Why some details are blank

altitude mVerve publishes a 1,700–1,890 m range, so no midpoint is stored as an exact scalar.
cultivar identityVerve lists “Baitan”; the profile preserves the source spelling rather than silently treating it as Batian, and the exact page does not list SL34.
harvestThe exact archived release does not publish a harvest month or crop year.
fermentation durationThe double-washed method is identified, but stage durations are not published.
drying methodThe exact release does not publish the drying surface, duration, or terminal moisture.

From the producer

Approximately 500 smallholders, most farming less than one hectare, deliver cherry to Gura Factory. The factory is managed by Othaya Farmers Cooperative Society.

From the roaster

Verve publishes strawberry, guava, and fudge for this light-roast, double-washed archive release.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The page now distinguishes the AA grade from variety and preserves the documented elevation range instead of presenting a calculated midpoint as an exact altitude.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Cherry delivery

About 500 Nyeri smallholders deliver cherry to Gura Factory.

Double washing

Gura uses the traditional Kenyan double-washed method; the exact release page does not publish stage durations.

Grading

AA refers to the Kenyan green-coffee grade used for this lot, not to a cultivar.

What was added?

No added ingredients are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

This is not described as a co-ferment, infused, inoculated, or post-roast flavored coffee.

Why it matters

Careful washed processing supports the bright fruit clarity associated with this Nyeri lot.

What you might taste

Strawberry, guava, and fudge, according to the roaster.

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

What we found

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

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.
