From the producer

Higinio and Aura Gómez established Finca Las Moritas in 1988 in San Antonio La Paz, El Progreso, within the Sierra de las Minas.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia's archived exact listing presents a washed, medium-roasted Bourbon with milk chocolate, orange, and toffee.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A direct correction of an erroneous Santa Rosa/Vladimir Solares assignment to the documented Gómez family farm in El Progreso.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Producer contradiction corrected

Removed the unrelated Vladimir Solares/Santa Rosa attribution and connected the existing Higinio and Aura Gómez producer record already tied to Finca Las Moritas.

02
Location reconciled

Connected El Progreso and specified San Antonio La Paz in the Sierra de las Minas.

03
Exact listing restored

Added the archived washed Bourbon, medium roast, milk chocolate/orange/toffee notes, $27 price, 340 g format, and sold-out state.

What was added?

Verified farm, producers, El Progreso location, Bourbon, washed process, medium roast, exact listing descriptors, price, package, and sold-out status.

What wasn't added?

No Santa Rosa origin, Vladimir Solares relationship, farm-wide elevation, owner tasting score, or public sentiment score was retained or invented.

Why it matters

The prior record linked the right farm to the wrong producer and department, creating a false provenance chain.

What you might taste

The exact listing records milk chocolate, orange, and toffee.

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 2026-10-25) 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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

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.
