Coffee beans
What makes one bag of beans taste different from another: origin, variety, processing and roast, with tasting notes clearly marked as reported rather than guaranteed.
- Ethiopia Yirgacheffe (washed)
A washed-process arabica from the Yirgacheffe area of southern Ethiopia: an example of one origin and one process. The Ethiopia entry sets out what the sources say about the name.
- Brazil (natural process)
A natural-process Brazilian arabica: coffee dried in the whole fruit. The Brazil entry gives the trade's shorthand for how such coffee is expected to taste, and what that shorthand leaves out.
- Kenya Nyeri (washed)
A washed-process arabica from Nyeri, in central Kenya: an example of one origin and one process. Which cultivars a given lot contains is the seller's to state; the Kenya entry sets out what the sources say about SL28, SL34 and the others.
- Guatemala Antigua (washed)
A washed-process arabica sold under the name of Antigua, in Guatemala: an example of one origin and one process. The Guatemala entry sets out what the name is and what the sources say about it.
