The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Traceability

Confirmed the existing Hunapu community, Antigua, Java, and washed-process relationships from the exact roaster page.

02
Release facts

Added January–April 2026 harvest, $34 price, 8-ounce size, sold-out status, brew guidance, and the published elevation range.

What was added?

Four editorial sections, refreshed description, current commercial status, explicit unknown-field reasons, and release-specific evidence notes.

What wasn't added?

No point elevation, individual farm identities, roast level, process timings, or public score was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now distinguishes a verified community lot from unnamed individual farms and keeps an evidence index separate from tasting scores.

What you might taste

Caramel sweetness, crisp apple, and bright lemon zest.
