Typica Washed - Specialty Coffee from Panama - Don Pepe Estate 500g

Origin: PANAMA 

Variety: TYPICA

Typica is the base from which many coffee varietals have been developed. Typica is the oldest variety in Panama, first cultivated in the late 1800s. Typica coffee plants are tall, low-yielding plants with a conical shape. The bean has an elongated, oval shape. Typica coffee has a very low production but excellent cup quality. The Typica varietal produces a clean and resonant acidity which increases in intensity at higher elevations. The cup can be characterized by lemon and floral notes and by a sweet aftertaste. 

Process: WASHED

Washed process is about removing the cherry’s cover from the seed before drying. This approach requires the use of specialized equipment and huge amounts of water.

Washed processed coffees have a lighter and cleaner body with a more refreshing palate than natural processed coffees. But, on the other hand, its brewed coffee usually has greater vibrancy as its clean acidity smoothens coffee aftertaste. On top of that, the coffee taste is still as fruity as its natural bean, whereas the nuances might be distinct.
