Why some details are blank
  • process idNot disclosed for this exact Intelligentsia release.
  • altitude mNot disclosed for this exact Intelligentsia release; values from other Juan Martín Striped Red Bourbon roasters were excluded.
  • fermentationNot disclosed for this exact Intelligentsia release.
  • drying methodNot disclosed for this exact Intelligentsia release.
  • harvestNot disclosed for this exact Intelligentsia release.
  • bag size gThe official listing offered multiple sizes, including 12 oz and 5 lb; one scalar value would imply a single format. Cherrybook preserves the 340 g option only.
  • gradeNo formal green-coffee or cupping grade is published for this exact release.
  • roast levelThe exact release does not publish a conventional roast-level label.
  • public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting review was found; Cherrybook's index uses roaster-level and disclosure signals.

Every link we could verify, traced in one place. Follow the chain as far as it goes — when the industry doesn't disclose a link, we say so instead of guessing.

From the producer

Banexport owns and operates Finca Juan Martín as an experimental farm in Sotará, Cauca, where farmer-selected varieties and post-harvest methods are evaluated.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia lists blackberry, plum, and navel orange. No generic roast level was inferred.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A farmer-selected, striped-cherry Red Bourbon field variant documented by Intelligentsia, with scientific uncertainty preserved.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact release

The live Intelligentsia page confirms the $31 price and sold-out status.

02
Reconciled structured commerce fields

Filled the previously blank USD price fields with $31 while leaving bag_size_g blank because the official listing offered multiple formats.

03
Preserved farm and cultivar evidence

Kept Banexport, Finca Juan Martín, Sotará, and the farmer-selected orange-striped Red Bourbon identity without overstating unresolved genetics.

04
Separated catalog evidence from sentiment

Used Cherrybook to corroborate the 340 g option and catalog facts, but excluded its roaster-level index from exact-coffee public sentiment.

What was added?

Structured $31 USD price, refreshed sold-out verification, current research dates, clearer package ambiguity, and explicit score provenance.

What wasn't added?

No single bag size, process, fermentation, drying, lot elevation, harvest, formal grade, conventional roast label, owner tasting, approval, verdict, review date, house score, or public-sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now aligns its structured price with the exact listing while keeping multi-size availability and undisclosed production details explicit.

What you might taste

Blackberry, plum, and navel orange according to Intelligentsia; these are roaster notes, not our tasting.

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

Cherrybook's exact catalog page corroborates $31, a 340 g option, sold-out status, farm, variety, and roaster notes. Its index is built from roaster-level YouTube and Reddit signals plus disclosure depth, not exact-release tasting reviews. A 2026 Proud Mary coffee with the same farm and variety was excluded as a different roaster and release.

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.
