Verve Coffee Roasters
Santa Cruz, CA, USA
Maybe we already said balanced, but this cup is that. Dried strawberries on the aroma and tasting notes of sweet cream as this cools. It all ties together with a mild woodiness of pine--mainly on the aroma. This coffee is naturally processed, preserving a lot of dried fruit sweetness onto the cup. It can pair with milk and also be an excellent coffee to ease someone into lighter roasted coffee. This coffee is for those who want balanced and creamy espresso and is vibrant when brewed in a french press. Situated between Sidamo and Yirgacheffe is the region of Guji Highlands. Both neighbors are known for their specialty coffee and unique flavor profiles, and the region of Guji is of no difference in their distinct flavor profiles. Until 2002, Guji was considered a part of the Yirgacheffe region but established itself as its own region. This unique gathering of cherries sets this region apart in flavor and overall cup experience. This farm was founded in 2012 and is entirely family-run. It is located on 250 hectares of land (or 617 acres), and the farm reaches up to 2300 MASL. The farm is nestled in and surrounded by a rainforest where they practice organic farming. The farmers also help neighboring smallholding producers by purchasing coffee and making the mill available for processing their coffees.
