Know Your Coffee: Washed Caturra - Jamison Savage
Coffee from panama can auction anywhere from hundreds, to even thousands of dollars per pound. creating a reputation for your farm can be quite challenging when you are a small producer in a sea full of wonderful coffees. the savage family in chiriqui has sent shockwaves throughout the coffee industry & world - winning first, second & third place in the world barista championship in 2024. the first feat of its kind.
this washed process caturra doesn’t quite make it to the auction house but we thought it was especially worth explaining the notoriety & expertise found when working with this family. The savages are 3 generations of specialty farmers in panama & we have become friends through coffee competitions & overall nerd-dome for amazing geshas.
this Caturra is grown at around 1600 masl. caturra can be known as somewhat of a basic varietal but this lot presses the boundaries on that notion - showcasing an exceptional clarity & refined acidity. the savages hyper-attention to detail enhances the caturra’s clean & structured profile, making it a favorite for anyone that enjoys bright, elegant & refreshing coffees with a crisp finish.
