What Friedhats says about this coffee
Last year’s Carmen Estate offering was one of our favourite Panama’s of last year - tropical with notes of bergamot and jasmine, a really good Gesha. This year’s offering is laced with what feels like an expensive rose water, warm honey, and peach - delicate and beautiful.
Carmen Estate takes its name from Mrs Carmen Franceschi, the estates’ first owner along with her husband Efrain. For almost 20 years now the estate has been producing exceptional quality coffees and consistently scoring high in the Best of Panama competition. Sitting at an altitude of 1800 masl within the Volcan valley of Chiriqui, the farm is now owned and managed by Carmen and Efrain’s grandson Carlos, the third generation to take the helm.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Panama
Friedhats describe this coffee as fruity, citrus, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Panama; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Panama, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
