Story behind PANAMA TERROIR - lot 2

Gesha coffee variety, which originated in Ethiopia, thrives in the high altitudes of Central America, particularly in Panama. Known for its exceptional flavor profile, Panama Geisha is a standout in the specialty coffee industry. Arabica coffee beans like these are greatly valued, marking them as some of the best coffee in the world. By carefully selecting and processing our Panama Geisha, we ensure a specialty coffee experience that is both authentic and exceptional.

We take pride in roasting our Panama Geisha beans in-house. By carefully controlling the roasting profiles, we bring out the unique flavors and aromas that define this extraordinary coffee. Our dedication to the roasting process ensures that each cup delivers a rich, nuanced, and unforgettable coffee experience.

Processing method

Natural process

Natural processing, also known as dry processing, is one of the oldest and most traditional methods of processing coffee cherries. After hand-picked harvest, the cherries are laid directly to bamboo beds to be dried in the sun with the skin and fruit intact. The sun enhances the natural flavours of the coffee which is contained in the protective layer of the skin.

Natural processing tends to give a more pronounced fruit-forward flavour to the coffee, often with a heavier body and pronounced sweetness compared to washed coffees.

Recommended preparation

Chemex

1. Begin by heating more water than you'll need for your brew (this accounts for pre-wetting the filter and warming the Chemex), ideally to 90-96 C.

2. While the water is heating, weigh out your coffee. A common ratio is 1:15 or 1:17 (coffee to water).

3. Grind the coffee to a medium-coarse consistency, somewhat like rough sand.

4. Open the Chemex filter into a cone shape and place it into the Chemex brewer. Pour a little hot water onto the filter to wet it. Dump the rinse water.

5. Pour your ground coffee into the damp filter. Pour just enough water over the grounds to wet them evenly. Let it bloom for about 30-45 seconds.

6. Start pouring the water in a slow, circular motion, starting from the middle and working your way out, avoiding pouring directly onto the filter. Aim to pour half of the remaining water by 1 minute.

7. After the initial pour, continue to slowly add water in stages until you've reached your desired volume. The entire pour should take between 3.5 to 4.5 minutes.

8. Once the dripping slows to a stop, remove and compost the filter. Give the Chemex a gentle swirl to mix the brew, then pour into your mug and enjoy!

Pro tips:
- The specific coffee-to-water ratio, grind size, and pouring technique can be adjusted based on personal preference and the specific beans you're using.
- Always use freshly roasted and freshly ground beans for the best flavor.
- Using a scale ensures consistency and precision in your brew, helping you achieve your perfect cup every time.
