From the producer

Adrian Lasso is a coffee producer in Colombia known for cultivating high-quality, innovative varieties like Typica Mejorado.

From the roaster

The roaster highlights the Lasso family's thermal-shock processing of the Typica Mejorado variety, which accentuates tropical fruit notes and bright acidity.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Adrian Lasso’s Typica Mejorado undergoes a mixed-oxidation, four-day thermal-shock process at 1,800 meters. Onyx’s summary and detailed process disagree on whether drying used raised beds or patios, so the platform remains unresolved.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Mixed oxidation

Onyx describes four days of mixed-oxidation fermentation, including a 60-hour tank stage.

02
Pressurized inoculated stage

A further sealed, pressurized fermentation used inoculates; the page does not state this stage's exact duration.

03
Depulped and washed

The coffee was depulped and channel washed after fermentation.

04
Drying source conflict

Onyx's structured label says raised-bed dried, but its process narrative says roughly 16 days on patios.

What was added?

Onyx explicitly documents inoculates during the sealed-pressure fermentation stage.

What wasn't added?

The inoculate identity and second-stage duration are not published.

Why it matters

The multi-stage thermal-shock protocol is designed to intensify fruit character and acidity.

What you might taste

Passionfruit, mango candy, green apple, and cacao, as listed by Onyx.

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.

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.
