How to read a coffee label, detail by detail.
A coffee label is a useful starting point. Read each detail separately, then ask about anything missing.
Start with what you can check
Find the coffee name, origin, roast level, bag weight and whether it is whole bean or ground. For Monte Romo, the website confirms the origin (Guanacaste, Costa Rica), the dark roast and three bag sizes. Ask us about the current bean or grind options.
- Origin
- Roast
- Format
- Best-by date
Details that need their own answer
A country name does not identify the species or variety. A roast level does not identify the processing method. Look for a best-by date, and ask for the roast date if it is not printed. The guides on species, processing and roast levels explain each term; then ask the supplier for the details of the batch you are considering.
Compare like with like
Before comparing offers, ask for current availability, the format you need and the ordering terms. This site takes enquiries: prices, sample terms and delivery are discussed directly with CaféTico.
