Horqueta - Panama

Our first ever Panama. Horqueta, Boquete highlands, grown at 1,600 masl by Don Mariano González of Cafetalera Los González - a family farm in the González hands since 1920. Catuai, anaerobic natural. Cherries fermented in GrainPro bags for 24 hours, then transferred to barrels for another 24 hours before drying on raised beds.

Tasting notes of mango, wild strawberry, dark chocolate and red wine. Roasted light-medium with an extended Maillard phase and short development to keep this one wild.

Why we rest our coffee

We roast on a Loring S15, and one thing we've learned is that our coffees need time. At least 2 weeks off roast, sometimes 3+ before everything really comes together.

It's not just us - we've had the same feedback from customers brewing at home. The sweetness, the clarity, it all shows up later than you'd expect.

So if you get a bag and the roast date is recent, give it some time. It's worth the wait.
