From the producer

Elida Estate is a high-altitude farm located in Boquete, Panama, at the foot of the Baru Volcano. Managed by the Lamastus family, the estate is recognized for its master farming techniques and consistent success in prestigious coffee competitions.

From the roaster

Onyx Coffee Lab is a roaster and cafe operator based in Arkansas that focuses on sourcing high-quality, transparently traded coffees. They are known for their detailed approach to roasting and providing extensive data on their product profiles.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This release pairs Elida Estate’s high-elevation Gesha with a documented 36-hour limited-oxygen natural process. Onyx’s structured process fields say anaerobic natural even though one abstract sentence incorrectly calls it washed.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Limited-oxygen fermentation

Whole cherry fermented for 36 hours under limited oxygen.

Natural drying

The fruit dried for approximately 20 days on raised beds.

What was added?

Linked Boquete; corrected elevation from 1,850 to 1,900 m; added March harvest-month context, complete anaerobic-natural protocol, $30/57 g option, and four editorial sections.

What wasn't added?

No harvest year, formal green grade, owner score, roaster cup score, or independent sentiment rating was added.

Why it matters

The structured process evidence resolves the main profile while preserving the source’s internal washed-versus-anaerobic wording conflict.

What you might taste

Onyx lists violet, chocolate bonbon, hibiscus, and creamy.

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.
