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

Altitude, highest

“Altitude: 1400 - 1600 MASL We teamed up with our neighbours Luk Bros for this one — they make homemade Chinese food that hits all the right notes: warming, comforting, full of flavour.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Altitude, lowest

“Altitude: 1400 - 1600 MASL We teamed up with our neighbours Luk Bros for this one — they make homemade Chinese food that hits all the right notes: warming, comforting, full of flavour.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“They grow mainly Catimor p3 and p4, and take a quality-first approach: ripe cherry only, compost over chemicals, and meticulous drying on African beds.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

Processed through anaerobic fermentation, this lot is rich with boozy liqueur chocolate flavour, with a little hawthorn twang that lingers in the aftertaste… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Roast level

“Roasted lightly, but appears as a mixed dark/light roast - this is due to the natural sugars absorbed during the fermentation process.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

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.
