This summer marked the end of another sourcing season through Central America for our Green Coffee Buyer, Kylee, and she is back with all the coffee updates! ☕️🌱
For Kylee, returning to Santa Bárbara for the 7th time means deep relationships, driving into the mountains to visit farms, tasting dozens of coffees, and sitting down with long-time producers. ✨
Coffee truly takes a village. Just ask Jake, who joined Kylee on this most recent trip: “From employed farmworkers, to producers, mill workers, and cuppers... It’s no secret that Santa Barbara is home to some of the best coffees in the world and it’s amazing to see how the region has grown that reputation alongside Verve over the last decade and half.”
One of Kylee’s favorite days on this trip took her hiking through the Santa Bárbara National Forest to the natural spring that supplies the water Arturo Paz uses at his wet mill to wash his coffee. It was a reminder for her that every cup starts long before roasting. Water quality, elevation, farming decisions, and years of experience all play a role in shaping what eventually ends up in your cup.
From the cupping table to hiking through national forests, swipe through to see what a sourcing season can look like! 📸

What people say
Verve Coffee Roasters at 500 Mateo Street, Unit 102 in Los Angeles is a standout coffee shop with deep roots and a clear passion for great coffee. The brand began in 2007 when founders Ryan and Colby opened the first Verve cafe on 41st Ave in Santa Cruz, California—an origin story shaped by surf culture, an active lifestyle, and a genuine love of living.
Even as Verve has grown to locations across major cities from Los Angeles to San Francisco and beyond to Tokyo, its identity remains strongly connected to Santa Cruz. That connection shows in the care behind every cup: Verve roasts its coffee on vintage roasters while staying true to the spirit of the rugged California coast that helped inspire the company in the first place.
For anyone looking for a coffee experience rooted in craft, consistency, and character, Verve Coffee Roasters delivers with confidence—right in the heart of Los Angeles.
