Why some details are blank
  • processThe exact Intelligentsia page and exact independent catalog do not state a processing method; the previous washed assignment was removed.
  • altitudeIntelligentsia publishes 1,500–1,670 m across the family’s various farms, not an exact Las Virginias lot elevation.
  • harvestJanuary–February is broader Caballero-family farm context, not a verified exact-lot harvest.
  • gradeNo formal green grade is published for the exact release.
  • roast levelNo conventional exact-product roast category is published.
  • public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting score was verified; Cherrybook’s index is not a cup score.

From the producer

Intelligentsia credits the Caballero family team in Marcala: Fabio and Sandra Isabel Caballero, their daughter Marysabel Caballero, and son-in-law Moisés Herrera. The roaster describes the family as a direct-trade partner since 2003 on the exact product page; its broader Honduras profile dates the relationship to 2004.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia presents this as a single-origin Geisha from a cool pine grove at Las Virginias, the Caballero family’s highest-elevation farm, with a Chocolate + Molasses flavor profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This older 12-ounce release documents the Caballero family’s Geisha planting at Las Virginias without importing process, altitude, or sensory facts from later 7-ounce releases.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Offer reconciled

Added the exact $32 USD / 12 oz offer and refreshed sold-out status.

02
Relationships connected

Linked the existing Marcala region and Gesha variety records.

03
Unsupported fields removed

Cleared the washed-process and generic Specialty-grade claims and retained lot elevation as unknown.

04
Taste source separated

Added Chocolate and Molasses only as roaster-published descriptors, not owner tasting observations.

What was added?

Structured price, currency, region, variety, exact roaster descriptors, source-backed editorial sections, and current availability verification.

What wasn't added?

No process, exact altitude, harvest, formal grade, conventional roast level, public sentiment score, or owner tasting content.

Why it matters

The profile now reflects what the exact release actually publishes and no longer turns family-level context into lot-level facts.

What you might taste

Chocolate and molasses, as published by Intelligentsia.

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 2026-10-29) 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 has an exact product record but explicitly labels its 72 as an evidence-of-quality index, not a cup score; its discussion signals are largely roaster-wide and it reports missing buyer reviews and Cherrybook tastings. No independent exact-release tasting score 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.
