From the producer

Nilson López grew this release at Finca San Antonio in Buesaco. Intelligentsia identifies the López family as among Colombia's most decorated coffee-producing families.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia presents this as its third consecutive single-origin Buesaco release of the season and the third from the López family.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A clearly identified farm-and-producer release from Buesaco with a concise apple-and-raw-sugar profile.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01

02

What was added?

No added ingredients are established by the available exact-release sources.

What wasn't added?

No claim is made that fruit, flavorings, cultures, or other inputs were absent; the release-specific protocol is not published.

Why it matters

Washed is verified for this release, but that label alone does not establish the specific fermentation, water, or drying protocol.

What you might taste

Intelligentsia lists apple and raw sugar. Moccamaster's exact hands-on feature additionally describes citrus, cherry, plum, and a slightly sweet profile.
