Why some details are blank
  • gradeThe exact official page does not publish a formal green-coffee or cupping grade; “Specialty” was removed rather than inferred.
  • altitude mThe official page calls Las Cruces high elevation but publishes no numeric elevation for this release.
  • process idThe exact official and independent catalog pages do not disclose a processing method.
  • fermentationNo exact-release fermentation protocol or duration is published.
  • drying methodNo exact-release drying surface, duration, or endpoint is published.
  • harvestNeither exact source identifies a harvest or crop year.
  • roast levelThe exact page does not map Intelligentsia’s profile to a conventional light, medium, or dark roast label.
  • release chronologyA July 2026 catalog snapshot records different tasting notes, but no harvest identifier proves whether it is the same release iteration as the current page.

From the producer

Yolanda María Gómez is a coffee producer who returned to her family's one-hectare plot, Las Cruces, in Nariño after a career in the city, motivated by her daughter Julieth's professional involvement in coffee cupping.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia Coffee is a specialty roaster that sources this specific lot from the Las Cruces farm, highlighting the producer's commitment to quality and her family's multi-generational connection to coffee farming.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee represents the work of three generations of women, with producer Yolanda María Gómez returning to her family land to cultivate high-quality varieties inspired by her daughter's expertise in the specialty coffee industry.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact producer and farm

Confirmed Yolanda María Gómez, the one-hectare Las Cruces farm, El Arenal, San Pedro de Cartago, and Nariño.

02
Kept Caturra Chiroso exact

Retained the exact variety relationship while preserving Intelligentsia’s caveat that its precise origin and genetic makeup remain undefined.

03
Reconciled commerce metadata

Added the live $31 price, verified sold-out status, and retained the catalog-supported 12 oz (340 g) format; the catalog’s duplicate $31 five-pound entry was excluded as malformed.

04
Separated sensory snapshots

Kept the current official Caramel + Stone Fruit profile distinct from the July 13, 2026 Pink Lemonade, Red Grape, and Plum catalog snapshot because no harvest identifier establishes continuity.

What was added?

Verified producer, farm, locality, variety, price, 12 oz package, availability, and current official sensory profile.

What wasn't added?

No unsupported elevation, process, fermentation, drying method, harvest year, conventional roast label, formal grade, five-pound price, or public score.

Why it matters

The product handle appears to have carried more than one sensory profile. Keeping the current official profile separate avoids merging unidentified release iterations or malformed catalog data.

What you might taste

Intelligentsia currently groups the profile as Caramel + Stone Fruit.
