Timbertrain Coffee Roasters - Panama - Ojo de Agua Natural - Inverted Aeropress

The second coffee we were sent from Timbertrain was a Panama. I don't see much Panamanian coffee on the market, so I was curious on how this would taste. Breaking from the often profile of Central American coffee, this was natural processed, thus yielding an immediately fruity nose from the get go. Interesting choice for the roaster, as many African coffees have this processing and typically have these fruit notes, but we have had very few Central American coffee made in this manner.



Tasting notes: Immediately, a zippy currant taste, rounding out on the end, smoother than their Guatemalan coffee. Per Brent, this is the best natural processed coffee he has ever had. I tried this on the French press at home an got similarly glowing reviews from my wife and mother in law.

These Timbertrain folks have got some heavyweight chops for such a new roasting company, and we will make sure we order some more of their coffee soon!  

Jay's rating: 9.5
