From the producer

Gerson Mora has spent more than 25 years developing the 8-hectare Villa Pastora with his wife and children. Verve says he grows Bourbon Ají and Bourbon Rosado, avoids chemical inputs, maintains native trees and wildlife, and shares fermentation knowledge with nearby producers.

From the roaster

Verve presents this 2-of-10 light roast as crisp and fruit-driven, built around hibiscus, yellow plum, and dried cranberry.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This archived Farmlevel Reserve release ties Gerson Mora, Finca Villa Pastora, Bourbon Ají, washed processing, and an exact 1,680-meter elevation to a named single-farm coffee. Verve's archived exact-product data lists $38 for 150 g, but the product URL now returns 404 and the coffee is absent from Verve's current Farmlevel Reserve collection, so availability is recorded as sold out. Fermentation duration, drying method, and harvest remain undisclosed for the exact Verve release.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Reverified the exact Verve release

Confirmed the archived $38/150 g specification, Gerson Mora, Finca Villa Pastora, Bourbon Ají, washed processing, 1,680 meters, light roast, and Verve's hibiscus, yellow plum, and dried cranberry notes.

02
Corrected stale availability

Changed availability from Available to Sold out because the exact Verve URL now returns 404 and the coffee is absent from the current official Farmlevel Reserve collection.

03
Protected lot-level evidence

Did not import fermentation duration or drying details from another roaster's Villa Pastora Bourbon Ají because Verve does not establish that it is the identical crop and lot.

What was added?

Verified $38 USD price for the archived 150 g package and corrected current availability.

What wasn't added?

No harvest date, exact fermentation duration, drying method, formal grade, independent sentiment score, or original tasting score was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile no longer presents an unavailable archived release as currently purchasable, while retaining the exact release's documented identity and sensory information.

What you might taste

Verve lists hibiscus, yellow plum, and dried cranberry; these are roaster-provided descriptors, not our 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
