panama coffee
by pirates of coffee · mississauga, canada
you'll taste stone fruit before tropical fruit. this is parabolic geisha: carbonic macerated natural, an anaerobic panama from pirates of coffee.
the cup leads with stone fruit and tropical fruit, characters that the carbonic maceration process tends to concentrate and amplify. expect pronounced sweetness and a fruit-forward profile throughout.
it is a geisha variety grown in panama and processed as a carbonic macerated natural, an anaerobic method where whole cherries ferment in a sealed, carbon dioxide-rich environment before being dried with the fruit intact.
pour-over or aeropress are well-suited to this coffee, as they highlight clarity and let the stone fruit and tropical fruit notes come through cleanly. keep water temperature moderate, around 90-93°c, to avoid muting the fruit character with excessive extraction.
