panama coffee
by substance café · paris, france
you'll taste stone fruit before peach. this is panama hacienda la esmeralda fundador, a washed panama from substance café.
it tastes of stone fruit and peach, with a floral jasmine character running through the cup. the washed process keeps things clean and well-defined rather than heavy or syrupy.
it is grown in boquete, panama, and processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed before drying to produce a cleaner, more transparent cup.
filter methods such as pour-over suit this coffee well, as they preserve the clarity of the washed process and let the peach, stone fruit, and jasmine notes come through clearly. keep water temperature around 93°c and avoid over-extraction to protect the delicate floral qualities.
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.
