panama coffee
by rosso coffee roasters - 17th ave · calgary, canada
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is lerida washed geisha lot 5 100g, a honey panama from rosso coffee roasters - 17th ave.
expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with tropical fruit, jasmine, and floral notes running through, and a honey and honeycomb sweetness at the finish. there is also a winey quality that adds depth to the cup.
this is a geisha variety grown in boquete, panama, and processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, contributing to its body and fruit-forward sweetness.
a filter or pour-over method works well here, as it preserves the clarity needed to highlight the floral, citrus, and honeyed notes that define this geisha. keep water temperature moderate, around 90-93°c, to avoid muting the delicate aromatics.
the steam hisses differently here. maybe it's the way the barista's hands move, confident but unhurried, or how the grinder sounds like it means business without trying to prove anything. rosso coffee roasters sits on 17th avenue southeast like it's always belonged there, pulling locals into its orbit with something chains can't replicate: actual care in the cup. 537 google reviewers figured this out, rating it 4.6 stars. those numbers tell a story. regulars don't just come back for caffeine, they return for consistency that feels personal, not corporate. each pour has weight behind it. the kind of place where your morning ritual becomes something worth protecting. this isn't coffee as commodity. it's coffee as conversation between roaster and drinker, where beans get treated with the respect good ingredients demand. calgary's got plenty of options, but rosso understands something fundamental: when you slow down enough to do things right, people notice.
