Why some details are blank
  • farm idThe exact product evidence says only 'family farm' and does not identify which Caballero farm produced this release.
  • altitude mExact-release sources publish a 1,600–1,700 m range; no midpoint was invented.
  • roast levelIntelligentsia uses its proprietary 'Comforting' label, which was not translated into the schema’s conventional roast-level scale.
  • fermentationThe exact release documents washed processing and raised-bed drying but does not publish fermentation duration, vessel or atmosphere.
  • public sentiment ratingNo independent exact-release tasting score was verified; Cherrybook’s index uses roaster-level signals and was excluded.

From the producer

Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera are third-generation Honduran coffee producers whose family partnership with Intelligentsia dates to 2003.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia calls this its first presentation of Batian grown in Honduras and labels the roast profile “Comforting.”

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This release gives the Kenya-bred Batian variety a distinct Honduran expression. World Coffee Research documents Batian as a high-yielding, very-large-bean cultivar with very good high-altitude quality potential, intermediate leaf-rust resistance, and coffee-berry-disease resistance.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Commerce reconciliation

Filled the structured $25 USD price for the exact 198 g release and reverified sold-out status on November 2, 2026.

02
Processing

Retained washed processing and raised-bed drying from the exact release evidence.

03
Growing context

Retained Chinacla, La Paz and the published 1,600–1,700 m range without inventing a scalar midpoint.

04
Evidence boundary

Kept the unidentified 'family farm,' fermentation protocol and conventional roast level unresolved. Excluded Cherrybook's composite roaster-level index from exact-coffee sentiment.

What was added?

Structured $25 USD price, refreshed sold-out verification, explicit score provenance and current exact-catalog evidence.

What wasn't added?

No farm relation, scalar altitude, fermentation detail, conventional roast level, public sentiment score or original tasting fields were added.

Why it matters

The production record now matches its own editorial text and the exact archived catalog without treating roaster-level reputation signals as a cup rating.

What you might taste

Magnolia, baking spices and apple, according to 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 2026-11-02) 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 catalog page reports a 74 composite index, but its disclosed inputs are roaster-level YouTube, Reddit, disclosure and press signals, not exact-coffee tasting ratings. Bean Pigeon is a marketplace catalog. Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster and other-roaster Batian sources 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.
