Genji Challa Cooperative

Verve publishes Genji Challa Cooperative as the producer label for its current espresso release and says approximately 400 Ethiopian smallholders contribute coffee to the shared offering. Direct specialty-roaster documentation identifies Genji Challa as a washing station in Gera, Jimma, and as the second processing site operated by Nano Challa Cooperative.

History

Genji Challa first processed coffee in the 2018/2019 season. The app preserves Verve's current producer label while distinguishing the Genji Challa washing station from Nano Challa Cooperative, the documented operator of the site.
