From the producer

Jamison Savage and his team manage Iris Estate in Volcán, a shade-grown, high-elevation farm established in 2017 on highly organic volcanic soils.

From the roaster

Onyx archives this Echelon Ascension Series coffee as a light, culture-inoculated washed Gesha and provides a dedicated Origami/Kalita Wave 185 recipe for its white-peach, lilac, clementine, and meringue profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This is a discrete Ascension Series release, not Onyx’s standard Iris Estate Gesha. Its culture-inoculated washed label, flavor notes, recipe, and $100/10 oz offer are documented under the exact Ascension Series name.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact release

Matched the Ascension Series name, Gesha variety, culture-inoculated washed process, light roast, tasting notes, and recipe to Onyx’s archive.

02
Confirmed the archived offer

Matched an exact-title catalog record showing a $100, 10 oz package and sold-out status; 10 oz is stored as 283.5 g.

03
Kept release boundaries intact

Retained the existing Iris Estate and Jamison Savage relationships while excluding altitude, harvest, drying, pricing, and tasting facts from other Onyx Iris Estate releases.

04
Audited independent coverage

No qualifying independent tasting review or rating was found for this exact Ascension Series release, so public sentiment remains unscored.

What was added?

Exact-release offer size and price, current sold-out verification, clearer Echelon context, and a refreshed source and sentiment audit.

What wasn't added?

No release-specific elevation, harvest, inoculant identity, fermentation duration, vessel conditions, drying method, roast date, owner score, tasting observation, or public sentiment rating was invented.

Why it matters

The page now documents the exact Ascension Series offer while keeping it separate from Onyx’s differently processed and differently described Iris Estate Gesha releases.

What you might taste

White peach, lilac, clementine, and meringue, according to Onyx; these are roaster notes, not an owner tasting result.

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 2026-11-07) 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

Exact-name searches found Onyx’s archive and commerce/catalog records, but no qualifying independent tasting review. Standard Iris Estate Gesha pages, seller copy, directories, generic roaster ratings, and differently named 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.
