Blind Assessment
Crisply sweet, deeply nut-toned. Dried apricot, saltwater taffy, cocoa powder, cashew, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with brisk acidity; delicate, silky mouthfeel. Cocoa powder and cashew lead in the quiet finish.
Notes
Produced by Jose David Garrido of Mama Cata Estate entirely of the Typica variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Small Eyes Café is a small, family-owned coffee shop in Yilan, Taiwan, specializing in artisanally roasted specialty coffee and homemade desserts.

Bottom Line
A sweetly nutty, intriguingly savory Panama Typica animated by notes of dried stone fruit and salty-sweet candy.
