you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is panama elida estate vuelta washed drd, a washed panama from substance café.
it carries jasmine and floral notes alongside a tomato character that gives it a savory, unusual edge compared to more fruit-forward washed coffees. it's a complex cup suited to drinkers who enjoy something beyond the typical sweet or bright profile.
it comes from elida estate in panama and is processed using the washed method, where the coffee cherry's fruit is removed before the beans are dried. this approach generally results in a cleaner, more defined flavor profile.
brewing methods that prioritize clarity, such as pour-over or filter, are well matched to washed coffees like this one, as they allow the jasmine and floral notes to come through clearly. keep water temperature moderate, around 90-93°c, to avoid masking the more delicate aromatics.
you book a time, you show up, and joachim morceau decides what you're drinking. that's the deal at substance café. no takeaway, no menu to scroll, just coffee roasted on site and a host who competed at the french brewers cup twice, once pulling a runner-up finish with a washed biodynamic geisha. the lots he sources are small, sometimes unrepeatable. he's not chasing volume. he's slowing you down long enough to actually hear where the coffee came from.
