panama coffee
by calico coffee · london, uk
you'll taste red apple before stone fruit. this is panama mt. totumas typica - washed, a washed panama from calico coffee.
expect red apple and stone fruit alongside a pronounced black tea, tea-like quality that keeps the cup light and clean rather than heavy or sweet. the washed process reinforces that clarity, making the fruit and tea character easy to distinguish.
it's a typica varietal grown at mt. totumas in panama's volcán region and processed using the washed method, meaning the coffee cherry's fruit is removed and the beans are dried with little to no pulp remaining.
filter methods like pour over or drip suit this coffee well, since they let the tea-like delicacy and fruit notes come through clearly without the intensity that espresso or immersion brewing might add.
you notice the filter bar first, hand-built and low, the kind of thing someone who trained as an architect would obsess over. junchao jonny huang did exactly that before placing third at the 2023 uk brewers cup and opening calico on lower marsh near waterloo. dark wood, soft light, no wasted gestures. huang roasts some of the coffee himself, sources his own green, and still brings in guest roasters when it makes sense. every drink comes with an origin card. considered without being precious about it.
