From the producer

Verve credits about 140 producers surrounding the Habtamu Fikadu Wet Mill. The mill was established in 2015 by Aaga Dinsa, whose family is from Kuri kebele.

From the roaster

Verve archived this as a light-roast Ethiopian single origin with a silky, stone-fruit-led profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The archived page documents both the surrounding producer group and an unusually detailed two-stage submerged-fermentation sequence, while keeping the coffee's identity anchored to the wet mill rather than presenting Habtamu Fikadu as a single farmer.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Exact station and producer network

Retained the existing Habtamu Fikadu Wet Mill and 140-producer-group relationships supported by Verve.

Two-stage submerged process

Documented 48 to 72 hours submerged before washing and a second 12-hour submerged stage afterward.

Raised-bed drying

Recorded Verve's 10 to 12 day raised-bed drying range without adding unreported temperature or moisture targets.

What was added?

Four source-attributed editorial sections and explicit unknown-field explanations were added.

What wasn't added?

No individual farms, exact cultivars, harvest date, process measurements beyond the published timings or public sentiment score was added.

Why it matters

The page now distinguishes a wet-mill community lot from a single-farmer coffee while preserving the unusually detailed release-specific process.

What you might taste

Verve lists apricot, golden raisin and sweet cream.

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.
