Named for the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, and built as the easy one: direct trade coffees from El Salvador and Guatemala, roasted medium.
The bag reads honeydew, apricot and hazelnut. Soft stone fruit up front, toasted nuts underneath, and a balanced mouthfeel that does not demand anything of you first thing in the morning.
Medium roast, whole bean, 12 oz.
A medium roast blend of direct trade El Salvador and Guatemala, and the most forgiving coffee Verve make. Soft stone fruit, toasted hazelnut, nothing sharp.
Drip or batch brew, which is what a house blend is for
AeroPress, which Verve themselves point at for this one
Pour-over if you want the apricot to separate out
With milk, where the hazelnut does the work
As the everyday bag, if you keep two coffees going at once

The Brand
Verve Coffee Roasters
Verve opened in Santa Cruz in November 2007. Colby Barr and Ryan O'Donovan met at Chico State over music, design and coffee, and built the first cafe on 41st Avenue in Pleasure Point. They still own it and still roast there.
Sourcing runs through what they call the Farmlevel Initiative, their own programme for buying at origin. The largest piece of it so far, the Nursery Project, planted 60,000 Caturra Chiroso seedlings in Urrao, Colombia, an economic jumpstart for smallholders farming at high elevation in country that is hard to reach.
The blends are the everyday line and stay the same year to year. The single origin bags rotate with the season.
Pantry FAQs
Will this ship with my wine?
No, pantry items travel separately.
Pantry items are fulfilled by our partner retailer in California, so they ship on their own and will not arrive in the same box as your wine. Order both and you should expect two parcels, often on different days.
You will receive tracking for the pantry parcel within 3-4 business days.
Do I need to sign for the delivery?
No. Unlike wine, food does not need a signature.
Wine requires an adult signature on delivery. Pantry items do not, so they can be left at your door like any ordinary parcel.
Can I order pantry items on their own, without wine?
Yes, a pantry order stands on its own.
Yes. Nothing here is tied to a wine purchase. Shipping for pantry items is calculated separately at checkout.
How should I store it?
Check the label first.
Most of what we carry is shelf stable until it is opened, and would rather sit in a cool dark cupboard than on a sunny counter. Anything that needs refrigerating once opened says so on the label.
Something arrived damaged or wrong. What now?
Get in touch and we will sort it out.
Email us with your order number and a photo of the problem and we will make it right.
Why does a natural wine shop sell pantry items?
Because the bottle is rarely the whole evening.
These are things we actually cook with, picked by the same people who pick the wine. A good bottle tends to want something on the table next to it, and this is the shortlist we would hand a friend who asked.
