JBC Coffee Roasters

Finca La Mula Panama Geisha

Price: $59.95/8 ounces
Coffee Review's No. 1 Coffee of 2015

Immense, sweet, juicy, intricate. Lilac and jasmine, peach, apricot, rosehip, much more in aroma and cup.

Flavor, particularly the crisper notes, carries deep into a sweet, peachy finish.
