Panama Boquete Coffee
Panama Boquete Coffee: Trail Boss
Our light roast Panama Boquete Coffee, proudly named Trail Boss, is crafted to honor the fearless cattle drivers of the American Frontier—those whose grit and determination forged new paths across rugged landscapes. These trailblazers embodied resilience and leadership, traits mirrored in every cup of our Trail Boss coffee. Sourced from the renowned Boquete region in Panama, this roast delivers a vibrant and memorable coffee experience that pays homage to the spirit of the Frontier.
Origin & Farm Information
Grown in the picturesque Boquete region of Panama, our Trail Boss coffee thrives at elevations between 4,500 to 6,500 feet above sea level. This high-altitude environment fosters slow bean maturation, which enhances the complexity and depth of flavors. The cooler temperatures and rich volcanic soils not only contribute to the coffee’s vibrant acidity and bright flavor profiles but also naturally reduce pest populations. Consequently, the need for pesticides is minimized. Local farmers employ meticulous hand-picking methods to ensure only the highest quality beans are harvested, preserving the integrity and distinctive character of each batch.
Roasting Level & Process
Our Trail Boss coffee undergoes a light roast, meticulously designed to highlight the beans' inherent brightness and intricate flavors. The roasting process is carefully controlled to maintain a delicate balance between acidity and sweetness, ensuring that the coffee retains its vibrant character without any overpowering bitterness. By roasting lightly, we preserve the unique attributes of Panama Boquete beans, allowing their natural floral and fruity notes to shine through in every cup.
