This coffee is a Catuai variety grown in Costa Rica at an altitude between 1,900 and 2,000 meters. It is processed using the yellow honey method, which involves partial mucilage retention to balance body and sweetness while maintaining clarity. The high-altitude growth allows the coffee to mature slowly, resulting in a steady, consistent structure and softer acidity.
Founded in Santa Cruz, California, in 2007 by college friends Ryan O'Donovan and Colby Barr, Verve Coffee Roasters was born from a shared passion for music, design, and coffee.The duo combined Ryan's coffee industry background with Colby's entrepreneurial spirit to build a brand focused on the third wave coffee movement. Their approach is rooted in direct trade partnerships through their Farmlevel Initiative, which emphasizes paying premiums for quality and investing in coffee-producing communities. They roast in small batches on vintage Probat roasters, aiming to craft a future for coffee that is equitable and innovative.
