Panama Savage Iridescence 2025

Coffee overview

Savage Iridescence is back for another year, and the 2025 lot delivers a similar experience to last year -- huge florals wrapped around intense tropical and citrus fruits. The carbonic macerated process elevates the Panamanian Gesha, known for subdued floral character, to a lively experience. An excellent balance is struck between these two characteristics.

This release also marks the beginning of Savage season, with two additional Savage coffees being released in the coming months.
