Price not usable
Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
No roaster can pay to change a figure or the order of a list; any paid placement is labelled Sponsored.
What da Matteo Roastery says about this coffee
250 grams of whole roasted coffee beans.
This coffee comes from the Shale washing station near Worka, where nearly 1,500 smallholder farmers handpicked cherries throughout the harvest season.
Grown on small family plots without fertilizers or pesticides, this coffee is as pure as it gets — a true reflection of its terroir. Once delivered, the cherries are carefully sorted, weighed, and processed the traditional way, then dried slowly on raised beds to develop their signature character.
Expect a sweet cup with a graceful balance of fruit and floral elegance.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia
da Matteo Roastery describe this coffee as fruity, citrus, tea-like. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
tea-like is unusual here — 18% of coffee from Ethiopia are described that way.
