From the producer

The coffee is produced by smallholder farmers associated with the Cooperativa Agraria Norandino, an organization that supports agricultural partners with technical and commercial services.

From the roaster

Onyx Coffee Lab is a highly awarded roaster based in Arkansas, known for its commitment to sustainable sourcing and transparent partnerships with producers across the globe.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This decaf espresso is sourced from the highlands of Cajamarca, highlighting the traditional smallholder production methods of the region. It is designed to provide a balanced and approachable cup with clear structure.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Matched the current retail release

Verified the current Onyx listing against three independent exact-product catalogs.

02
Connected the origin

Linked the existing Cajamarca region and retained the existing Norandino cooperative producer record.

03
Separated historical metadata

Kept Onyx’s older brew-guide archive profile out of the current product record because its roast and tasting notes differ.

What was added?

Four editorial sections, Cajamarca relation, verified $70/2 lb format, current availability date, and explicit archive-versus-current evidence boundary.

What wasn't added?

No individual farm, variety, altitude, harvest, fermentation, drying method, decaffeination method, definitive roast level, formal green grade, owner tasting, verdict, score, or public sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now identifies the cooperative and region while preventing an older release profile from contaminating the current product data.

What you might taste

Onyx’s current listing reports chocolate, citrus, and soft stone-fruit sweetness.

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.
