From the producer

Miller Fabricio Hoyos is a smallholder farmer based in San Agustín, Huila, who works with the exporter In-Conexus to produce high-quality coffee lots.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia highlights Huila as a premier coffee-growing region and has maintained a collaborative relationship with local growers in San Agustín since 2016.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee marks the debut of producer Miller Fabricio Hoyos on the roaster's single-origin menu, sourced through a long-standing partnership in the San Agustín area.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact release

Confirmed Miller Fabricio Hoyos, Balceros farm, San Agustín/Huila, the In-Conexus relationship, $20 price, and sold-out status from the exact product page.

02
Reconciled the taste language

Stored Intelligentsia’s specific August 2023 launch notes—plum, orange marmalade, and red grape—while retaining Caramel + Stone Fruit as the archived page’s broader profile category.

03
Protected lot identity

Did not transfer cultivar, process, elevation, or drying details from other Balceros coffees involving different producers or separations.

04
Kept scoring boundaries intact

No owner score or public-sentiment rating was added because no qualifying independent exact-release tasting review was verified.

What was added?

Verified structured price, current sold-out status, and release-specific launch tasting notes.

What wasn't added?

No cultivar, process, elevation, harvest, fermentation, drying, package weight, roast level, roast date, owner score, or public-sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The structured record now reflects Intelligentsia’s most specific release language without importing specifications from other coffees sharing the Balceros farm name.

What you might taste

Plum, orange marmalade, and red grape in Intelligentsia’s launch announcement; the archived page groups the profile as Caramel + Stone Fruit.

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 2026-10-28) 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

The exact independent catalog has zero reviews. Cherrybook’s number is an evidence/index score rather than an exact-coffee tasting score; roaster-level material and other Balceros releases were excluded.
