Blind Assessment
Finely balanced cup: delicately roasty, very sweet, with a shimmer of dry acidity. Under the impact of the roast the crisp aromatics lean toward leather and an herb-toned chocolate.
Notes
The Bouquete region of Panama near the border with Costa Rica produces some of Central America's most sweetly balanced and elegant coffees.

Who Should Drink It
This wonderfully sweet coffee with a gentle backbone of roastiness and acidity should make a fine multiple morning cup.
