From the producer

Benjamin Paz is a producer, mill operator, exporter, and advocate based in Santa Bárbara. This exact SL28 release was grown and processed at his La Salsa farm.

From the roaster

Onyx Coffee Lab highlights this coffee for its combination of East African-style brightness and the characteristic sweetness found in Honduran coffees from the Santa Barbara region.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This lot shows the Kenyan SL28 variety through La Salsa's Honduran terroir and a clearly documented dry-fermented washed process.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Selective picking and depulping

Ripe cherries were selectively hand-picked, then depulped.

02
Dry fermentation and washing

The depulped coffee was fermented dry for 24 hours, then washed in channels.

03
Raised-bed drying

The washed coffee dried for approximately 15 days on raised beds.

What was added?

No added ingredient is identified in the exact-release sources.

What wasn't added?

No fruit or post-roast flavoring is disclosed.

Why it matters

Onyx calls the release Dry Washed. The documented steps fit a traditional washed process with dry fermentation before washing.

What you might taste

Orange, black tea, raisin, and a juicy texture.

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.

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.
