Product Description

It's so nice to have Panamanian coffee back on the list from this older estate that's consistently produced high caliber washed coffees. The dry grounds have a nice savory-sweet note, like honey and toasted grain in light roasts, with a light fruited hint of citrus peel. The wet grounds some candied sweetness of sugar-coated nut. There's caramel note that comes through in the sweetness, accented by creamy macadamia nut, and sweetened almond milk. Body is milky in a way too, which helps bring out the creamy nut tones. La Gloria's acidity level is not 'bright' in comparison to some other coffees, but has a nice mouth refreshing aspect at this lighter roast level that adds a touch of elegance, and not to mention structure. It can be toned down too, by roasting a shade darker to Full City. The middle roasts yield a somewhat neutral sweetness that offsets background notes of bittering cacao and almond that counter, but never overcome. There's a mild fruit note when the cup cools, and hints at baked apple. The finish is clean, heightened by pleasing acidity felt on the tongue.
