An Owner’s Favorite Since 2017: Finca Auromar

Finca Auromar, a two-time Best of Panama 1st-place winner, has been a personal favorite of our founder since 2017. Perched high in the Volcán region of Chiriquí, this renowned estate consistently yields extraordinarily dense, hard-grown beans that express the pure essence of Panama’s premier terroir. This release marks our seventh purchase from Auromar—and our long-awaited return to the farm since 2023.

Pristine Natural Processing & Ultra-Light Precision

Auromar’s Geisha is celebrated for its remarkably clean processing, and this year’s natural lot shows virtually zero funkiness to us—in fact, once properly rested and degassed, its clarity and profile come remarkably close to the washed version. We pushed our roast profile very light so the extraordinary density of these beans preserves a rich, syrupy sweetness with crystalline transparency.

The Cup Profile

On the cupping table, this natural lot dazzles with beautiful, lifted brightness from the very first sip. Vibrant passion fruit acidity leads the cup, unfolding into an intricate, aromatic bouquet of rose and jasmine florals before settling into a lush, perfumed lychee sweetness that lingers effortlessly on the finish.
