Panama Savage Iridescence
Panama Savage Iridescence
Iridescence is a washed carbonic macerated Geisha grown in lush, volcanic, rainforest highlands. This anaerobic process was first pioneered by Jamison Savage in 2016, sparking a global coffee processing revolution, forever changing coffee production, around the world.
First, ripe cherries are hand harvested at more than 1,650 m. These cherries are then deposited into hermetically sealed tanks and periodically infused with CO2 allowing for a controlled fermentation of the fruit, thus enhancing the delicate flavors of tangerine, white peach, and lychee, coupled with elegant acidity, and high floral aromatics.
The coffee processing protocol has been developed by Jamison Savage of Finca Deborah which required meticulous and complex execution by Jamison. Drying of the cherries takes place on the 3 layered beds at various heights inside a partially sealed area. Each drying bed has a separate function. In the first stage, after picking, the cherries are placed on the highest bed for 5-7 days. Here, as the sun’s rays are the strongest in order reduce potential bacterial activity. The second stage enables the cherries continue to dry for 10 days. This stage develops the sweetness in the grain. The third and final stage, the cherries are moved to the lowest and coldest bed for 3-5 days to reach a moisture level of 11%. A small amount of the coffee is then sampled and tested for water activity, tasted and later stabilized. Prior to shipping, the coffee cherries are de-pulped and the green beans are vacuum packed. Variations of the drying technique is applied for dedicated fermentations, yet the basic protocol is used for many of Savage coffee.
