From the producer

The exact product page identifies Finca El Credo and Buesaco but does not name an individual producer; none was invented.

From the roaster

This coffee serves as the first release of the season from Nariño, sourced from the Buesaco municipality where the roaster has maintained a direct trade relationship for over a decade.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Finca El Credo in Buesaco represents the longest-running sourcing project for Intelligentsia in Colombia, with a partnership that has been active since 2010. This coffee is frequently featured as the roaster's first seasonal release from the Nariño region.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Location match

Connected the existing Nariño record and retained Buesaco as the town.

02
Identity guardrail

Did not create an unnamed producer.

What was added?

Nariño and Buesaco location, exact $23/12 oz listing, sold-out status, sourcing history and caramel/stone-fruit profile.

What wasn't added?

No producer, variety, altitude, process, harvest, fermentation, drying or roast level was inferred.

Why it matters

The verified Nariño relationship now drives the region tag while undisclosed producer and processing fields remain honest.

What you might taste

Caramel and stone fruit, as listed by the roaster.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

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