Hunter Bay Coffee

Light Roast: Panama Panamaria is a palate-pleasing, richly flavored single-origin estate coffee— a medium-bodied brew with natural sweetness, brightness and exquisite balance.

Hstorically Panamanian coffees have been somewhat anonymous and were commonly used as “blenders” to touch up better-known varieties, Hawaiian Konas in particular. In recent years, however, quality single-estate coffees from Panama have taken top honors in international cuppings, attracting fans of the better known Central American coffees like the assertive Costa Ricans or the spicy Guatemalans. Hunter Bay’s Panama Panamaria is one of the best coffees from this Central American Country – a rich brew with an ample balance of sweet citrus and chocolate in a thoroughly sweet finish.

Roasting Notes:
We roast this quality Central American varietal to a light brown Full City roast to capture Panama Panamaria’s sumptuous candied-citrus fruit highlights, vanilla-accented rich chocolate flavors and sweet brown-sugar finish. Even coffee drinkers who prefer darker roasts will enjoy the remarkable balance of Panama Panamaria’s full-cup experience.
