Nano Challa Cooperative brings together smallholders in Gera, Jimma. Verve says approximately 400 farmers contribute to the current offering and credits TechnoServe-supported shared processing facilities; historical cooperative totals vary by source year.
Verve Coffee Roasters lists this as a $27.75, 12-ounce, light-roast Ethiopian single origin, roasted to order.
The release combines smallholder production with a water-saving Penagos eco-pulper and a two-stage shade-and-sun drying sequence, producing a bright floral profile.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Verve says approximately 400 Nano Challa smallholders contribute to this release.
The washed coffee is depulped with a Penagos eco-pulper to reduce water use.
The coffee is dried under shade before being moved into direct sunlight to finish.
No added fruit, flavoring, culture, or post-roast ingredient is disclosed.
No fermentation duration, soak protocol, crop year, individual farm identities, owner tasting score, or public rating was inferred.
The profile now connects the exact Nano Challa station, cooperative, and Jimma geography while keeping offering-specific contributor counts separate from historical membership totals.
Verve's main collection lists raspberry, jasmine, and white tea. These are roaster notes, not this site's tasting observations.
