Blind Assessment
Powerful yet smooth and sweetly balanced. The acidity is round and ripe. High-toned fruit -- pears perhaps -- deepen toward roasty dry prune and bittersweet chocolate in the finish.
Notes
Powerful yet smooth and sweetly balanced. The acidity is round and ripe. High-toned fruit -- pears perhaps -- deepen toward roasty dry prune and bittersweet chocolate in the finish. Boquete is one of Panama 's leading growing regions, located on the eastern slopes of Volcan Baru, near border with Costa Rica. From the 1999 crop. Thanksgiving Coffee is a pioneer specialty roaster founded in 1969 whose motto is "Not just a cup but a just cup." Visit www.thanksgivingcoffee.com or call 800-648-6491 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
A versatile coffee -- just round and roasty enough to complement dessert but assertive and acidy enough for American-style breakfasts.
