Panama Volcancito - Don K

Don K is a short name for "Don Koyner," which refers to Alexander Koyner MacIntyre who emigrated from Canada to Panama in the early 1900's to pursue coffee farming. He built the Kotowa wet mill, which is considered to be the oldest wet mill in Panama. Ricardo, Alexander's grandson owns and operates both Don K, and Duncan estate, both using different approaches to produce excellent coffee.

In the cup it's blueberry with cinnamon, hazelnut, butterscotch, warm honey, and hints of cocoa. Outstanding!
