From the producer

Nicolás Chilcón Tocto grows Bourbon and Caturra at La Conquista in Cajamarca, Peru.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia describes this as a washed Bourbon-and-Caturra blend sourced with Origin Coffee Lab, its Cajamarca sourcing partner since 2016, with Apple + Raw Sugar in the cup.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A producer- and farm-specific Cajamarca lot with verified Bourbon/Caturra composition, direct roaster flavor notes, and one independently published exact-coffee rating.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Matched the exact release

Verified the archived Intelligentsia product page and the independent Coffee Roast profile.

02
Preserved the two-variety identity

Kept Bourbon and Caturra in structured prose because the coffee schema supports only one variety relationship.

03
Separated public sentiment

Retained one exact-product independent rating as a clearly labeled 90/100 historical public signal, not an original site score.

What was added?

Structured release, producer, farm, variety, process, availability, and independent-sentiment sections; light-roast classification from the exact independent listing.

What wasn't added?

No owner tasting, verdict, score, altitude, fermentation, drying method, harvest, package weight, or formal green grade was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now distinguishes verified roaster specifications from the single independent public rating and from absent owner tasting data.

What you might taste

Intelligentsia reports apple and raw sugar; the independent reviewer reported fruity sweetness, juicy grape, red apple, and caramel.

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
