    The aroma was really delicate and nuanced at first. Uber tea like. Green tea or oolong tea specifically came to mind. Lots of grassiness too. As the coffee opened up, subtle stone fruit notes appeared. Nice fuzzy peach skin quality. Hint of sweetness. Later, the stone fruit presence and the overall sweetness came forth. Some melon was noticeable too. The flavor profile was similar to the aroma but sweeter and juicier. It too was very delicate and nuanced initially. Green tea notes dominated up front. Loads of grassiness. Stone fruits appeared as the coffee opened up. Peach skin again came to mind. Bit of juicy peach flesh as well. The sweet stone fruit presence became more pronounced as the coffee cooled. Nice crisp, lemony brightness in the center. Excellent gentle acidity along with a touch of sweetness. Lemonade came to mind. Some white florals were also noticeable. The floral notes intensified later. More lemon/lemonade on the back end and the finish. Some drying green tea-like tannins lingered after the swallow. Overall, medium-high sweetness in the aroma and exceptional sweetness in the flavor. Medium-high acidity in the aroma and outstanding acidity in the flavor. Excellent creamy, juicy, fuller bodied mouthfeel. This is a fantastic, tea-like Gesha coffee that was significantly more enjoyable after an extended period of rest. If you have a bag of this, be sure to rest it for at least a month and give it a long cooldown when enjoying your cup.

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.
Bean Source Region: Chiriqui
