From the producer

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.

From the roaster

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.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

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.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the current exact release

Confirmed José Martínez Guzmán, Huila, Pink Bourbon, washed processing, 1,800 meters, light roast, current notes, and Verve's Dwell recipe.

02
Reconciled structured commerce fields

Filled the missing $27.25 USD price for the 340 g/12 oz package and refreshed availability to Available on November 7, 2026.

03
Kept historical releases separate

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.

04
Audited public sentiment

TheBeanGeek's exact page explicitly has no ratings. Catalog pages and Cherrybook's sparse evidence index were not treated as independent cup scores.

What was added?

Verified structured price, refreshed availability, exact-release source separation, and current evidence notes.

What wasn't added?

No fermentation duration, washing protocol, drying method, harvest date, formal grade, bag-specific roast date, owner tasting score, or public sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now aligns its structured commerce fields with its own verified editorial copy while preserving exact-release identity.

What you might taste

Verve lists pear, nectarine, and brown sugar; these remain roaster-provided descriptors rather than owner tasting observations.

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 2026-11-07) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

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.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
