At Café Pista, transparency is a core value in our approach to specialty coffee. That is why we provide transparency sheets for every coffee we offer. These sheets provide essential information about the coffee’s origin, cultivation practices, and how it was processed, so that every coffee lover can better understand what they are tasting.

Here is what you can generally find in our transparency sheets:

1. Precise coffee origin: The country, region, and often even the specific farm or producer who grew the coffee. This allows you to trace the coffee’s story back to its source.

2. Production methods and sustainable practices: We highlight the agricultural practices used, whether organic farming, fair trade, or other ethical initiatives. You will learn more about the producer’s commitment to practices that respect the environment and local communities.

3. Processing method: The type of processing the coffee underwent (washed, natural, honey, etc.) and how it affects the cup profile. This is key to understanding the complexity of the flavors.

4. Price paid to producers: We want to promote a direct and fair purchasing model by highlighting the price paid per kilogram to the producer, thus ensuring fair and transparent compensation.

5. Sensory profile: Each sheet includes tasting notes describing the specific aromas and flavors you can expect from the coffee, whether floral, fruity, chocolatey, or characterized by a bright acidity.
