This coffee is very dynamic and flavorful! I used these roasted beans for a double-shot espresso and they produced a bunch of rich flavorful crema, with a slightly acidic mouth feel that leaves me wanting more! I was targeting a bean with a slightly acidic taste, because that seems to cut through in mixed drinks like Lattes and Cappuccinos, and this bean is exceptional!
Since this wonderful bean originates from Panama, I decided to blast "Panama" from Van Halen on my speakers while roasting and it was so much fun!
I will indeed be buying this again!

I purchased three LBs in July, I feel it tastes very similar to Bali Blue Moon coffee, which we all love it so much of its so smooth and juice taste. I continue getting 3 more LBs in November amount with Bali Blue Moon and others.
The way I roast it, don't want for its poping signal, watch the color changes around 9:30, it's in between city to city+, enjoy it.

Since my wife had chemo decades ago, she could not tolerate coffee. I tried everything from Mexico to Peru and Costa Rico to Ethiopia. Finally, I bought a roaster and started over with green coffee beans. Finally, I found this one. Medium roast for her and the best espresso roast I have ever had for me. Now, I buy nothing but green coffee bean from Boquete Panama. THANK YOU!

I enjoy this coffee while it is hot, but as it cools it gets acidic. I roasted it at a City +, I may try a little lighter roast next time or make sure I drink it while it is still hot :-)

Our ALL - TIME - absolute favorite. Perfect balance as a single origin / stand alone / roast alone / brew alone coffee. Blending not required and not necessary. Will buy more as soon as we can.

I'm cupping this new arrival for the first time as I review. It's a nice balanced cup. Mild acidity roasted at full city. 50 seconds past first crack and dropped before the start of second crack.
The flavor is complex and is a crowd pleaser. Five stars is hard to get from this cupper but I'd recommend this green.

Tastes OK. Most silver skin of any bean I have tried. Best for me with Full City+ or Vienna roasts.

This is a real good coffee with creaminess and taste. Fruity as it cools and a good body. Very nice any time of day. Will buy again. Delicious.

Was disappointed that the flavor was weak at a med to dark roast. No chocolate notes in a vanilla latte.

Got this for my birthday and I roasted it to a Geisha profile that CBC was kind enough to provide for me. Talk about great service…they actually did a couple of roasts on their HotTop and sent me the profile. I adapted it to my machine and tastes and then bought 3 more pounds. It doesn’t get any better than this.

I first had Panama Boquete when I was a young 19 year old soldier stationed in Panama in the late 1980s. It totally blew my mind. Super smooth, exotic, and wonderful. This coffee is what made me a coffee lover. We are featuring this coffee for the next three months and our customers agree with my initial assessment. If you call yourself a coffee lover, you absolutely must try this coffee roasted to a medium. No coffee lover's resume is complete without Panama Boquete.

Fantastic coffee. We typically favor African and Indonesian coffees over Central/South American coffees, but Panama Boquette is really pleasant. Roasted through first crack- there were still some residual pops but basically through. Infrared thermometer read 217c when I pulled it. A nice medium roast. Definitely a sweetness, and almost a viscosity to the end result. Brewed in Aeropress. One of my favorites for sure.

Didn't know what to expect. Found the coffee to be gently exquisite. Love it. Will always have some around.

This is one of the finest coffees I’ve ever roasted. At a light-medium roast, it is very well balanced and has very mild bitterness. It is almost tea-like and has the perfect amount of sweetness. I can’t quite identify the fruit flavor. I let it rest for three days - perhaps a few more days is ideal. I’m purchasing more today!

Makes a excellent drip and espresso. Roasted just before 2nd crack. The flavor profile matches the description. I will add it to my rotation.

I’m just getting into roasting and have tried a bunch of different beans so far. This one is at the top of the list. I prefer a nothing fancy, plain Jane type of coffee, and for me, this is it. Roasted it for 2 min after first crack, for a nice medium roast. I’ll be stocking up on this one.

If I was limited to one bean this would be my choice.

This has been a very active seller in our small town America farmers market and our small store. Roasted at 13 to 14 with the mild flavor, it makes a great addition to our 10 plus varieties.

Wow, is this good. Buttery mouthfeel for sure. Coats your mouth with savory goodness long after you take a sip. Prominent flavors to me are caramel, toffee, & a slight nuttiness. Definitely to the sweet side. A tinge of spice on the back end. This may be the winey/earthy taste described in CBCs notes above. Not getting any chocolate flavor, though my wife said she tasted a little. Very smooth, balanced, and complex. Flavors develop over time in your mouth, and blend together at the end. Just a delightful cup of coffee. Side note: I ordered a Panama Boquette from another vendor just to compare. Very comparable in taste and price (though CBCs were slightly cheaper due to the holiday sale). Biggest difference was that the other vendor's beans took 2 weeks to arrive. CBCs took 2 days. Won't name the other vendor, but her initials are SM. Might stand for Slow Moving!

Balanced and smooth, still working with different levels of medium to find the perfect fit for us.

It was my first time with Panamanian coffee and I couldn't be more pleased. I opted to roast it to a medium dark (until 1st crack went quiet but not enter 2nd crack). Thrilled with the results. Brewed through an espresso machine captures every nuance.

This coffee stands out as a light, delicate, gentle, and smooth cup. I roasted it to just before second crack. I like it better in the Moka pot than as a pourover. Pre-brewing aroma both as a bean and as a grind is strong and cocoa crispies-like. You could almost convince yourself you're drinking tea.
I like sampling as many different beans as possible from CBC, and my opinion always falls in either "buy again" or "meh, try something else". These are definitely buy again.

A great bean to roast for those who enjoy cream in their coffee.

Update on my previous review about Panama Boquette SHB. Yesterday I roasted and could not wait to try it. This morning (24 hours later), I brewed several pots. Waiting 24 hrs. After roasting? HUGE difference, night and day! Just beginning to hit its peak. Roasted medium. Family breakfast. Everyone loved it. Very smooth. Left a nice ‘feel’ in the mouth after drinking. Flavors more complex, but nicely balance. Will buy again. Still delicious 😋 according to my wife’s review yesterday. Still yummy to me! 👍

I am an impatient roaster I roasted it this morning should be ground in brewed tomorrow morning, but couldn’t wait.My wife took a whiff and even she wanted to try a cup for someone that rarely ever drinks coffee after the morning.Perhaps I will get back with you with more details later especially after tomorrow because tomorrow morning we’re having it again I’ll see what 24 hours will do. But right now today, we even kept it first. And both of us could tell there was the flavor of molasses.My wife said delicious and the only thing I can come up with until another time is, yummy! Not a real professional review is it? 😂
