From the producer

Brayan Smith is a third-generation Pitalito producer refining agronomic practices and introducing expressive cultivars while continuing his family’s coffee-growing work.

From the roaster

Onyx’s brew guide classifies the coffee as Colombia / Washed / Moderate and provides both filter and espresso recipes.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A washed Huila Gesha whose moderate roast is designed to retain floral character and sweetness while remaining approachable.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Release identification

Matched Brayan Smith, Pitalito, Huila, Gesha, and the 1,500–1,800 m range; excluded secondary-only retail price and package size.

02
Process boundary

Confirmed Washed classification while leaving unpublished fermentation and drying details blank.

03
Brewing guidance

Captured Onyx’s exact filter and espresso recipes without converting them into an original tasting score.

What was added?

No processing additives are documented by the exact sources.

What wasn't added?

No farm, inoculant, fruit addition, or drying method was inferred.

Why it matters

The correction prevents a range from being presented as a false point elevation and keeps an unrelated farm from entering the traceability chain.

What you might taste

Orange blossom, caramel, Fuji apple, and a silky texture, according to 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 2026-10-10) 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

Method: a source had to match this exact Onyx release and provide firsthand tasting evidence or a transparent coffee-level score. Cherrybook’s 58 is explicitly a sparse evidence-of-quality index with one of seven signals, not a cup score. Merchant/catalog listings and other Brayan Smith coffees were excluded.
