Why some details are blank
  • harvest year and exact dateOnyx publishes March as the harvest month but not a crop year or precise picking date for this release.
  • formal gradeThe exact sources reviewed do not publish a formal green-coffee grade for this release.
  • public sentimentNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting score or consumer rating was found; directory and roaster-level indices were kept separate.
  • owner reviewNo owner tasting observations, approval, purchase record, or score are present, so the profile remains not yet reviewed by us.

From the producer

Elida Estate is a master-farming operation in Boquete, Panama, that has consistently produced award-winning coffees, including multiple Best of Panama titles.

From the roaster

Onyx Coffee Lab highlights this coffee as a legendary example of washed Gesha, showcasing the exceptional farming standards of the Lamastus family.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A 154-pound Elida Estate microlot from the Aguacate plot, for which Onyx publishes a 90-point green-coffee sensory score. That score is Onyx’s sourcing-quality assessment—not an owner review or independent public rating.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01

03

04

What was added?

No adjunct, inoculant, or flavoring is disclosed in the exact Onyx process description.

What wasn't added?

No crop year, precise picking date, formal grade, owner tasting result, or independent exact-release sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The documented depulping, short dry fermentation, channel washing, and raised-bed drying distinguish this traditional washed lot from similarly named natural and anaerobic Elida releases.

What you might taste

Onyx reports jasmine, blood orange, and raw sugar; these are roaster notes, not owner tasting observations.

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 2026-11-06) 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

Cherrybook’s 66 CBI is an evidence index, not a cup score, and its three cited Reddit contributions concern Onyx or other coffees rather than this release. TheBeanGeek has no visible submitted rating. Different roasters, processes, and releases were excluded.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

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.
