I know quite a lot about coffee beans having been in the farming end
of coffee for over 20 years.
Estate Grown Coffee is a loose term- no basis for fact--UNLESS it is
certified Estate by a coffee group i.e. KCFA. Then and only then does
it indicate a paper trail back to the farm from where the coffee came
form. It has to only come from that farm. Here in Sharkey's
definition, it means nothing.
Estate House Roast means nothing except the coffee is roasted..
I suggest you ask Sharkey:) He ought to be able to give you lots of
information on those 2 terms.
aloha,
