Why some details are blank
  • farmThe current exact page says eight neighboring farmers but does not name their farms. The six named farms/farmers in Intelligentsia's July 10, 2024 story belong to an earlier release composition and were not carried forward.
  • altitude mIntelligentsia publishes a 1,650–1,950 m range for Coopedota members generally, not for this exact eight-farmer lot.
  • harvestDecember–January is Coopedota-wide peak-harvest context; the exact current release does not publish a crop year or harvest window.
  • fermentationHoney processing is verified, but fermentation duration and vessel are not disclosed.
  • drying methodPulp retention during drying is stated, but the exact release does not publish drying surface or duration.
  • gradeNo exact-release source publishes a formal green-coffee grade.
  • roast levelThe exact listing does not publish a conventional light-to-dark roast category.
  • public sentimentNo independent exact-release tasting review or rating with a transparent method and source count qualified.

From the producer

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.

From the roaster

The current exact product page identifies eight neighboring Dota farmers, Caturra and Catuaí, honey processing, Coopedota and a caramel-plus-stone-fruit flavor profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A cooperative-selected multi-farm Dota lot with transparent cultivar composition and honey processing at Coopedota’s carbon-neutral mill.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Commerce fields reconciled

Recorded the official $23 price, Cherrybook-corroborated 340-gram bag, and sold-out status.

02
Cooperative boundary preserved

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.

03
Evidence snapshots separated

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.

What was added?

Structured $23 USD, 340 g, sold-out availability, refreshed source provenance, and explicit exact-lot gaps.

What wasn't added?

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.

Why it matters

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.

What you might taste

Caramel and stone fruit with lasting, complex sweetness, according to the current exact Intelligentsia page.

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 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.

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.
