From the producer

Unnamed family farmers in three villages around Planadas grew this regional lot through the El Paraíso project; In-Conexus is identified as the exporter and project partner, not as an individual producer or farm.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia’s current exact page identifies Planadas, three villages, the El Paraíso project and exporter In-Conexus, and lists a Caramel + Stone Fruit profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A region-led Intelligentsia release from Tolima with an archived roaster flavor profile, while lot-level traceability remains undisclosed.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Filled verified commerce fields

Added the current exact $22 USD price, retained the exact catalog’s 340 g package, and refreshed sold-out verification.

02
Refined the origin

Added Planadas as the town/municipality and retained the existing Tolima region relationship.

03
Corrected unsupported grading

Replaced the inferred “Specialty” grade with “Not specified” because no exact source publishes a formal green-coffee or cupping grade.

04
Preserved traceability limits

Kept farm, individual producer, cultivar, process, elevation, and harvest unlinked because the exact release does not disclose them; In-Conexus remains described as exporter/project partner.

What was added?

$22 structured price, USD currency, Planadas town, refreshed availability, producer-group context, explicit score provenance, and updated fact-check status.

What wasn't added?

No farm, individual grower, producer relationship, variety, process, altitude, harvest, fermentation, drying method, conventional roast level, roast date, formal grade, owner score, or public sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile now captures exact commerce and municipal origin facts while avoiding a false grade and preventing regional or older-release information from becoming lot-level claims.

What you might taste

The current roaster page lists caramel and stone fruit. An older exact catalog iteration records plum, orange, and dried cherry; the two profiles remain separate.

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 2026-10-31) 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 product page has no ratings or written reviews. Cherrybook’s 60 is an evidence-of-quality and coverage index, not a cup score, and its 72/100 Reddit signal concerns Intelligentsia generally. Regional Tolima reviews, other roasters, sellers, directories, and older or different releases were excluded.
