Drawn from a program responsible for some of the world’s most celebrated competition coffees, this lot offers a rare glimpse into the precision and innovation that define Savage Coffees at its peak.

The Panama Iris Estate Ascension Series Gesha represents a sophisticated collaboration between producer Savage Coffees and roaster Onyx Coffee Lab. Sourced from the renowned Panama region, this lot highlights the Gesha varietal, which is globally celebrated for its distinct floral aromatics and tea-like elegance.

This technique involves the controlled introduction of specific microorganisms during fermentation to influence the final cup profile. For those interested in how such innovative techniques impact the sensory experience, our processing methods explainer provides further insight into the science behind these post-harvest practices.
