Why some details are blank
  • farmVerve names Arturo Paz and Edgardo Tinoco but does not map either contribution to a specific farm; known farms associated with the producers cannot be assumed for this lot.
  • varietyThe exact archive says only 'Various' and does not publish cultivar names, producer-to-cultivar mapping, or proportions.
  • altitude mVerve publishes a 1,600–1,800 m range; the numeric field remains blank rather than inventing a midpoint.
  • fermentationThe coffee is identified as washed, but release-specific fermentation method, vessel, and duration are not disclosed.
  • drying methodThe exact archive does not disclose the release-specific drying surface or duration.
  • harvestThe exact archive does not disclose harvest timing or crop year.

From the producer

Arturo Paz builds on the Beneficio San Vicente family legacy through farm management and experimentation. Neighboring producer Edgardo Tinoco has refined his farming since the 1990s and is recognized for Cup of Excellence results.

From the roaster

Verve archives Yojoa as a light-roasted washed collaboration from Arturo Paz and Edgardo Tinoco in Santa Bárbara.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This is a clearly documented two-producer Santa Bárbara lot rather than an anonymous regional blend. The 1,600–1,800 m washed profile is built around citrus clarity, steady sweetness, and tea-like structure.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Two-producer collaboration

The lot combines coffee from neighboring Santa Bárbara producers Arturo Paz and Edgardo Tinoco; their individual percentages are not published.

02
Washed processing

Verve explicitly classifies the collaborative lot as washed but does not publish fermentation or drying steps.

03
Light roasting

Verve places the coffee at 4/10 on its proprietary scale and labels it a light roast.

What was added?

No flavoring, fruit addition, or inoculant is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

Individual farms, cultivar names, producer percentages, fermentation details, drying method, harvest, and roast date are not published.

Why it matters

The profile can identify both producers and the shared regional lot without falsely assigning the whole coffee to one farm or filling in undocumented processing details.

What you might taste

Lime, caramel, and black tea.

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

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-09) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Lot & Origin is an exact catalog record that corroborates price but supplies no tasting assessment. Yojoa SL28, older Lake Yojoa releases, and individual Arturo Paz or Edgardo Tinoco coffees concern different lots, cultivars, farms, or seasons and were excluded.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
