The Deets

This coffee comes from Enrique Pretel, a 77-year-old coffee producer in Boquete, Panama. He's producing some of the most phenomenal coffees we've encountered. This coffee is a Gesha that undergoes a process Enrique calls "splash." It's a washed process, but after de-pulping, the coffee goes through a short 1-2 day aerobic fermentation, where a blend of lactic acid bacteria is added to enhance the coffee's complexity even further. Enrique's intricate processing has yielded a dynamic and clean cup. We get lavender, peach, and honeysuckle notes that combine like a symphony in the cup and crescendo to a gentle finish that disappears before you get tired of it.

REST IN PEACE

We recommend resting fresh coffee before drinking it. This allows the volatility of the roast time to subside, and the sweetness and character to shine. For best results, rest washed coffees for 5–10 days, natural coffees for 10–15 days, and experimental processed coffees for 15–30 days.
