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 honey and 'grain' smell in light roasts, with a bit more development adding chocolate roast tones to the mix.The wet grounds some candied sweetness, a butterscotch scent, very sweet, and along with a smell of baked goods, like fresh fried donut. For the acidity averse, don't fret. La Gloria's acidity level is not 'bright' in comparison to some of our African coffees, but has a nice mouth refreshing aspect, and not to mention structure. The cup yields a somewhat neutral raw cane sugar flavor, with background notes of bittering cacao and almond that counter, but never overcome. There's a mild fruit note when the cup cools, hints of baked apple and pear. The finish is clean, heightened by pleasing acidity felt on the tongue.
