Why some details are blank
  • process idThe current exact product page and exact catalog do not disclose a processing method; washed details from other Las Virginias or Caballero lots were not transferred.
  • altitude mThe exact page calls Las Virginias the family’s highest-elevation farm but gives no number. The 1,500–1,670 m range is family-wide across various farms.
  • harvestThe family-wide January–February peak is contextual; no harvest window or crop year is published for this exact release.
  • fermentationNo exact-release fermentation duration, vessel, atmosphere or inoculant is published.
  • drying methodNo exact-release drying surface, duration or endpoint is published.
  • roast levelThe official release provides no conventional roast level. Cherrybook’s Dark label is not clearly identified as a roaster-stated field, so it remains contextual.
  • public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting review or transparent public rating was found.

From the producer

The Caballero family team named by Intelligentsia includes Fabio and Sandra Isabel Caballero, their daughter Marysabel, and son-in-law Moisés Herrera.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia identifies this as a single-origin Geisha from Las Virginias and describes the flavor profile as chocolate and molasses.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The lot comes from a cool pine grove at Las Virginias, which Intelligentsia identifies as the family’s highest-elevation farm.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Commerce fields reconciled

Filled the previously blank structured $32 USD price, retained the exact-catalog 340 g package, and refreshed sold-out verification on 2026-11-02.

02
Identity retained

Preserved Las Virginias, the Caballero family, Marcala/La Paz and Geisha relationships supported by exact-release evidence.

03
Sensory versions separated

Kept the current official chocolate-and-molasses notes structured while documenting the catalog’s apple, dried-cherry and cola snapshot as an unresolved release-version difference.

04
Unsupported detail withheld

Did not assign family-wide elevation and harvest context, a process from another Las Virginias lot, a catalog-only roast mapping, or any public sentiment rating to this exact release.

What was added?

Structured $32 USD pricing, corrected 340 g audit language, current sold-out verification, and clearer exact-lot evidence boundaries.

What wasn't added?

No exact-lot process, numeric elevation, harvest, fermentation, drying method, conventional roast level, formal grade, owner tasting score, or public-sentiment rating.

Why it matters

The record now agrees internally on commerce data while keeping current official sensory notes separate from an earlier catalog snapshot and from broader Caballero-family context.

What you might taste

The current official release lists chocolate and molasses. Cherrybook preserves apple, dried cherry and cola as a separate exact-catalog snapshot.

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 is a catalog record, not an independent tasting review; its index explicitly incorporates roaster-wide Reddit and transparency signals and is not a cup score. Arosti lists the exact coffee and official notes without a rating. Other Las Virginias, Caballero Geisha and competition lots 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.
