Altitude

100 m

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

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.

Where each fact came from

Acidity

“A heavy, boozy coffee with lots of body, stewed stone fruit sweetness, and a low acidity.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Altitude, lowest

“While the processing site sits at around 2,100 metres above sea level, the coffee for this lot is sourced from smallholder farmers in Aricha, where elevations reach approximately 2,150 metres above sea level.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Organic certification

“The coffee is grown organically, although no organic certification is held due to the high cost of verification.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“The coffee is produced from local heirloom cultivars and is harvested between November and January.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

A heavy, boozy coffee with lots of body, stewed stone fruit sweetness, and a low acidity… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Ephtah Specialty Coffee works to build sustainable and collaborative supply chains across Ethiopia, with a focus on quality, long-term relationships and support for producer communities.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Region

“This anaerobic lot comes from Aricha, in Yirgacheffe, and is supplied through Girma Tamiru.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Processing

“The anaerobic natural process provides a lot of punch up front, with the floral notes we love from Ethiopian coffees sitting nicely in the tail end of the pallet.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Seasonal

“The site has around 150 drying beds, with 3 permanent employees and around 70 seasonal workers during the harvest period.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

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.
