Why some details are blank
  • ALTITUDENeither exact release source publishes a lot-level elevation; farm-level figures from other coffees were not copied.
  • HARVESTNo crop year or harvest window is published for this exact release.
  • FORMAL GRADESpecial Selection is a commercial release label, not a formal green-coffee grade; none is published.
  • ROAST LEVELThe exact primary page does not state a conventional roast category.
  • ROAST DATENo complete bag-specific roast date is published for this exact release.
  • PUBLIC SENTIMENT RATINGNo independent exact-release cup review qualified; Cherrybook's CBI is explicitly an evidence-of-quality index, not a cup score.

From the producer

Luiz Paulo Dias Pereira planted more than 30 exotic varieties across 80 hectares at Fazenda Santuário Sul and paired new genetics with experimental processing.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia released this as a 7 oz Special Selection with the broad flavor profile Apple + Raw Sugar.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A Panama-seed Gesha from an experimental Brazilian farm, combining a 72-hour anaerobic stage with controlled slow drying in the Blue House.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact identity

Retained the existing Fazenda Santuário Sul, Luiz Paulo Dias Pereira, Carmo de Minas and Gesha relationships from the exact Intelligentsia release.

02
Reconciled the retail fields

Entered the exact $20 / 7 oz sold-out offer already documented by the primary page and converted 7 oz to the existing 198 g package field.

03
Documented fermentation and drying

Preserved the roaster's 72-hour anaerobic fermentation and slow Blue House drying under light-reflective material.

04
Separated taste-source variants

Kept the live roaster page's dried-floral, resonant-sweetness, apple and raw-sugar direction separate from the listing-era rooibos, orange-marmalade and honey notes.

What was added?

Structured retail price and currency, refreshed availability, and clearer separation between the two exact-source tasting-note sets.

What wasn't added?

No lot elevation, crop year, formal grade, conventional roast level, roast date, owner score or outside cup score was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile now keeps its structured commerce fields consistent with the published narrative while separating lot facts, farm context and source-specific cup language.

What you might taste

The live Intelligentsia page emphasizes dried florals, resonant sweetness, apple and raw sugar. The exact catalog capture preserves rooibos, orange marmalade and honey as listing-era roaster notes.

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 2026-10-29) 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

Method: exact-release independent tasting sources only. The Intelligentsia page is primary but not independent; Cherrybook is an exact catalog whose 65 CBI is explicitly an evidence-of-quality index, not a cup score. General Intelligentsia discussion and other roasters' Santuário Sul Gesha releases were excluded.
