Why some details are blank
  • harvest dateThe exact Verve archive does not publish a harvest date.
  • fermentation durationVerve confirms fermentation but does not state its duration.
  • cultivar proportionsCaturra and Bourbon are verified, but their proportions are not published.
  • whole-farm size and elevationDirectly relevant producer profiles conflict on broader farm figures; the exact release’s 2,100 m lot elevation is retained without reconciling incompatible whole-farm claims.
  • public sentiment ratingOnly one independent exact-coffee qualitative review was found, and it contains no numeric score.

From the producer

Petrona Perez is a second-generation producer who manages Finca Satchibal with her mother in Qom, Huehuetenango. Her mother established the family farm to create stability after Petrona’s father migrated for work.

From the roaster

Verve Coffee Roasters highlights this coffee as part of their archive, showcasing the work of producer Petrona Perez and her focus on consistent quality.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This lot connects a named producer, family farm, two cultivars, full washed-process sequence, lot elevation, and exact brew guidance. Verve reports the documented lot at 2,100 m on a roughly 1.3-hectare farm, while a later Gento producer profile gives different whole-farm figures; the discrepancy is preserved on the farm record instead of silently harmonized.
