panama coffee
by pirates of coffee · mississauga, canada
you'll taste lemon before stone fruit. this is abu geisha gw-3230: panama anaerobic washed, an anaerobic panama from pirates of coffee.
this coffee has tasting notes of lemon, stone fruit, and jasmine alongside broader floral qualities and a clean, black tea-like character. the anaerobic washed process reinforces both the bright citrus edge and the tea-like finish.
it is a geisha variety grown in boquete, panama, and processed using an anaerobic washed method, meaning the coffee ferments in a sealed, low-oxygen environment before the fruit is removed and the beans are washed clean.
filter or pour-over brewing suits this coffee well, as those methods highlight its lemon brightness, floral aromatics, and tea-like clarity without adding body that could obscure the more delicate notes.
