Blind Assessment
Simple, balanced aroma: hints of tart cherry, cocoaish chocolate. In the cup soft acidity, silk mouthfeel, with intensifying crisp chocolate and nut notes haloed by a continued tart cherryish sweetness. Rich, sweet finish.
Notes
"Honeyed" refers to a processing and drying method usually called pulped natural, in which the skins are removed from the coffee but the sweet, sticky fruit flesh, or "honey" is left on the coffee as it is dried. Finca Lerida is among the most celebrated of the many fine Panama farms in the Boquete region. Tactfully roasted at PT's Coffee, where the motto is "without the love, it's just coffee."

Who Should Drink It
Unusual processing method appears to promote a simple but pleasing cup character combining fresh, tart fruit and dry nut and chocolate notes.
