Panama Abu Geisha Natural Lot 6
Coffee Review - 95 points! Deeply fruity, superb Geisha Natural from Jose Luttrell's Abu Coffee Plantations, a Direct Trade coffee. Abu is a rising star in the stellar universe of Panama's high end coffee scene where recent prices have gone out of sight. Panama is the Geisha capital of the coffee world today and top coffees command hundreds (or more) per pound with the majority heading to Asia. While still expensive by conventional measures, Abu has not yet risen to the very lofty price levels that have been attained by some of the more noted names in Boquete and Volcan Panama, the two growing areas surrounding the Baru volcano: Hacienda Esmeralda, Elida Estate (world record price for both scores and price), Kotowa, Auromar and others. That said, the coffee is very fairly valued by comparison and especially for the level of quality. This particular was our favorite pick from their harvest and likewise that of the producer. It is very limited. Lots of florals, notably jasmine. Aromas of chocolate and flowers with flavors of dark fruit, dark chocolate, and lemon. Intense chocolate and floral notes.
