This coffee is highly regarded as a single origin espresso. It is a special, separate micro lot preparation of Elida Estate coffee which undergoes dry rather than washed processing. Varietal is 100% Catuai. While the majority of coffee produced on Elida Estate is washed, this particular small lot was patio dried in its pulp. To aid in drying, it was taken from the farm's higher growing elevations, where there is significant moisture, to a lower elevation where the temperatures were considerably warmer and the air drier. There, it dried naturally, over a period of 10 days on raised African sytle beds. The combination of Elida's award winning Catuai, always a top contender in the Best of Panama competition, and the thoughtful, artisanal processing that the Lamastus family is experimenting with, augers for an extremely complex, earthy cup, pushing the edge of fruitiness to the extreme. A tremendous single origin espresso. This coffee has been chosen by several competitors in barista challenges and, as such, has been judged on the world stage. Very limited supply. Cupping Characteristics: Deep, earthy and highly complex profile. Sweet, tropical fruit, chocolate, blueberry flavors. Syrupy, fruity, chocolaty. Roasting Notes: FC+ will provide a great springboard for espresso, a recommended brewing format for this coffee. If you intend to brew it other than as an espresso you might want to lighten up a little to FC.
