Abstract

Hover over each feature to learn more.

This is an inaugural offering from our friend Jameson Savage from the esteemed Iris Estate. While we have passively worked together on a few projects over the last season, we have solidified our partnership at the outset of the harvest with an offering from each one of his farms. This Iris Estate Gesha is a washed expression of the variety, ushering forward a clean and floral cup, reminiscent of jasmine and lime.

Origin

Panama

Panama's coffee industry is renowned for its innovation and exceptional quality. Introduced in the early 1900s, coffee quickly became integral to the country's agriculture. Recently, Panama gained global acclaim for its specialty coffee, especially the Gesha variety, known for its extraordinary flavor profile due to the rich volcanic soil. With limited production and high demand, Panamanian coffee commands a premium at auctions. The industry thrives on a commitment to excellence and sustainability, and we partner with producers dedicated to preserving resources and achieving superior quality. Each year brings new and unexpected flavors and textures from Panama's harvest, cementing its reputation as a pioneer in high-end specialty coffee.

Elevation

1800 MASL

Elevation influences coffee cultivation, impacting flavor and quality. Higher elevations offer cooler temperatures, slowing the growth of coffee cherries, allowing more time for complex sugar and flavor development. This results in coffee with brighter acidity and a nuanced flavor profile. Additionally, cooler conditions at high altitudes reduce pests and diseases, making these coffees highly prized for their superior quality and distinct taste.

Variety

Gesha

Known for it's delicate, tea-like texture and pungent florals, Gesha is the most sought after variety in the world. After winning the Best of Panama this variety has skyrocketed in fame, going on to dominate the sphere of high-end specialty coffee.

Harvest

Panama

The specialty harvest throughout Central America is concentrated mainly within the months from January through April. The shipping season begins shortly after first harvest and extends well into the months of June and July. The lower elevation regions tend to harvest first, and the high elevation regions harvest slower, with the cold nights lending to the slower maturation of coffee fruit. We tend to buy from our relationships in Central America once a year, with the freshness season running from May until early December.

Process

Drying

Roasting

Diedrich CR-35

Prior to production, each roast goes through a rigorous dial-in process, where we fine-tune our temperature curves. We roast to tight tolerances, with no more than 1° deviation from target temperatures, ensuring quality and consistency in each batch.

Agtron

#75.4 Expressive Light

Nordic-style roasting is a moniker applied to the very light roasting style that many employ in Northern Europe. We've opted to refer to this as Expressive Light. Seldomly do we apply such little development; however, if a coffee falls within this category, you can expect a bright acidity that dominates the cup, as well as a silky but tea-like tactile and a sweetness that is light and short.

Inventory

0 LBS

Day after day, producers, roasters, and cuppers alike all spend countless hours of work to produce and roast small, traceable lots that we within specialty coffee call microlots. Ranging anywhere from a few lbs to many pallets, this nebulous category refers to a traceable single-origin, producer or even specific picking date. Is all that hard work keeping things separate worth it? That is up for you to decide...

Extraction

Filter, Espresso

Our Education Team, guided by a commitment to quality, uses a blend of sensory skills and technology to brew the best coffee in our cafes and brew guides. We strive for vibrant and mouthwatering acidity, complex and approachable flavor, persistent and clear sweetness, and structured and pleasant mouthfeel, ensuring you're getting the best coffee experience.
