From the producer

Coopedota is the Dota farmer cooperative behind this community lot. It was established in 1960 and has partnered with Intelligentsia since 2005.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia sources this coffee as part of their long-term relationship with the Coopedota cooperative, aiming to provide a representative taste of the region through community-based lots.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The release is positioned as a regional taste of place rather than a single-farm or exotic-variety microlot.

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

Suggestions are selected from recently updated, published coffee profiles sharing documented origin, farm, producer, variety, process or tasting notes. This is a bounded discovery sample, not an exhaustive catalog ranking; availability is only a dated source observation.

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.
