From the producer

Antonio Rigno is a celebrated producer in Piatã, Bahia. Contextual sources document a 2022 Cup of Excellence lot from Fazenda Tijuco and describe the Rigno family at São Judas Tadeu, but the exact Intelligentsia release names no farm, so neither is linked to this coffee.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia Coffee presents this single-origin release around Antonio Rigno’s Cup of Excellence record and continued hands-on production.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Antonio Rigno has three top-ten Brazil Cup of Excellence finishes, according to Intelligentsia. The release is notable for the producer’s record, while its exact farm and production details remain undisclosed.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Archived commerce structured

Recorded the exact $21 USD / 340 g release and refreshed its sold-out status.

02
Producer identity preserved

Retained the existing Antonio Rigno producer relationship while leaving farm and region empty because the exact release names neither.

03
Exact qualitative source counted

Corrected the internet-pulse mismatch by counting one exact-product Reddit brew account as qualitative evidence.

04
Adjacent lots excluded

Did not transfer Fazenda São Judas Tadeu, Fazenda Tijuco, Piatã, Catuaí, pulped-natural processing, elevation or Cup of Excellence scores from other Antonio Rigno coffees.

What was added?

Structured $21 commerce data and one transparent exact-product qualitative sentiment source.

What wasn't added?

No exact farm, region, cultivar, process, altitude, harvest, fermentation, drying method, conventional roast level, formal grade, numeric public rating or house score.

Why it matters

Antonio Rigno has produced multiple celebrated coffees across more than one farm. Keeping the exact Intelligentsia release separate prevents well-documented but different lots from filling its missing fields.

What you might taste

Intelligentsia lists apple and raw sugar. One independent owner found both V60 brews excellent and described the constant-temperature brew as possibly cleaner and brighter.
