From the producer

This is a regional blend from many smallholder farms rather than a single estate. Verve describes typical holdings as roughly 1–5 hectares and does not identify every contributor.

From the roaster

Verve describes crisp red apple layered with milk chocolate and butterscotch sweetness, with a polished washed-coffee finish.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A transparent regional blend that correctly preserves many-farm sourcing, a documented elevation range, and a single cultivar without inventing a cooperative or farm identity.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Regional aggregation

Smallholding producers across multiple Yacuanquer farms contributed Caturra.

02
Washed processing

The coffee was washed; exact fermentation and drying details are not published on Verve's release page.

03
Regional blending

The lots were combined to represent Yacuanquer rather than a single named farm.

What was added?

No added ingredients are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

This is not described as co-fermented, infused, inoculated, or flavored after roasting.

Why it matters

The washed method and high-elevation regional blend emphasize clarity while preserving a broad expression of Yacuanquer.

What you might taste

Red apple, milk chocolate, and butterscotch, according to Verve.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse
