From the producer

Leonardo Henao produced this Gesha at El Jardín in Santa Bárbara, Antioquia. His earlier Los Palomos Chiroso won the 2020 Colombia Cup of Excellence; Onyx reports that he sold that farm in 2022 and acquired El Jardín in 2024.

From the roaster

Onyx Coffee Lab is a specialty coffee roaster that prioritizes quality, transparency, and accountability. They focus on sourcing unique micro-lots and fostering direct relationships with producers to highlight exceptional coffee varieties.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

An anaerobic-washed Gesha from Leonardo Henao's El Jardín in Santa Bárbara, Antioquia. Onyx documents the lot at 1,800 meters with approximately 20 days of drying on raised beds and patios and nectarine, white-flower, blackberry and honey notes.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Connected the verified region

Linked the existing Antioquia region record; no new geography, farm, producer, or variety entity was created.

02
Completed the exact-lot narrative

Added evidence-backed sections for Henao, El Jardín, Gesha, 36-hour anaerobic-washed processing, approximately 20 days of drying on raised beds and patios, roast context, cup direction, and brewing.

03
Removed an unsupported package claim

Cleared the 57 g bag size because it could not be verified from an authoritative exact-release source.

04
Separated scores

Kept Onyx’s first-party 87 transparency cup score distinct from both owner tasting and independent public sentiment.

What was added?

Antioquia relationship, four editorial sections, exact filter guide, refreshed availability, verified drying duration and explicit evidence boundaries.

What wasn't added?

No package size, retail price, owner tasting, site score, or independent sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now distinguishes verified lot facts, roaster claims, first-party transparency data, and unresolved fields.

What you might taste

Onyx describes nectarine, white flower, blackberry, and honey.

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 2026-10-26) 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

Beans with Beanie and TheBeanGeek corroborate the exact release but show no ratings or written reviews. Cherrybook's 86 is explicitly an evidence-of-quality index using broader signals, not a cup score, and was excluded. Onyx's first-party 87 cup score remains separate from public sentiment and the site's original tasting fields.
