Why some details are blank

decaffeination methodThe exact Onyx page identifies the coffee as decaf but does not name the removal method. Cherrybook's secondary sugarcane-EA claim was not treated as first-party confirmation.
drying methodThe exact page says both patio dried and approximately 15 days on raised beds.
page-content conflictA story section describes tangerine peels added during drying, conflicting with the exact red-fruit product abstract and dry-washed process block; tangerine is not assigned as structured release data.
added-fruit detailOnyx says red fruits were added but does not identify the exact fruits, quantities, preparation, or inoculation status.
fermentation vessel / conditionsThe exact release data gives 24 hours of dry fermentation but does not specify the vessel, oxygen regime, temperature, pH, or starter culture for this lot.
harvest year / roast dateOnyx gives a January harvest season but no crop year or bag-specific roast date.
public sentiment ratingOnly one qualifying independent qualitative tasting account was found; seller-hosted ratings were excluded.
owner tasting inputNo owner tasting notes, score, approval, verdict, or review date exist for this coffee.

From the producer

Sebastian Ramirez is a fourth-generation producer based in Quindio, Colombia, who operates the El Placer estates and is known for his experimental processing techniques.

From the roaster

Onyx identifies this as a Caturra microlot from Sebastián Ramírez at El Placer, co-fermented with red fruits and roasted to its Moderate profile (ground Agtron 125). The exact page gives 24 hours of dry fermentation and channel washing, conflicts on patio versus raised-bed drying, and includes an unrelated-looking tangerine-peel story.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A rare fruit-co-fermented decaf from Sebastián Ramírez combines a documented Caturra microlot, expressive strawberry-and-chocolate cup direction, and unusually detailed Onyx sourcing data. The exact page also contains material process conflicts, so the profile distinguishes confirmed release facts from possibly crossed-over copy.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Corrected the current offer

Replaced the stale statement that retail data was unavailable with Onyx's active $38 ten-ounce listing and refreshed availability.

Aligned the roast and recipes

Corrected the structured roast from Medium to Onyx's Moderate designation and added the exact espresso and filter starting recipes.

Preserved process conflicts

Retained the confirmed red-fruit co-ferment, 24-hour dry fermentation and channel washing while explicitly preserving the same-page raised-bed versus patio drying conflict and the incompatible tangerine-peel story.

Corrected sentiment provenance

Removed the editorial conversion of two retailer-hosted Kofio reviews into a public score. One independent exact-coffee tasting account remains and is reported qualitatively without a numerical rating.

What was added?

Current $38 ten-ounce availability, Moderate roast, exact filter and espresso recipes, current sourcing-transparency data, and one-source independent qualitative sentiment.

What wasn't added?

No exact red-fruit identities or quantities, fermentation vessel, decaffeination method, definitive drying method, harvest year, roast date, owner tasting, owner score, or numerical public-sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The revision fixes a commerce contradiction and prevents seller-hosted ratings or crossed-over product copy from being presented as independent exact-release evidence.

What you might taste

Onyx lists strawberry, milk chocolate, cane sugar, and banana. One independent historical account described a dessert-wine-like strawberry-and-cream cup with clotted-cream-and-jam complexity, but occasionally a less desirable candy-like character.

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.

What the sources say

Insufficient for consensus: one independent historical tasting account names this exact Onyx coffee.

What people love

The brewer described a clear strawberry-and-cream effect with dessert-wine character and, at its best, the complexity and tang of clotted cream and jam.

What people don't

Some cups were described as closer to Chupa Chups-style candy, which the brewer found less desirable.

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.
