From the producer

Edgardo Tinoco planted his first coffee plot in 1995. Verve documents his Cup of Excellence progression from finalist in 2009 to third place in 2010 and first place in 2011, followed by more than a decade of partnership with the roaster.

From the roaster

Verve presents the lot as a light-roasted, washed Parainema with bright acidity, crisp fruit, clarity, and a clean finish.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This is a high-elevation Parainema from one of Honduras's most recognized producers. The exact farm is not named on Verve's product page; the Santa Bárbara Mountain Nature Reserve is geographic context, not a farm.

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 2026-10-25) 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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
