Juan Benitez moved to Santa Bárbara in 1980, purchased land in 1984, and began growing coffee with his family fourteen years later. Verve says this Pacas lot reflects more than 25 years of the family’s coffee production.
Verve describes this 3/10 light roast as silky and sweet.
A traceable Pacas lot from Juan Benitez, with producer, origin, elevation, a 24-hour concrete-tank dry fermentation, greenhouse raised-bed drying, and dry-milling partner all disclosed.

The finished coffee was delivered to Beneficio San Vicente for dry milling.
Nothing disclosed.
No co-ferments, infusions, or post-roast flavoring disclosed.
The 24-hour dry-fermented washed method and protected raised-bed drying support a clean, sweet profile while the greenhouse helps control drying conditions.

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 2026-10-26) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.
Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

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.
