From the producer

The Alarcón Coronel family collectively works Finca La Palestina, a multigenerational group of parcels founded after José Alarcón and Zobeida Coronel moved to San José del Alto in 1976.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia has maintained a direct trade partnership with the Alarcón Coronel family since 2022, highlighting the evolving delicate fruity and floral characteristics of their Geisha crop.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This was Finca La Palestina's second Geisha harvest and Intelligentsia's second year buying the lot, documenting the early evolution of the family's Geisha program.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Disclosure boundary

The exact Intelligentsia product page does not state this release's depulping, fermentation, washing, or drying protocol.

What was added?

Not disclosed for this exact release.

What wasn't added?

Not disclosed for this exact release.

Why it matters

Processing can materially change a Geisha's cup profile, so methods documented for other La Palestina lots were not copied onto this release.

What you might taste

Intelligentsia describes delicate fruity sweetness and floral undertones; an exact catalog capture lists lemongrass, blueberry, and hibiscus.

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 2026-10-25) 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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review 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.
