Panama Boquete Hortigal Estate

The two main coffee regions in Panama are Boquete and Volcan. This one is is Northern Panama in Boquete grown by Eira Maria Suarez and her daughters on 34 acres, all above 4000 feet and grown under native shade trees. Located in the highlands of Boquete, the Hortigal estate has been family owned for over 100 years.

This one is very floral. We roast it similarly to a Costa Rica and keep it fairly light, 8 degrees past the ending of the first cracks.  For sure keep it out of the 2nd cracks. Even as you approach 2nd cracks, the bean has lost a lot of what makes it special.
