panama coffee
by rosso coffee roasters · calgary, canada
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is lerida washed geisha lot 5 100g, a honey panama from rosso coffee roasters.
it leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, then moves into tropical fruit and a winey quality, with jasmine, floral, honey, and honeycomb rounding out the finish.
it is a geisha variety sourced from boquete, panama, and processed using the honey method, which leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying to add sweetness and body.
a pour-over or aeropress approach suits this coffee well, as lower agitation preserves the delicate floral and citrus notes that define the geisha variety and honey process.
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.
