Coffee Flavor
The flavors of coffee are derived from the breakdown of various nutrients in the green coffee beans during roasting. Heat causes these compounds to degrade into a variety of aromatic molecular structures, resulting in a wide spectrum of flavors. High-quality coffee beans naturally possess a rich aroma that evolves at different temperatures—high, medium, and low—offering a delightful and nuanced experience worth savoring.

The Casa Ruiz Cooperative, established in 1979 in Panama, is one of the most renowned cooperatives in the Boquete region of the Baru Volcano. Located in the valley at the foot of the volcano, the family has passed down the cooperative for three generations. Today, it has over 300 small family farms and estates as cooperative partners, ranging from cultivation and processing to marketing. The estates are mostly over a century old, including Berlina, Maunier, Panamaria, and Cafe Ruiz, among others. In contrast to other cooperatives that sacrifice the environment to increase planting area in order to increase production, Casa Ruiz adheres to the traditional, environmentally friendly methods of growing coffee in the Boquete region. However, to improve the quality of green beans, they have broken with the past and implemented a rigorous system for every step of green bean processing, including green bean cultivation, processing, screening, and storage.
Casa Ruiz is a perennial winner of the Best of Panama competition and is considered one of the top suppliers of specialty coffee beans.
The coffee tree, botanically classified under the Rubiaceae family and the Coffea subgenus, is an evergreen tree. Coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee fruit. There are three main varieties: Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica. These three varieties cannot crossbreed to produce different subspecies. The world’s specialty coffee comes from the Arabica variety, and within Arabica, there are various subspecies resulting from evolution, hybridization, and mutation. The world's specialty coffees are derived from Arabica, which itself has various subspecies and hybrids resulting from evolution, crossbreeding, and mutations.
Caturra
Caturra, the Arabica coffee variety, is a mutant of Bourbon and was first discovered in Brazil. The taste has a sour taste of lemon or citrus, and it has a fruity taste in terms of sweetness. Although the sweetness is not as good as Typica and Bourbon, the sweetness can be very good when properly roasted. The sweetness of Caturra is determined by the number and dosage of fertilizers applied by the grower, and the harvest period takes 2 years, and the cost of care is high, so the yield is still limited.
Catuai
Catuai, the Arabica coffee variety, is a hybrid of Caturra and Mundo novo. Caturra is short and Mundo Novo is tall. Later, the improved height is more convenient for harvesting. The taste is sweet, the sweetness performance is similar to that of Cattura, and the sourness is less, which improves the shortcomings of bad taste and poor flavor, and has a good sense of balance.
Coffee Processes
The term "processing methods" refers to the process of transforming ripe red coffee cherries into dried green beans. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, influenced by the natural environment and the specific needs of the coffee-producing region. As a result, different regions adopt the processing method most suited to their conditions. This batch uses washed processing methods, described below:
【Washed / Wet Processed】
The seeds are then fermented in water tanks to eliminate the remaining mucilage on their surface, followed by thorough washing and drying under sunlight or with mechanical dryers.
