From the producer

Efraín “Macho” Naranja and his son Kevin manage Finca La Obediencia, where they combine multi-generational farming traditions with a commitment to quality and precise processing.

From the roaster

Verve sources this lot from the high-altitude volcanic soils of Tarrazú, where the slow maturation of the cherries helps develop a consistent structure and refined flavor profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee is processed using a yellow honey method, which balances body and sweetness while retaining enough mucilage to add depth without sacrificing clarity.

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.
