Panama - Finca La Santa

Fully Washed, Shade Grown, Family Owned

Creamy, brown Sugar, Sweet, Orange, Dark Cherry

This is an excellent coffee from the Gallardo family, who have been growing fine Panama coffees for three generations.
The farm is currently owned by Jose Manuel Gallardo, who took over from his father.
Jose's son, Pocho, now manages the 556 acre farm.

The coffee is entirely hand-picked and sorted to ensure the finest quality and consistency from farm to cup.

A must try!

General Flavor Observations
Panama - Finca La Santa

This is a medium to full-bodied coffee, with abundant notes of milk chocolate and brown sugar. Well balanced, sweet, mild acidity, with notes of orange and hints of dark cherry on the finish.

The aroma offers notes of warm nutmeg with soft, floral overtones.
The mouth-feel is round and creamy, with a sweet finish.


Whichever Roast Level you choose, you will be left with an extremely satisfying experience.

Roast Level Profile Notes
Panama - Finca La Santa

My favorite roast level is Full City for the best balance of profile in the cup, but Full City (+) is very nice as well.

We are always happy to accommodate any roast level you prefer.
The notes below illustrate how changing the roast will alter the profile:

City Roast (light roast)

Offers a nice raw sugar sweetness, with roasted nuts and cocoa dominating the profile.
The body will be lighter, with soft, sweet hints of orange, nutmeg, and cocoa. The finish will be crisp and bright.

Full City Roast (medium roast) - Preferred

This is my favorite roast level, and where I found that warm, yummy sweet-spot.
This roast offers a medium body with a smooth, creamy mouth feel, with plenty of milk chocolate highlighted by soft notes of orange on the upper palate; all surrounded by a sweet, dark cherry and brown sugar finish. Amazing!

Full City (+) Roast

Our Full City (+) roast will provide a more silky, full-bodied experience.
The chocolate tones lean more to dark chocolate with a slight caramel sweetness.
The acidity will be tempered, yet you will still find notes of dark cherry highlighting the smooth, sweet finish.

Vienna Roast

This roast will provide a deeper and juicier body with darker, bittersweet chocolate notes and a kind of jammy sweetness.
The finish will be more pointed and lingering.

French Roast

Not recommended.

The Gallardo family's coffee has been awarded at the Best Of Panama in several years since 2015 and has been used by baristas in the final of world barista competition

One of my favorites
I saw this new Panama offering (enjoy other Panamanian coffees) so I thought I’d try it. Wow! I’m glad I tried it.
From the aroma when opening the bag to the last sip from my mug, it was superb.
This will be one of my favorites for sure.

Poor Man's Jamaica Blue Mountain
I am amazed how much the Panama offerings differ from producer to producer.
This offering from Finca Gallardo is one of the best and reminds me of the Jamaican Blue Mountain, similar taste profile, just less pronounced.
I'd say that this Gallardo is the poor man's Jamaica Blue Mountain for less than a third of the price!

If you have not already done so you must try it.

You Need To Try This Coffee
This Panama is one of the best varieties I've tried yet from Storehouse Coffee.
As another reviewer noted, it's tough to pick my favorite between this and the Costa Rican, so if you like that one you'll love this coffee too.

Im-PRESS-ive !!!
I love Central American coffees from Storehouse, so I wanted to give this Panama a try, and was definitely not disappointed. It is a robust, rich brew - filling the room with aroma, and filling the cup with flavor. I typically use the pour-over method for my morning brew, but when I decided to take it to the French press.......WOW! This is a great coffee any way you brew it, but this Panama really roars when pressed.
