Why some details are blank

region idThe exact page identifies Oaxaca but no narrower growing area; the existing Sierra Mazateca and Sierra Sur records cannot be assigned without evidence.
farm idCEPCO is a cooperative, and the exact release does not identify an individual farm.
individual producerThe release attributes the lot to smallholder CEPCO members without naming individual growers.
bag size gThe exact product page exposes a size selector but no verifiable package weight.
process idThe exact product page does not disclose the processing method.
altitude mThe exact product page does not publish lot-specific elevation.
harvestThe exact product page does not publish a harvest window or crop year.
fermentationNo lot-specific fermentation protocol is disclosed.
drying methodNo lot-specific drying method is disclosed.
roast levelThe primary exact release does not publish a conventional roast level; a secondary catalog’s Light label was not treated as sufficient primary evidence.
public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting review with a transparent rating method was verified.

From the producer

The coffee is grown by smallholder farmers who are members of the CEPCO cooperative, an organization that has partnered with the roaster since 2002.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia has worked for over two decades to elevate the perception of Oaxacan coffee, moving beyond its historical reputation as a commodity-grade product to showcase high-quality, single-origin offerings.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This coffee represents the first smallholder Geisha lot sourced by the roaster from members of the CEPCO cooperative in Oaxaca, marking a milestone in their long-term partnership.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Verified the producer structure

Confirmed the lot comes from smallholder members of CEPCO and retained the cooperative as producer without inventing an individual farm or farmer.

Verified the separated variety

Confirmed this was Intelligentsia’s first separated smallholder Geisha lot from CEPCO members.

Corrected structured commerce fields

Added the exact $26 USD price and refreshed the sold-out status.

Protected evidence limits

Did not assign either existing Sierra Mazateca or Sierra Sur records, because the exact page identifies Oaxaca but no narrower growing area; process, elevation, harvest, drying, package weight, and roast level also remain unresolved.

What was added?

Verified $26 USD price, current sold-out status, and state-level Oaxaca context.

What wasn't added?

No farm, individual grower, narrower region, process, elevation, harvest, fermentation, drying, package weight, roast level, roast date, owner score, or public-sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The record now reflects the exact release’s commerce and origin facts while keeping a cooperative member lot distinct from a named estate.

What you might taste

Apple and raw sugar, 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 2026-10-28) 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

An exact independent catalog entry exists but provides no user review or transparent tasting score. Cherrybook’s catalog/index data, unrelated Oaxaca Geishas from other roasters, and general roaster commentary were excluded.
