New Crop Panama Boquete.......

I just received a sample of the first of the new crop of Panama. It is a Boquete Casa Ruiz. The beans were nice and green, about 18 screen and very uniform. They roasted up even and the aroma was rich and bold right out of the sample roaster.

The cup was a bit disappointing. It was smooth and mellow with a mild acidity. To be honest it wasn't bright enough for my taste. The taste did not match the boldness of the aroma.

This is the first of many......... No Problemo we will find the right one!
