Summer

We are thrilled to release another exciting coffee from our friends at Finca Santa Teresa! The team at FST has long been involved in the global high-end coffee market, but actually, their primary sale is of large-scale but high-quality traditional varieties; Catuai and Caturra. Their main lots are of exceptionally high quality, undoubtedly due in part to FST's astonishing terroir: rich volcanic soil, high altitudes, surrounding rainforests, and idyllic weather systems.

This coffee is from their famous 'Summer' plot, which produces shade-grown coffee from 12+ year old trees. This beautiful East facing plot extends up the mountain and sits at an average elevation of 1550 masl. This particular lot is processed as an anaerobic natural, whereby the cherry is picked when fully ripe and transferred to sealed tanks for an initial fermentation before being transferred to raised beds to dry. The cherry is turned every few hours for even and precise drying for a total of 4-6 weeks.

This is another great example of why we love Panamanian coffee so much. You can expect notes of orange, melon and brown sugar.
