Most Central and South American beans, such as the Costa Rica and the Mexican Custapec, are washed coffees, fermented in large pools of water to release the bean from the coffee fruit. This fermentation creates a bright, tart acidity we characterize as a breakfast-syle coffee. The Panama Boquete is the only dark roast from Central America because its mild acidity makes it an island-style bean, better suited to a dark roast.
