Why some details are blank
  • fermentation detailsThe exact release is labeled washed, but fermentation duration, vessel, temperature, water changes, and washing sequence are not published.
  • drying methodNo lot-specific drying surface, duration, or moisture target is published for this Verve release.
  • harvestNo current crop year or lot-specific harvest dates are published.
  • same name farm relationshipUrrao has multiple farms called Finca El Rosal. No source establishes that Fray David Moreno’s 1,900-meter holding is the same property as Yesica Moreno’s 1,950-meter holding, so they remain separate records.
  • tasting note channel conflictVerve’s primary-domain collection lists white grape, honey, and lemon zest, while its Toast storefront lists spiced apple, fudge, and gingerbread; the primary-domain trio is retained.
  • public sentiment ratingThree independent exact-name catalog pages were found, but no qualifying hands-on exact-release review or numerical cup score was available.

From the producer

Fray David Moreno has grown coffee in Urrao, Antioquia, for more than 25 years and Chiroso for 15 years on his family’s Finca El Rosal, according to Verve.

From the roaster

Verve presents this as a light-roast, washed Chiroso from Urrao Valley and says each coffee is roasted to order.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Verve identifies Fray David Moreno and his Finca El Rosal by name and says premiums from Urrao’s parchment-purchasing program helped fund a processing facility and renovations to the family home.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Farm-specific provenance

Verve identifies this lot with Fray David Moreno’s Finca El Rosal in Urrao, Antioquia, at 1,900 meters; it is not linked to the separate same-named farm managed by Yesica Moreno.

02
Washed Chiroso

The current release is labeled Chiroso and washed. Lot-specific fermentation, washing, and drying parameters are not published.

03
Light roast

Verve lists the coffee as a 3/10 light roast and says coffees are roasted to order.

What was added?

No added fruit, flavoring, culture, or post-roast ingredient is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No fermentation duration, drying protocol, harvest date, owner tasting score, or public rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile now separates two same-named Urrao farms and connects this coffee only to the farm and producer that exact-release sources identify.

What you might taste

Verve’s primary-domain collection lists white grape, honey, and lemon zest. These are roaster notes, not this site’s tasting observations.

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

What the internet is saying
WE FOUND 3 RELEVANT PUBLIC SOURCES

AI-synthesized from publicly available information retrieved 2026-11-09. This is research, not our original tasting review.

0 of 3 sources discuss this exact coffee. The rest provide context about the farm, producer, variety or roaster — and are labeled "Context" below. Beanwired, BeanHoard, and Supply Coffee were checked as exact-name catalog or availability sources. None supplies a transparent independent tasting review, so no public sentiment rating is calculated.
Context from the roaster, farm or producer

Three independent exact-name catalog pages confirm the listing and core metadata, but none provides a qualifying hands-on tasting review or numerical cup score.
