This is the second lot from Auromar we got this year after Lot 1 Vietnam.

In the cup, you will find a complex layer of flavours, starting with floral notes then fruity notes like strawberries and finishing with tropical notes like papaya.

The name of the lot Corza comes from the fact that the area where this lot is produced is near to the National Park Reserve and a Corza (Spanish name for Deer) gave birth to a little baby deer on this coffee area.

We are so happy with this coffee as it comes from a legendary producer Roberto Brenes. We went to Panama in March this year to visit his farm and we were amazed.

The Auromar Farm “Finca la Aurora” is situated between 1570 and 1770 MASL in the highlands of Candela, Chiriquí, Republic of Panama.

​The finca is comprised of 30.5 hectares (75 acres). The total farmed area is 14.5 hectares in the lower 2/3 of the elevation. The rest, 17 hectares, will remain pristine highland tropical forest in the highest parts of the property. The cultivated area has been painstakingly developed to strike a balance between coffee yields and forest preservation.

Shade is provided by endemic species of trees and high-altitude Hass avocado trees. As shade is much heavier than in other farms in the region (1-4), the area enjoys a stable microclimate offering very little swings from day heat to night chill. Also, because of altitude, the harvest begins late in December and ends in mid-March.

The cherries take full benefit of the drop in humidity between December and January at seasons' change, and the sunny dry summer that runs through mid-April.

The outcome of such combination, forest, shade and late harvest is a limited-supply, highly complex beans in each harvest.
