ABOUT THE COFFEE / REGION

La Pradera is located in an area within Dipilito, Nueva Segovia, where the land is relatively flat compared to the surrounding mountainous and steeply sloped regions. The area is named “The Meadow” because of the lush green scenery visible from the highest point. The main crop here is coffee, as it has been for decades, though the amount of land cultivated has fluctuated due to various social circumstances affecting the communities. However, there is renewed motivation among producers to grow better quality coffee, as this flat area offers ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality beans.

The varieties in these areas are cultivated at average altitudes ranging from 1200 to 1600 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l). The soils are generally clay-loam and rich in organic matter. These varieties are notable for their quality expression. Despite their high susceptibility to coffee leaf rust, producers have focused on developing techniques to mitigate the severe impact of this disease since 2012. This has involved increased care and investment in agronomic management to control the disease and preserve these exceptional coffee varieties.

With the support of PECA and through technical assistance, producers have gained valuable knowledge that enables them to implement effective monitoring as part of integrated pest and disease management. This has led to improved crop quality and health, ensuring a superior cup of coffee. Today, producers continue to pursue quality and continuous improvement to offer consistent and increasingly exceptional coffee.

        FAQ

        When will I receive my coffee?

        Our coffee is sent via Australia Post .
        Tracking services are provided and you will receive your tracking number once we dispatch your order.

        Parcel Post by AustPost normally takes under 6 business days and Express Post by AustPost normally under 3 business days.

        Upon receiving your order, we generally send your order out within two business days as we aim for you to have the freshest roast possible.

        We do have roast schedule's and some orders may be delayed waiting for those roast days - we will let you know if there's any lengthy delays.

        Please allow extra time over public holidays or during major holiday periods and weekends.

        Please note if you order later than Thursday, your order might not be able to arrive until Tuesday the following week.

        Please understand drivers are human, some errors can happen. When it happens, don't hesitate and contact us at hello@symmetrycoffeeroasters.com.au   or "Chat with us" from the website.

        Walk through "Little Things Cafe" you will find your order to the right as you enter the roastery gates on a black steel shelf with your name/# stickered on your parcel.

        Place your order, then give us some time to roast and pack for you (usually less than two business days).

        Once received ready for pickup notification, come in, check in, and say hi to either Matty or Po.

        Can you grind my coffee?

        Sorry, we sell whole beans only.

         
        The reason being is that pre-grinding freshly roasted coffee means that it affects the integrity of the coffee and this makes the coffee expire a lot faster. It's like having artisan bread being pre-sliced or a piece of fruit being left out in the sun!

        I have other questions

        Send us your queries from our website "chat with us" function, our roasters Matty & Po will get back to you as soon as possible, if they are not online, you will get an email response.
