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.

Coopedota is a Dota farmer cooperative founded in 1960. Intelligentsia says its carbon-neutral mill processed this lot and that the Direct Trade partnership began in 2005; the eight contributing farms are not individually named on the current exact product page.
The current exact product page identifies eight neighboring Dota farmers, Caturra and Catuaí, honey processing, Coopedota and a caramel-plus-stone-fruit flavor profile.
A cooperative-selected multi-farm Dota lot with transparent cultivar composition and honey processing at Coopedota’s carbon-neutral mill.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Recorded the official $23 price, Cherrybook-corroborated 340-gram bag, and sold-out status.
Kept Coopedota as cooperative/mill rather than inventing a farm and retained the current eight-farmer composition without importing names from the earlier six-farm release.
Kept the current caramel/stone-fruit profile separate from the July 2024 dried-apricot/Meyer-lemon/baked-apple release and excluded Cherrybook's roaster-level index from cup scoring.
Structured $23 USD, 340 g, sold-out availability, refreshed source provenance, and explicit exact-lot gaps.
No individual current farms, exact-lot elevation, harvest, fermentation protocol, drying method, formal grade, conventional roast level, owner tasting, owner score, or public sentiment rating was inferred.
The page now exposes verified commerce facts while maintaining an accurate distinction between Coopedota, the current eight-farmer lot, and the earlier six-farm release.
Caramel and stone fruit with lasting, complex sweetness, according to the current exact Intelligentsia page.

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.
What the internet is saying about this coffee
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.
Cherrybook's exact page supplies catalog corroboration only. Its index is explicitly not a cup score and uses general Intelligentsia Reddit sentiment plus disclosure signals; it reports no Coffee Review, YouTube review, on-shop rating, or Cherrybook rating for this release. Catalog, generic-roaster, earlier-release, and different-coffee signals were excluded.

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.
