José Martínez Guzmán is a Huila producer at Finca El Casino. He learned agronomy and processing from his parents, later bought his father’s land, and placed fifth in the 2021 Colombia Cup of Excellence with a washed Pink Bourbon.
Verve presents this current light-roast release as a washed, 1,800-meter Pink Bourbon from José Martínez Guzmán at Finca El Casino, with pear, nectarine, brown sugar, lively acidity, defined sweetness, smooth structure, and a clean finish.
The page connects a current Verve release to José Martínez Guzmán and Finca El Casino rather than leaving it as a generic Huila coffee. It also keeps this pear–nectarine–brown-sugar release distinct from Verve's older raspberry–peach–grapefruit archive.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Confirmed José Martínez Guzmán, Huila, Pink Bourbon, washed processing, 1,800 meters, light roast, current notes, and Verve's Dwell recipe.
Filled the missing $27.25 USD price for the 340 g/12 oz package and refreshed availability to Available on November 7, 2026.
Did not import the older Verve archive's raspberry, peach, grapefruit, roast profile, or brew recipes into this current pear, nectarine, and brown-sugar release.
TheBeanGeek's exact page explicitly has no ratings. Catalog pages and Cherrybook's sparse evidence index were not treated as independent cup scores.
Verified structured price, refreshed availability, exact-release source separation, and current evidence notes.
No fermentation duration, washing protocol, drying method, harvest date, formal grade, bag-specific roast date, owner tasting score, or public sentiment rating was inferred.
The page now aligns its structured commerce fields with its own verified editorial copy while preserving exact-release identity.
Verve lists pear, nectarine, and brown sugar; these remain roaster-provided descriptors rather than owner tasting observations.

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.
What the internet is saying about this coffee
Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-07) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.
TheBeanGeek's exact page explicitly invites the first rating and therefore contributes no sentiment score. BeanHoard, The Press, and Cherrybook are catalog corroboration rather than independently authored tasting reviews. Cherrybook's 74 is a sparse evidence-of-quality index, not a cup score. The older Verve José Martínez archive and other roasters' coffees were excluded.

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.
