Grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soil of the Chiriquí highlands, this Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) selection captures the classic elegance of Panamanian coffee. The cooler temperatures at high elevations force the Caturra and Catuai cherries to mature slowly, resulting in a dense bean that releases a vibrant, structured acidity reminiscent of green apples. This brightness is perfectly grounded by a creamy body and a lingering finish of roasted nuts and brown sugar.
