Hartmann. Natural . Café de Panamá

This is a natural processed coffee from Finca Hartmann in the Santa Clara region of Panama, grown at 1,400 meters above sea level. The coffee is produced by the Hartmann family, pioneers in Panamá specialty coffee production since 1940. The varieties are Caturra and Catuai. The natural process begins with carefully harvested cherries placed on African raised beds, ensuring no water touches the cherries to preserve mucilage and sugar transfer. The coffee is sun-dried for 12-17 days to 14% humidity, then finished in mechanical dryers to 11-11.5% using slow drying with low heat and high airflow. The coffee features tasting notes of tangerine, red fruits, mango, and rose. The farm cultivates coffee under shade from native tropical forest trees, with almost 100 hectares of forest reserves bordering La Amistad National Park.
