Origin

Panama

Panama's coffee industry is renowned for its innovation and exceptional quality. Introduced in the early 1900s, coffee quickly became integral to the country's agriculture. Recently, Panama gained global acclaim for its specialty coffee, especially the Gesha variety, known for its extraordinary flavor profile due to the rich volcanic soil. With limited production and high demand, Panamanian coffee commands a premium at auctions. The industry thrives on a commitment to excellence and sustainability, and we partner with producers dedicated to preserving resources and achieving superior quality. Each year brings new and unexpected flavors and textures from Panama's harvest, cementing its reputation as a pioneer in high-end specialty coffee.

Elevation

1800 MASL

Elevation influences coffee cultivation, impacting flavor and quality. Higher elevations offer cooler temperatures, slowing the growth of coffee cherries, allowing more time for complex sugar and flavor development. This results in coffee with brighter acidity and a nuanced flavor profile. Additionally, cooler conditions at high altitudes reduce pests and diseases, making these coffees highly prized for their superior quality and distinct taste.

Variety

Gesha

Known for it's delicate, tea-like texture and pungent florals, Gesha is the most sought after variety in the world. After winning the Best of Panama this variety has skyrocketed in fame, going on to dominate the sphere of high-end specialty coffee.

Harvest

Panama

The specialty harvest throughout Central America is concentrated mainly within the months from January through April. The shipping season begins shortly after first harvest and extends well into the months of June and July. The lower elevation regions tend to harvest first, and the high elevation regions harvest slower, with the cold nights lending to the slower maturation of coffee fruit. We tend to buy from our relationships in Central America once a year, with the freshness season running from May until early December.

Process

Drying

Roasting

Diedrich CR-35

Prior to production, each roast goes through a rigorous dial-in process, where we fine-tune our temperature curves. We roast to tight tolerances, with no more than 1° deviation from target temperatures, ensuring quality and consistency in each batch.

Agtron

#75 Light

Referring to medium as moderate is an intentional choice to highlight the roasting process, which is also referred to as development. Coffees within the moderate range exhibit notes in line with terroir, with a hint of sugar-browning. These characteristics are backed by a medium to high perceived acidity with a balanced tactile and sweetness, and they adapt easily from espresso to filter preparation.

Inventory

-1 LBS

When producing and roasting high-end specialty coffee, there are times that such a small lot of a high caliber coffee is produced, that we choose to pack it within boxes and ship it via airfreight. We tend to sell these ultra-small lots for pre-order, so that we can control sales and roasting of these coffees. Typically, these are Geshas, auction lots, or something else high-end and exclusive.

Extraction

Filter extraction offers a clean, nuanced flavor with distinct layers, ideal for appreciating subtle notes. Espresso extraction is intense and concentrated, highlighting bold, rich flavors with crema. It's usually suited for milk-based drinks, providing a robust foundation.
