The story

Verve says Benjamin Paz expanded into farming after taking over operations at the San Vicente mill and planted La Salsa in 2018. It reports that he secured top honors in 2024 while continuing to support producers across Santa Bárbara.

Challenges

Benjamin Paz previously encountered difficulties with seedling propagation, noting that SL-28 and Gesha plants struggled to thrive in the nursery on the La Salsa property. To address this, he opted to plant the varieties together in a single lot, resulting in a field blend.

Innovations

The exact Verve release is a washed Gesha lot. Its page does not document darkroom drying, anaerobic fermentation, or forest-conservation practices for this release.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
