Origin: Boquete growing region, western Panama

Notes: Carmen Estate is among the most distinguished of Panama's many fine coffee farms, with a string of successes in green coffee competitions. The 1750 Reserve is a small lot of very high-grown coffee mostly from trees of the traditional typica variety exclusively selected for PT's Coffee.

Blind Assessment: Deep, roundly pungent fruit in the aroma: orange, semi-sweet chocolate. In the cup full-bodied, soft in acidity, and very rich, dominated by a continuing crisp semi-sweet chocolate. Simple but opulent finish.

Who should drink it: A deep, discreetly roast-rounded coffee with great versatility.
