Streetlevel

Streetlevel is a coffee that can be brewed several ways and still be a classically sweet and balanced cup of coffee. It has a bit of citrus-like sweet clementine and red apple acidity. That transitions into a honeycomb finish, ending on a well-rounded note.

Streetlevel is our forever blend where our focus is set on tying together our Farmlevel stories to the very people that consume them every day. Coffee changes seasonally based on harvest times and where the coffee is from. To maintain the coffee’s balanced and inviting flavor profile, Streetlevel is built with Guatemalan, Colombian, and Honduran coffees to anchor the blend and impart its complex sweetness. We change out the components as the year goes on, sourcing specifically from these countries to achieve this flavor profile.

• Farmlevel Story

  Farmlevel

  Each component, much like any track on a mixed tape, means something and adds something different. Streetlevel, our best track of Verve’s mixed tape, is composed of three very different regions blended to make up a balanced blend.

  Coming from the Santa Barbara region of Honduras is a component gathered from Peña Blanca’s Beneficio San Vicente. This selection features coffees produced by smallholder farmers scattered about the fog-shrouded slopes of the Santa Barbara mountain. This brings a lot of citrus and herbaceous aromatics to the blend.
  
  Alotenango is a large coffee-producing region and home to many smallholding farmers. One, in particular, is La Candelaria which is seated slightly south of Antigua on the western slopes of Volcan de Agua. The volcanic soil adds a richness specific to this region. It tastes and highlights red apple acidity in the blend.
  
  Urrao is a beautiful landscape of a region. There are rolling hills, a balance of hot and cold temperatures for coffee cherries to mature, and the smallholder producers here grow some of the best region lots in the country.
