Context

This washed Bourbon from Guatemala's Huehuetenango region showcases the collaborative effort of various smallholders working across elevations between 1300–2000 masl. Panther Coffee brings out milk chocolate, apricot, and plum notes, supported by a silky mouthfeel and honey sweetness. The washed processing method typically emphasizes cleaner, more structured flavors—qualities evident here in the round body and balanced sweetness. Bourbon, a heritage varietal with deep roots across Central America, remains a reliable foundation for approachable, well-integrated cup profiles. This lot represents APICUC's commitment to specialty-grade production through organized smallholder networks.
