Higinio and Aura Gómez established Finca Las Moritas in 1988 in San Antonio La Paz, El Progreso, within the Sierra de las Minas.
Intelligentsia presented this archived Bourbon lot as a single-origin espresso emphasizing sweetness, cleanliness, and complexity.
A long-running Intelligentsia partner farm whose name spans multiple releases and cultivars; this profile keeps the archived single-origin-espresso evidence separate from later Pacamara and third-party lots.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Connected the existing El Progreso region, Finca Las Moritas, and Higinio and Aura Gómez records.
Replaced tasting notes imported from a different roaster's Las Moritas coffee with Intelligentsia's archived clementine, plum, and toffee description.
Later Intelligentsia menus list Las Moritas Pacamara, while exact-product archive evidence for this SOE identifies Bourbon; those releases are not merged.
Verified San Antonio La Paz and El Progreso, the Gómez family and farm, washed Bourbon identity, archived 340 g format, $20 price, and Intelligentsia release notes.
No farm-wide altitude, later Pacamara specification, third-party roaster tasting notes, owner score, or public sentiment score was assigned to this archived release.
Las Moritas is reused across harvests and cultivars, so farm-level facts and later releases cannot safely fill every release-specific field.
Intelligentsia's archived release copy described sweet clementine, juicy plum, and rich toffee.

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 2026-10-25) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.
Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

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.
