    The aroma was very process forward. Tart, tangy berry notes dominated. Raspberry specifically came to mind. Freshly pureed raspberries or raspberry juice perhaps. Bit of strawberry too. In addition to the tanginess, there was a nice sugary sweetness as well. Both the funk and the sweetness intensified as the coffee cooled, as did the strawberry presence. Later, powdered cocoa notes were also detectable. Like the nose, the flavor profile was tart, tangy and quite process forward. Raspberry was again most prominent, but it came across as more sour here than it did in the nose. Big strawberry presence too. Nice overall sweetness and terrific sweet-tart balance. There was a big, zippy, berry-like acidity in the center. The finish was reminiscent of sweetened raspberry iced tea. Slightly tannic and drying with a lingering berry-like sweetness. Overall, high sweetness in both the aroma and the flavor. Medium-high acidity in the aroma and high acidity in the flavor. Nice smooth, creamy, medium bodied mouthfeel. This was an enjoyable coffee though, considering the price point ($28 for a 20 gram tube), somewhat of a novelty.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Panama
Panamanian coffee stands out for its exceptional flavor profiles, high quality, and varied growing conditions. Hailing from distinct regions such as Boquete, Volcán, and Renacimiento, these beans often exhibit bright, fruity, chocolatey notes. The unique microclimates, rich volcanic soil, and high elevations in Panama contribute to the coffee's outstanding taste and complexity.
