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.
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.
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.

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.
What the internet is saying about this coffee

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.
