Verve Coffee Roasters

Wilder Blend

Wilder pairs experimental yeast-fermented coffees from Néstor Neffer Lasso Zuñiga's El Diviso in Pitalito, Huila, Colombia with a high-elevation washed Ethiopian heirloom from Mustefa Abakeno in Jimma. The Colombian portion uses varieties like Sidra and Ombligon with inoculated fermentations designed to push fruit saturation and aromatics, while the Ethiopian component relies on shaded drying and temperature control to preserve clarity and structure. The result is a bold, expressive cup that balances fermentation-driven intensity with precision—neither component overwhelms, and the blend refuses generic coffee comfort in favor of deliberate sensory experimentation.
