panama coffee
by phil & sebastian coffee roasters - hudson block · calgary, canada
expect tropical fruit. this is guarumo chicho gallo natural, a natural panama from phil & sebastian coffee roasters - hudson block.
this coffee leads with tropical fruit character, a direct result of the natural process used to dry it. expect that fruitiness to be pronounced whether you brew it as filter or espresso.
it comes from panama and is processed using the natural method, meaning the coffee cherry is dried whole, which allows the fruit to ferment around the bean and leave a strong imprint on the final flavor.
the omni roast level means it performs across brew methods, so filter brewers and espresso drinkers can both use it. for filter, aim for water around 9396°c with a medium-fine grind, and for espresso, try a slightly extended ratio to highlight the fruit rather than push bitterness.
phil & sebastian's hudson block location sits on 8th avenue sw like it belongs there, drawing regulars who've given up on explaining why this matters to people who think coffee is just coffee. the difference shows in your cup. steam rises differently here, carrying notes that chains can't replicate because they're not trying to. calgary's downtown gets its fair share of caffeine dispensers, but this spot earns its 4.5 stars from 354 reviews through something simpler: they give a damn about what they're doing. the baristas know their beans, the roasting speaks for itself, and that first sip reminds you why you started caring about coffee in the first place. some places serve drinks. this place serves reasons to slow down.
