Underneath it there is a black-tea quality — that gentle, tannic lift that clean washed coffees do so well — and the finish settles into dark chocolate. Medium body, moderate acidity, long and comforting. This is a coffee to drink every morning, not one to analyze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Typica Variety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypica is the mother of modern Arabica. Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai and Geisha all trace their lineage back through it. It is low-yielding and slow-growing — which is precisely why most farms replaced it, and why the estates that kept it are worth seeking out. In the cup, Typica is prized for \u003cstrong\u003eclarity, refined sweetness, gentle acidity and a silky texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. It does not shout. It is simply coffee, done properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Washed Processing Matters Here\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the washed process, the fruit is removed from the cherry before the bean is dried, so nothing from the pulp masks what is underneath. What is left is the bean itself: the variety, the soil, the altitude. That transparency is exactly why washing suits Typica — the sweetness and the tea-like texture are the variety's own, not borrowed from the fruit. A washed coffee is also a harder coffee to hide behind, which is a good sign when the cup is this clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMima Estate, Alto Quiel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlto Quiel sits in the highlands above Boquete, on the flanks of the Barú volcano — volcanic soil, cool nights, and the fine mist locals call \u003cem\u003ebajareque\u003c\/em\u003e. The cherries ripen slowly there and concentrate their sugars. Mima Estate is the single farm behind this lot, and Altieri Specialty Coffee is one of Boquete's most consistent competition producers, with Best of Panama placements in 2014, 2015 and 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Single-Origin Typica (Arabica) — Mima Estate, Alto Quiel, Boquete, Panama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess: Washed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTasting notes: Caramel, black tea, dark chocolate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Whole Bean or Ground — your choice at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet weight: 340g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourced directly from the producer in Boquete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivered worldwide in 5 days via FedEx or DHL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Brew Typica Washed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrind fresh right before brewing if you take the whole bean.
