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.
We take no commission and no payment for placement.
What Prolog Coffee says about this coffee
History
The organic-certified coffee La Higuera is the first coffee from the new Peru harvest that we are releasing this season. This is now the fourth year we are working with this coffee, having first introduced it in 2020.
This coffee is named after the small village which it is produced in, and the small number of producers in the village that contribute their coffee cherries to be processed together.
Our Roastery Manager, Mikolaj, visited Origin Coffee Lab in both 2023 and 2025, and the improvements in quality across recent harvests have been remarkable. Produced by smallholder farmers in Colasay and grown between 1800 and 2200 masl, this washed Bourbon is round and sweet with notes of brown sugar, red apple and stone fruit, supported by a refined and elegant acidity.

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.

Publishes a transparency report
“Every year we make a transparency report where you can see what steps we have taken and what we are currently working on.” 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 5 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.
