It's not for me, but for those who can and want to have it, we really are
lucky to have such a place as this to purchase our obsession. So thanks Tom
for the great coffee and the great prices, compared to the offerings
elswhere it really is a bargain.

Tom, i hope this is not too strange but what has an effect on flavor in a
coffee, altitude, soil type,  weather patterns? Also do the different
varietals of coffee have different characteristics that give them a
different flavor profile?
Also i have noticed that some coffee's reach first and second crack at
different temps and times, it this due to bean mass, density, the amount of
water in the beans?
Sorry that's allot isn't it? LOL!

 What i would like to hear is the comparison

Personally I'm in the small camp that doesn't care for the high Catuai
content of the Carmem Estate finding it a very unclassic Panama charactered
cup. Nothing like a good La Berlina or Mama Cata. But then, maybe it's they
aren't the typical Panama cup being the Typica varietal!
