From the producer

Bekele Belaycho produces coffee at Hora Ganet in Bensa and works with his family and more than 100 neighboring growers. His son Beleteno manages daily farm operations.

From the roaster

Verve Coffee Roasters is an independent specialty roaster founded in Santa Cruz, California, in 2007.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This exact archive page documents a traceable Hora Ganet lot with a 2,200 m elevation, flotation, and an extended 22–25 day natural drying protocol.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Corrected the tasting notes

Replaced the unrelated espresso release's Plum note with the archive release's exact Pineapple, Strawberry, and Sweet Cream notes.

02
Verified origin and handling

Confirmed Hora Ganet, Bensa/Sidama, 2,200 m, Ethiopian Heirloom, Natural process, flotation, and 22–25 days of raised-bed drying.

03
Separated sentiment

No independent exact-release review qualified; another roaster's Bekele Belaycho coffee was not treated as the same release.

What was added?

Exact product price, sold-out status, elevation, processing detail, variety and region links, and corrected release-specific tasting notes.

What wasn't added?

No original score or public sentiment rating; non-Verve Bekele Belaycho coffees are not exact matches.

Why it matters

The page no longer mixes this natural archive lot's flavor notes with Verve's separate current espresso release.

What you might taste

Verve's stated notes are Pineapple, Strawberry, and Sweet Cream; these are roaster-provided descriptors, not our tasting results.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-09) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

The exact roaster page, archive, catalogs with no reviews, product mirrors, the separate Verve espresso release, other-roaster coffees, and a non-matching green-coffee lot were excluded from sentiment scoring. Catalog indices without a transparent independent tasting method were not converted into a public rating.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
