From the producer

The coffee comes from partner smallholders in Veracruz and Puebla. La Perla supports regional producers with nursery genetics, organic compost, agronomic guidance, shared infrastructure, and premium cherry purchasing.

From the roaster

Verve describes clear black cherry and lime over a restrained cacao undertone, with structure and balance emphasized over intensity.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The release connects two high-elevation Mexican producer communities with a 60-hectare research and nursery project that preserves 35 hectares as forest and shares agricultural resources with neighboring farmers.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Partner-producer sourcing

The lot was assembled from high-elevation farms in Ixhuacán de los Reyes, Veracruz, and Quimixtlán, Puebla.

02
Cultivar composition

The release combines Geisha, SL28, and Pacamara from participating smallholders.

03
Washed processing

Verve identifies the lot as washed but does not disclose farm-level fermentation, washing, or drying schedules.

What was added?

No inoculated culture, fruit, or flavoring is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No co-fermentation ingredient or post-roast flavoring is disclosed.

Why it matters

Washed processing preserves clarity across a diverse multi-producer and multi-cultivar lot.

What you might taste

Black cherry, lime, cacao, and a clean, structured finish.
