This coffee is very special to us as it is produced by the legendary Roberto Mata and sourced through Plot. We first tasted Roberto's coffee in 2021, back then we did not yet have roasting operations and we were instead collaborating with some of the best roasters out there.
Roberto has accumulated 50 years of experience in coffee cultivation. He has focused extensively on processing, continually refining his fermentation recipes. Due to his drive and curiosity, he has been regarded as a pioneer in sustainable coffee farming for decades.
Four years ago, he, along with his wife Doris and their five children, founded a small family business. Directly behind their home is their own washing station, equipped with a water-efficient Ecopulper. All lots are dried on raised beds and protected from the midday sun with shade nets.

What Swerl Coffee Roasters says about itself
Fairtrade
“Traceability, fair trade and ethically sourced have become buzz words in the industry this past decade but if we had to sum up Swerl into two words it’s likely seasonality and relationships.” their page (opens in a new tab)
Direct trade
“Grateful for all the work everyone does, from our direct trade partners in Brazil the Barreto family, the amazing work of the importer Semilla helping to build producer-run collectives at origin, to single producers like Jhon Jairo in Colombia dedicated to quality, community and consistency.” their page (opens in a new tab)
These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.
Where each fact came from
A further 6 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
