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. Nestled in the high-altitude Volcán region of Chiriquí, this celebrated estate consistently produces extraordinarily dense, hard-grown beans that capture 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.

Volcán Terroir & Ultra-Light Precision

From the very first cup of this year’s harvest, we were struck by a signature lychee character running across both Auromar’s washed and natural offerings. To honor the pristine clarity of this washed lot, we pushed our roast profile very light—allowing the remarkable density of these high-grown beans to preserve a rich, syrupy sweetness without a trace of roastiness.

The Cup Profile

On the cupping table, this washed Geisha immediately stands out with a bright, juicy lychee body that anchors the cup with plush sweetness. As it cools, vibrant and clean jasmine florals bloom across the palate, leading into a crisp, sparkling finish lifted by fresh orange brightness.
