Panama Iris Elipse

Coffee overview

From the highest elevation farm in all of Latin America, Iris Estate offers one of the standout Gesha offerings of the year. A unique process devised by Jamison Savage combines the berry sweetness of a natural process and the acidity and clean character of a washed. The hyperlight roast profile -- by far the lightest roast H&S has ever released -- transforms the vast availability of these notes into a symphony of floral expressions. Expect a full spectrum of floral notes representing subtle fruits, subdued acidity, and perfumed volume.

This hyperlight roast profile will require a great deal of rest. See recommendations below.
