From the producer

Jamison Savage and his team manage Iris Estate in Volcán, where the shade-grown farm combines high elevation, volcanic soils, and experimental processing with a focus on Gesha and other specialty varieties.

From the roaster

Onyx presents this lot as a clean, floral washed Gesha, with jasmine-and-lime character in its release story and published notes of tangerine, honeysuckle, pineapple, and peach.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This is the standard washed Iris Estate Gesha release, distinct from Onyx’s culture-inoculated Ascension Series lot. Its exact Onyx archive documents the washed process, light roast, raised-bed drying, and a floral, fruit-forward cup.

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 2026-10-25) 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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

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.
