From the producer

Smallholder out-growers selectively handpick ripe red cherries from highland semi-forest plots and deliver them to Anasora Washing Station. Individual names and the contributor count were not disclosed.

From the roaster

Verve Coffee Roasters presents this selection as a vibrant, fruit-forward espresso option. It is designed to showcase the bright and complex characteristics inherent to natural-processed Ethiopian beans.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This espresso-focused release pairs very high-elevation Guji landraces with extended whole-cherry drying. The process builds fruit sweetness and body while the cool highland environment preserves acidity and definition for espresso or milk drinks.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Selective picking

Smallholder farmers delivered ripe red cherries to Anasora Washing Station.

02
Short aerobic fermentation

The whole-cherry lot received a short oxygen-present fermentation before drying.

03
Extended natural drying

Cherries dried for three to four weeks on African raised beds with regular turning.

04
Espresso-focused light roast

Verve used a light roast designed for aromatic intensity, repeatable extraction, and milk compatibility.

What was added?

Connected Guji, Anasora Washing Station, the new smallholder producer collective, Ethiopian Landraces, Natural processing, elevation range, harvest window, fermentation, drying, archive price, roast, bag size, and three recipes.

What wasn't added?

No individual farmer, exact cultivar, contributor count, or crop year was invented. The unsupported estate language and unrelated anaerobic-processing claims were removed from the facility record.

Why it matters

The page now distinguishes the washing station from the district and accurately represents the coffee as a community lot from smallholder out-growers.

What you might taste

Ripe strawberry and Meyer-lemon brightness with a subtle pine-like complexity and enough body for espresso.
