Panama Geisha - Iris Estate - Illumination

About This Coffee

Illumination is a perfect illustration of the carbonic maceration treatment developed by Jamison Savage since 2015. It is a washed coffee: the majority of the coffee cherry pulp is removed just after harvest, before the carbonic maceration stage. The coffee is then placed in closed tanks, in which carbon dioxide can be circulated, replacing oxygen and allowing better control of the cherry environment during this first stage of the fermentation process. Iris Illumination is a delicate coffee, with lovely floral scents and fruity notes (bergamot, orange, yellow peach), and a buttery texture. It has a bright acidity and intense sweetness
