巴拿馬 Savage 咖啡藝伎

The gesha from Boquete Valley has this jasmine and stone-fruit thing going on that I didn't expect to actually taste outside a café. Brewed it in my pour-over at 93°C and the cup stayed sweet all the way through the finish. Genuinely the best beans I've had at home in a while.

The jasmine-like aroma hit me the second I opened the bag, and the first sip tasted even better than that smell promised. This Boquete Valley and Volcan collaboration is easily the smoothest cup I've had in months, with zero bitterness on the finish.

Ordered whole bean and the jasmine note really comes through in a pour-over, though I had to dial the grind a bit coarser than my usual to keep it from going bitter. At this price I'd hoped for a slightly bigger bag, but the cup quality from that Volcan lot is genuinely there.
