Panama Gesha — Natural
Janson Coffee Farm · Volcán, Chiriquí, Panama · 1,600 masl

Vinegar. It's on the notes and I'm leaving it there.

Naturals with real ferment taste like this. Some people love it, some people send it back. I'd rather you know before you buy.

Under the vinegar is blueberry, and a lot of it — the jam kind, not the fresh kind. The sour keeps it from getting cloying. Purple lily on the nose if you catch it early.

Wait twenty minutes. The vinegar backs off and it turns sweet. That's the part I like.

If you want the polite version of this coffee, the Janson washed is right there.
