From the producer

KUN (Koperative Umurego Nteko) supplied the member-grown coffee; Intelligentsia says women make up more than half of its membership and feature prominently on its board.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia identifies this as its second annual KUN/Busanze single-origin release and lists an Apple + Raw Sugar flavor profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A women-majority cooperative release: Intelligentsia says more than half of KUN’s members are women and women feature prominently on its board.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Identity check

Matched the exact Intelligentsia product and KUN cooperative wording.

02
Collision cleanup

Excluded technical details drawn from other Busanze source contexts.

What was added?

Exact price, size, sold-out status, apple/raw-sugar flavor profile and women-majority cooperative context.

What wasn't added?

No province, variety, process, altitude, harvest, fermentation, drying or roast level was assigned because the exact release does not publish them.

Why it matters

Keeps the KUN release distinct from unrelated Busanze station listings and lets only verified fields drive tags.

What you might taste

Apple and raw sugar, as listed by the roaster.

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.
