i've been meaning to mention the coffee known as panama boquete here for a while. . .

a mild, bright coffee, grown in an almost ideal climate, it makes a relaxing drink in a vac pot or press pot. experiments with as an americano have been mixed, however. what's great about it, besides its quality and taste, is the fact that it's often shade-grown, raised under papaya and other fruit trees, which helps make it more bird-friendly.

in short, more people should know about panama coffee. . .most people would find the various panama coffees a delightful cup, although due to its mildness and calming flavors, some intense coffee fans might find it a little johnny-one-note.

finally, i've written about fair-trade coffee here before: and now we learn that fair-trade brew is a becoming a big hit in the u.k.
