It has been a grip since we had any coffee from Panama. They are relatively few and far between (at least for our importers), but when they’re good they are GOOD. This coffee is all caps GOOD! Aromatics include cereal grain, caramel, and candied nuts. The cup is sweet and savory with lovely notes of nougat and caramel, with nicely balanced acidity in the form of apple and tangerine. This is a clean cup with a lot to love. As if that wasn’t enough, here’s a fun trivia bonus: the name of the estate does in fact come from Germany’s capital city, Berlin, the birthplace of the former owner’s wife. It changed hands in 1997 to the Tzanetatos family who, if I may be so bold, are doing an absolutely stellar job. We hope to see this coffee again!
