REVIEWS FOR:

Honey and Natural Process Coffees, Central America 2014

By Kenneth Davids
September 1st, 2014

Klatch Coffee

Panama Ironman Camilina Geisha

Review Date: Sep 2014
Price: $49.95/8 ounces
No. 1 Coffee of 2014

Beautifully structured and almost impossibly intricate in flavor and aroma. The fruit sensation is so deep and so complex that one could find almost any note in it: we settled on guava, mango and tangerine. Intensely floral – passion fruit, lilac, lily – with crisp cacao nib and sandalwood complication. Rich, lyric acidity; syrupy but buoyant mouthfeel. The aromatic fireworks quiet a bit but still saturate the finish.

Namusairo Coffee

Panama NPGE Perci N2

Review Date: Sep 2014
Price: KRW 50,000/200 grams

Delicate, crisply and sweetly intricate. Honey, mango-like fruit, elderberry and very complex floral notes, ranging from bitterish lavender through lush honeysuckle. A hint of rye whisky, a sort of essence of rye whisky, supports the fruit and flowers. Tart though very sweet acidity; light but silky mouthfeel. Deep, resonantly flavor-saturated finish.

Balanced, quietly complete, subtly original. Orange, fresh-cut cedar, lily-like flowers, roasted cacoa nib, a hint of brandy in aroma and cup.
