Why some details are blank
  • HARVEST YEAROnyx lists February as the harvest season but does not disclose the crop year.
  • FERMENTATIONThe exact page confirms washed processing but gives no lot-specific fermentation duration.
  • RETAIL PRICE AND PACKAGEThe exact current page exposes no usable retail price; an independent annual listing has different descriptors and may be an earlier release.
  • STRUCTURED ROASTOnyx calls this Ultra Light, which is not represented by the site’s current roast enum.
  • PUBLIC SENTIMENTNo qualifying independent review or rating was found for the exact -26 release.

From the producer

Jorge Raul Rivera owns and operates Finca Santa Rosa in Chalatenango. Onyx describes a long-standing relationship and says the farm separates coffees into individual picking-and-processing day lots before final selection.

From the roaster

Onyx Coffee Lab is a highly awarded US-based roaster known for its commitment to transparency, direct trade partnerships, and precise roasting techniques.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Finca Santa Rosa is an established Onyx relationship whose Pacamara lots are separated by production day; this release documents a washed, high-elevation expression with unusually clear roast and drying metadata.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
ORIGIN LINKED

Connected the existing Chalatenango record and retained the verified farm and producer relationships.

02
LOT FACTS ADDED

Added 1,650 m, February harvest season, Pacamara, washed processing, and raised-bed drying.

03
ROAST BOUNDED

Recorded Ultra Light and Agtron 132 in editorial copy without forcing an unsupported structured roast value.

04
RELEASES KEPT DISTINCT

Did not merge an older independent annual listing whose descriptors differ from the current -26 page.

What was added?

Chalatenango, 1,650 m altitude, February harvest season, exact Pacamara/washed identity, raised-bed drying, roast evidence, and current roaster descriptors.

What wasn't added?

No crop year, lot-specific fermentation duration, retail price/package, public rating, or house score.

Why it matters

The page now distinguishes current exact-release facts from older annual Santa Rosa listings.

What you might taste

Roaster-listed white grape, plum, rose, and milk chocolate.

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 2026-10-22) 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: exact-title and exact-slug search across the roaster and independent retailer catalogs. Onyx states that this offering has no reviews. The independent Santa Rosa listing appears to be an earlier annual release with different descriptors, so it was not treated as sentiment for the -26 lot.

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.
