Why some details are blank
  • farm idKlatch lists Small Holder Farmers rather than a named farm with an exact identity; the prior generic farm link was removed.
  • producer idKlatch lists Small Holder Farmers rather than a named person or producer organization; the prior generic producer link was removed.
  • altitude mThe primary exact page describes a high-altitude plateau but gives no numeric lot elevation; a third-party catalog's 1,250 m value is not promoted without primary support.

From the producer

Klatch attributes the lot generically to smallholder farmers around Popayán. Because the exact farms, people and producer organization are not named, the source wording is retained as attribution without linking the coffee to a specific farm or producer entity.

From the roaster

Klatch presents this as a bright, sweet green coffee whose roast profile combines molasses and brown sugar with layered tropical fruit, citrus, dark chocolate, and apple notes.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This is a currently available green-coffee lot rather than a roasted retail release. It documents a regional Caturra–Castillo–Colombia washed blend while keeping unnamed smallholder sourcing separate from exact farm and producer identities.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the live green-coffee offer

Confirmed the 200 g option at $6.25, add-to-cart availability, Popayán/Cauca origin, Caturra–Castillo–Colombia cultivars, washed process and Klatch's roast/cupping descriptors.

02
Removed unsupported entity links

Cleared the generic Small Holder Farmers farm and producer relationships because the exact page names neither a farm nor a producer organization. The source wording remains in the listed attribution fields.

03
Protected the unroasted identity

Kept roast level empty and treated Klatch's flavor language as a possible profile after roasting, not as a finished roast or a Who Makes the Best Coffee tasting.

04
Excluded non-independent ratings

The exact seller page shows two incentivized, seller-hosted customer reviews. They were documented but not counted as independent public sentiment or converted into a rating.

What was added?

Structured $6.25 / 200 g price, current availability, clearer regional-lot provenance and a transparent sentiment-exclusion note.

What wasn't added?

No named farm or producer, single elevation, cultivar percentages, fermentation protocol, drying method, roast level, original tasting score or public-sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

Generic regional smallholder profiles are useful context but do not establish the exact identity required for a farm or producer relationship.

What you might taste

After roasting, Klatch reports molasses, brown sugar, lychee, lime, tangerine, dark chocolate, kiwi and Fuji apple, with smooth body and lively acidity.

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 2026-11-09) 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

The exact Klatch page contains two seller-hosted reviews collected through store invitations, with rewards for future purchases; these were excluded under the independent-source rule. Catalog mirrors and the separately roasted Popayán product were also excluded. No numeric public-sentiment rating was calculated.
