PANAMA BOQUETE: clean, sweet and smooth, slight winy/floral notes & nutty/malty darker tones.

DESCRIPTION: This coffee is from the Garrido Estate and very rarely makes it to the US. Owned and operated by Jose David Garrido Perez, it consists of 4 farms, including the famed Mama Cata.

Located in some of the best growing territory in Panama; some of the biggest names in Panama coffee are also located in this prime territory, Hacienda Esmeralda and Elida Estate are neighbors.  Since his coffee is almost always obtained by foreign markets, many in the US have not heard the name Garrido before, but it easily competes with the best of the best.

This is an aggregate coffee by Jose David Garrido Perez. He has come up with an awesome tasting blend of washed processed strains and lots from all of his farms.

This is a super tasty and clean-washed processed coffee, a good example of traditional Panamanian coffee. Produced by one of the best Panama farmers on the block!

TASTING NOTES: A clean, sweet and smooth daily drinking cup! A little fuller bodied at the light-medium roast level with a great balance between the slight winy/floral notes & nutty/malty darker tones. Similar to Guatemalan coffee. Some acidity at lighter roasts but just a hint, medium to dark roasts would be marked as low acidity. As one pushes it into the medium roast range, the very sweet nutty tones come off a bit caramel like. Still plenty malty, it will linger on the tongue.  Dark roasts turn pretty strong with the sweeter malty cup profile mixing nicely with smoky and roasty notes.
