Simple light chocolate nose.
This was an odd one for me, it was subtle and had enough things going on that I drank it all, but at no point did I really love it. I did think it was interesting, especially with clear rose notes. I think there was a lot of dried flower/lily character, or perhaps a slight hoppiness. I got a slight bit of apricot but not quite enough brightness in acidity to make this work.
It was naturally sweet and had a nice mouthfeel.
Just one person's opinion, I think maybe it could have been roasted just a note lighter.Cupping Method:195F, 18:1 Hario v60
More Details
Roast Level:
Light Medium
A Light Medium Roast coffee, sometimes referred to as a "City Roast" or "American Roast," lies between a light and medium roast. This roast level strikes a balance by preserving the coffee bean's unique characteristics while allowing for a moderate development of body and flavor. The beans have a medium brown color, exhibiting a slight sheen of oils, providing a more balanced and nuanced flavor profile. A Light Medium Roast typically highlights the coffee's inherent fruity, floral, or citrus notes, while also providing some of the deeper, richer flavors associated with medium roasts.
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.
