Why some details are blank

altitude mA 1,100–1,450 m range is documented for Fazenda Sertão generally, but the exact release sources do not establish this lot's position within the farm.
harvestThe exact release sources do not publish a crop year or harvest window.
fermentationNatural processing is verified, but no lot-specific fermentation protocol is published.
drying methodThe exact release sources do not document the drying surface, equipment, or duration.
roast levelNo conventional light-to-dark roast level is published for the exact release.
gradeNo formal lot grade is published.
flavor versionThe live official Apple + Raw Sugar wording differs from Cherrybook's later raw sugar, cocoa, and golden raisin snapshot; both are labeled by source and version.
public sentimentNo qualifying independent exact-release rating was found; Cherrybook's index is not a cup score.

From the producer

The Dias Pereira family produces this coffee at Fazenda Sertão in Carmo de Minas, with a long-running focus on quality and natural processing.

From the roaster

This natural-processed Yellow Bourbon is a classic, full-bodied Brazilian coffee that offers a comforting and accessible flavor profile. It is characterized by its rich sweetness and balanced notes of cocoa, nuts, and fruit.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A precisely traced natural Yellow Bourbon from the Dias Pereira family at Fazenda Sertão, tied to the farm’s renewed natural-process quality work.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Verified the exact roaster listing

Intelligentsia confirms the Dias Pereira family, Fazenda Sertão, Carmo de Minas, Yellow Bourbon, natural processing, Apple + Raw Sugar, a $19 price, and sold-out status.

Reconciled structured commerce fields

Filled the blank USD price fields with $19 and retained the 340 g package corroborated by two exact catalog records.

Separated flavor snapshots

Kept Apple + Raw Sugar as the live official structured notes. Cherrybook's later raw sugar, cocoa, and golden raisin snapshot is documented as alternate catalog context rather than merged into the same tasting record.

Kept farm data out of the lot field

Did not convert the farm-wide 1,100–1,450 m range into a lot-specific scalar elevation because the exact release sources do not identify where within that range this lot grew.

What was added?

Structured $19 USD price, refreshed sold-out verification, corrected source URL, profile disclosure, versioned flavor documentation, and explicit score provenance.

What wasn't added?

No lot-specific elevation, harvest, fermentation protocol, drying detail, conventional roast level, formal grade, owner tasting, original score, or public-sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The commerce fields now agree with the exact listing while farm-level context, alternate catalog notes, and roaster-level reputation remain separated from exact-lot and owner-tasting data.

What you might taste

The live roaster page lists Apple + Raw Sugar. Cherrybook's later exact catalog snapshot lists raw sugar, cocoa, and golden raisin. Neither is our tasting.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-02) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Cherrybook's exact catalog record was used for catalog corroboration only. Its index is derived from roaster-level YouTube and Reddit signals plus disclosure depth, not exact-release tasting reviews. Historical reviews of other Fazenda Sertão crops were excluded.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
