Water Process Decaffeination

The process of decaffeination should in no way detract from the experience of the coffee quality. To this end, the decaffeination process for our […]

Panama Gesha Perci Red Receives 97 Points!
Blind Assessment: This extraordinary coffee almost defies description with its aromatic complexity while retaining a classic clarity of structure.

The floral notes are almost as complex, provoking associations ranging from bitter lavender to lush honeysuckle. Additional complications include a […]

Flavor persists into a rather drying finish. Notes: This coffee represents a micro-lot project, Lot 36, from an eight-acre parcel within the eighty-three acre Finca Las Esmeraldas farm. Barrington Coffee is […]
