Context
Verve Coffee Roasters' Costa Rica El Vendaval showcases the Red Catuai varietal from the Calderon family in Tarrazú, grown at 1900–2100 masl. The lot employs the white honey processing method, which balances natural fermentation with selective fruit retention to craft a distinctive cup profile. The roaster identifies gentle fruit and dessert-like characteristics—a profile typical of well-executed honey processing, where controlled pulp contact creates sweetness without the heavier body of fully natural coffees.
