This bean is from the Don Vicente Estate, located in Panama's ancient Volcan Barú region, in an area once occupied by the now extinct pre-Colombian Barriles culture.
Four generations of the Yanguez family have farmed here, dating back to 1930 when they first arrived from Spain. Their prize-winning varieties are grown beneath a canopy of native forest cover at 1,300m above sea level.
Panama coffees are very sought after and frequently win awards.
Expect: A bright and fruity cup, light in body. A pleasant and delicate aroma. Similar to a Colombian in profile. Serve filtered, French press or as an espresso blend.
