Panama Ponderosa Sidra Honey Anaerobic offers a vibrant and layered cup profile with bright notes of tropical fruits and red berries, complemented by delicate florals and a rich honeyed sweetness. Its smooth, round body and lively acidity create a balanced and indulgent experience.

The honey anaerobic process begins with an anaerobic fermentation stage, where cherries are sealed in oxygen-free tanks to develop complex flavour compounds. After fermentation, the cherries are pulped, leaving the mucilage intact, and dried on raised beds under controlled conditions. This process intensifies the coffee’s fruity sweetness and enhances its clarity and complexity.
