Brewing Advice

Water is one of the most critical components of an excellent coffee experience. We recommend using mineral water of a soft Total Dissolved Solids count, ideally below 50 ppm. 

Rested coffee During the resting process, harsh and astringent flavors, which can even be perceived as a ‘roast’ character, soften out, allowing a clearer and brighter expression of the coffee’s character to shine.  

We recommend resting our coffees for at least 10 days after the roast date, and we often find excellent results, especially for particularly dense coffees, beyond 6 weeks.

Brewing Our straightforward approach to coffee carries over into brewing. We recommend our roasted coffee for all brew methods, regardless of whether it is immersion, percolation or espresso. We believe that there is one correct way to roast a single coffee, roasting lightly, in such a way as to release its innate qualities and showcase its quality.

Chevas Coffee Estate

The Chevas family's story in Boquete began with José Luis's grandfather, Luis Víctor Chevas, who started farming in Alto Chiquero in the 1970s. He initially grew onions and potatoes before planting larger coffee lots in 1996. In 2016, at the age of 18, José Luis founded Chevas Coffee Estate on the family land, with a focus on specialty coffee and precise, lot-specific processing.

Chevas developed its Dark Room and Cold Room drying alongside traditional washed and natural methods, making controlled drying a signature of the estate. José Luis also works alongside Adrián Villarreal, the 2020 Panama Barista Champion, combining producer and barista perspectives to develop each lot. The estate's plots sit between 1500 and 1750 masl in the cool, humid highlands of Boquete, spanning three distinct microclimates: Alto Chiquero, El Salto and Alto Quiel. Organic-rich volcanic soils and cool temperatures at altitude slow cherry maturation.

Natural Dark Room drying

For this lot, the cherries are dried whole, allowing the fruit to contribute to natural-process intensity. After a brief pre-drying in the sun, they are finished in Chevas’s climate-controlled Dark Room, where temperature and humidity are managed for a slow, even drying curve. The result is a concentrated and controlled expression that retains the intensity of a natural process while preserving the clarity Geisha is known for.

Geisha

Geisha originated in western Ethiopia and rose to fame in Panama after its Best of Panama debut in 2004. Its aromatic delicacy provides a useful counterpoint to the greater fruit intensity created by natural processing. This lot shows the Dark Room drying preserving Geisha’s clarity while the whole-cherry process brings concentrated sweetness, with notes of strawberry, rosehip and orange.
