Roaster notes
Availability is unclear: the 100g variant is marked "sold out or unavailable," but the page also says "Hurry, only 18 items left in stock!" I'd confirm before listing. Also, the earlier Klover "Afterglow (Classic Natural)" lot credited Finca Deborah at 1,950 masl, whereas this one is Morgan Estate at about 1,850–1,900 masl, so the "Afterglow" name appears to be a Savage Coffees label used across farms or releases, not one lot. Morgan Estate is new to the write-ups.

INTRO
White florals, ripe strawberry, and peach: a generous natural Gesha with the elegance to match. It combines expressive fruit with a clear floral character, with the natural process adding sweetness and depth while the variety's elegance stays at the centre. In the cup: white florals, ripe strawberry, peach, red grape, and champagne.
THE PRODUCER
Morgan Estate holds a special place in Jamison Savage's story: it's where he conducted some of his earliest experiments with carbonic maceration, an approach later closely associated with Savage Coffees. Afterglow explores a different expression of the same attention to detail, putting the emphasis on exceptional cherries and carefully managed drying. The estate sits in a secluded valley outside Volcán at roughly 1,850–1,900 masl, with a river running through the property and mature native trees forming a dense canopy over the Green Tip Gesha, in rich volcanic soils surrounded by rainforest.
THE PROCESS
Only ripe Gesha cherries are selected and placed intact on raised drying beds. Jamison's naturals dry slowly through a multi-level raised-bed system, moving through progressively cooler drying stages, with careful turning and monitoring throughout.
The slow whole-cherry drying through progressively cooler stages is the defining step. It builds the ripe fruit character, rounded sweetness, and generous texture while preserving the Gesha florals.
THE CUP
Opens with lifted white florals, followed by ripe strawberry, peach, and red grape. As the cup cools, the fruit becomes deeper and sweeter, with a soft, champagne-like lift and creamy sweetness underneath. Rich, gracefully structured, with a lingering fruit finish.
