Why some details are blank

From the producer

Finca Juan Martín is owned and operated by Banexport as an experimental farm and innovation center in Sotará, Cauca.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia labels this release with its proprietary “Comforting” roast descriptor; no generic roast level was inferred.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A single-variety Bourbon Sidra release from Banexport’s Finca Juan Martín, preserving a traceable farm, producer, cultivar, and Cauca origin while leaving currently undisclosed post-harvest details unresolved.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Identity

Retained the verified Cauca, Finca Juan Martín, Banexport and Bourbon Sidra relationships.

02
Commerce reconciliation

Filled the structured $33 USD price for the exact 340 g release and reverified sold-out status on November 2, 2026.

03
Source-version boundary

Beans with Beanie’s July 13, 2026 exact snapshot reports washed processing and 2,050 m, while the current exact Cherrybook page leaves process and altitude blank. Both structured fields remain unresolved and the conflict is explicit.

04
Sentiment boundary

Excluded Cherrybook’s composite index and roaster-level Reddit signals because they are not exact-release tasting ratings.

What was added?

Structured $33 USD price, refreshed sold-out verification, current catalog evidence and a documented process/elevation source-version conflict.

What wasn't added?

No process, scalar elevation, harvest, fermentation duration, drying method, conventional roast level, public sentiment score or original tasting fields were added.

Why it matters

The record now matches its stable exact-release commerce evidence without converting an older catalog snapshot into uncontested current provenance.

What you might taste

Apple, red grape and dried dates, according to Intelligentsia.

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

Beans with Beanie’s exact listing reports no written reviews. Cherrybook’s index is explicitly an evidence-of-quality score assembled from sparse roaster transparency and roaster-level Reddit signals, not an exact-coffee cup score. Non-exact Juan Martín Sidra lots from other roasters were excluded.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
