Why this coffee is noteworthy

A fully documented station lot from the Mijane family with a classic clean, floral, stone-fruit-forward washed profile.

What was added?

Coffee profile

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
