 Panama Carmiseta Estate Boquete 

This coffee is a "Baru Indian High" estate coffee grown in the Boquete region. All Baru Indian High estates are located in Panama’s Boquete region and have altitudes from 1360 to 2000 meters above sea level. Baru Indian High is Suarez family owned and managed by Norberto Suarez. Their estates' soil is of volcanic origin. With temperatures averaging 15 to 22 degrees Celsius, the estates have an average rainfall of 3000 millimeters per year. Baru Indian High processes all of their own coffee at the Beneficio Don Pedro, located in the Cochea region, Dolega District. Coffee is wet processed and dried by the sun; temperatures range from 18 to 27 degrees and in the summer humidity is between 40 and 60 percent. The final drying process is done on drying machines to maintain homogeneity, with maximum temperatures of 50 degrees. Each of the estates that is managed by Baru Indian High has a unique microclimate that produces incredibly varied flavor profiles.

The Camiseta Estate is a "Baru Indian High" coffee. Vidal and Eira Suarez started coffee agriculture in the El Salto microclimate, towards the top of the Barú Volcano in the area known as Camiseta. The coffee plants grown on the estate are 80% Typica. AWinds are North-South during the summer season with the Baru Volcano located to the west and the Central Mountain range to the North, making this the ideal location for the coffee activities.

Panama Camiseta Estate

Origin: Boquete growing region, western Panama

Roast: Medium-Light

Est. Price: $15.50/12 ounces

Review Date: May 2016

Agtron: 55/84

Aroma: 8

Acidity: 8

Body: 8

Flavor: 9

Aftertaste: 8

Blind Assessment:

Delicately sweet, spicy. Honeysuckle, black peppercorn, pink grapefruit, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Crisp, sweet-tart acidity; lightly satiny mouthfeel. The clean, resonant finish consolidates to almond and grapefruity citrus.

Notes:

Produced from trees of the Bourbon, Typica and Caturra varieties of Arabica. This is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Camiseta is one of several farms called the Baru Indian Highland Estates, all owned and operated by a single family in the region.

The Bottom Line: A pretty Panama cup that strikes a balance between delicate sweetness and crisp spice.
