Why some details are blank

altitude mDirect sources publish a 1,600–1,800 meter range (Verve lists 1,100–1,800 m), so no point altitude was inferred.
harvestThe archived Verve release does not publish its harvest date or crop period; a different 2026 roaster release is context only.
scoreNo qualifying independent exact-release numerical coffee score was found; the venue rating was excluded.

From the producer

Smallholder members of New Ngariama Farmers Cooperative Society cultivate coffee around Ngariama and deliver hand-sorted cherry to Kamwangi Factory, one of the cooperative's three wet mills.

From the roaster

Verve Coffee Roasters highlights this single-origin selection for its vibrant and balanced characteristics, featuring distinct fruit and chocolate notes.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A clearly documented washed Kenyan lot whose tropical fruit and citrus profile is backed by detailed factory processing and a mixed cultivar field base.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Factory role corrected

Removed Kamwangi Factory from the farm field and kept it as the documented processing site.

Cooperative relationship connected

Linked the existing New Ngariama Farmers Cooperative Society record using direct current context for the same factory.

Processing and sentiment verified

Preserved Verve’s exact processing details and recorded one qualitative exact-coffee independent tasting without converting the venue rating into a coffee score.

What was added?

Verified archived price, sizes, sold-out status, factory role, cooperative context, mixed cultivars, fermentation, washing, drying, elevation range, roaster notes, and one qualitative independent cup report.

What wasn't added?

No farm, individual producer names, cultivar percentages, exact harvest for the Verve release, point altitude, or numerical public sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile no longer represents a washing station as a farm and separates an exact cup description from a venue-level rating.

What you might taste

Mango, orange, and dark chocolate from Verve, with berry, citrus, and brown-sugar descriptors in one independent café report.

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.
