Strawberry syrup, layered complexity
While this farm has existed for years just outside of the Boquette, Jose Chevas took control of the farm from his father a several years ago and implemented several quality-control protocols. Prior to Jose’s control, the farm was more focused on the local market but Jose has raised the bar, making Chevas a top 10 finisher in the Best of Panama competition in 2025.
Once harvested from a shady section of the farm in Salto at 1650 meters, the cherries were placed in a sealed fermentation tank and inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, allowing for a controlled anaerobic fermentation over approximately six days. Following fermentation, the cherries were transferred to a temperature controlled darkroom for at least 15 days. This slow-drying step gently halts fermentation while preserving the coffee’s aromatic complexity.
Tasting notes: Strawberries are front and center. The coffee opens to reveal, papaya, guava, and vanilla with expressive sweetness.
Due to limited supply, we have set up roasting dates for this coffee. If you order other coffees in addition to this one, your entire order will be roasted and shipped on the chosen roasting date for this coffee.
