panama coffee
by rosso coffee roasters · calgary, canada
you'll taste red apple before jasmine. this is hacienda esmeralda noria washed geisha 4fb 100g, a washed panama from rosso coffee roasters.
it tastes of red apple, jasmine, and broader floral notes. the washed process keeps the cup clean and defined, letting those delicate flavors come through clearly.
it is a geisha variety grown in boquete, panama, at hacienda esmeralda noria, and processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed before the beans are dried.
filter or pour-over brewing works well for this coffee, as the gentle extraction preserves the floral and fruit qualities that the washed geisha is known for. keep water temperature around 93c and avoid over-extraction by dialing in your grind size carefully.
the smell hits you before you even reach the door on centre street north. that's the thing about rosso coffee roasters, they're serious about the roast, and it shows in every cup they pull. with 765 google reviews sitting at 4.4 stars, this isn't just neighborhood loyalty talking. it's earned respect. walk in on any tuesday morning and you'll see the same faces. the regular who orders a cortado without saying a word. the student camping out with textbooks and a pour-over that's gone cold. they keep coming back because rosso doesn't cut corners. the beans are roasted with intention, not just to caffeinate the masses rushing to downtown offices. this is what independent coffee should be. thoughtful, consistent, unapologetically focused on the cup rather than the instagram moment. calgary's coffee scene needs more places like this.
