From the producer

Jorge Lanza has worked in Honduran coffee for more than thirty years. He spent over a decade leading ANACAFEH and won the 2013 Honduras Cup of Excellence with a washed Parainema from La Huerta scoring 92.75.

From the roaster

Verve presents the coffee as vibrant and tropical, with passion-fruit brightness, refreshing melon, and a soft herbal raspberry-leaf finish.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This exact Verve release is Parainema from 1,700 to 1,800 meters. A separate Ally Coffee La Huerta offering is Catimor at 1,650 meters and was not merged into this record.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Washed process

Verve identifies this exact Parainema release as washed.

02
Separate-lot context

An importer documents a different La Huerta Catimor lot with about 12 hours of fermentation, three washing stages, and raised-bed drying.

What was added?

No fruit, flavoring, or inoculated culture is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The Catimor lot's fermentation and drying schedule was not assigned to this Parainema release.

Why it matters

Keeping La Huerta lots separate prevents the cultivar, elevation, and processing schedule of one harvest from replacing another.

What you might taste

Passion fruit, melon, raspberry leaf, bright sweetness, and a juicy layered structure.

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

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-25) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

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.
