Panamanian Coffees…which is really the best Panama Coffee? Part 3
Café Rico. Remember what I said about Café Don Pepe? Well, Café Rico is about one step above that. It was smoky (again) and very very bitter. I didn’t manage to get through a whole cup. Wow. It’s a good thing that each of these little samples only cost 15-20 cents each. All I can say is that I’m both really glad to be tasting all of the coffees, and really unhappy to have to go through the bad ones in order to find the good ones. Hopefully they’re out there somewhere. No, hopefully, they’re hiding in one of these little packets yet to be tasted. If you’re going to suffer through coffee just for the experience, then give Café Rico a try. If, however, you actually enjoy a good cup of coffee that doesn’t taste like someone blew their cigarette smoke into it, avoid Café Rico. Please coffee gods, send some good coffee my way.
Here’s the order so far (from best to worst):
Café Del Fino
Café Rico
Café Don Pepe

Carrie: “Wow, this coffee (Don Pepe) tastes really bad. It smells like cigarette smoke and leaves my mouth feeling like I imagine it would feel if I smoked. Want to try it?”
I’m vouching that the coffees are bad. All of them.
(Actually, I didn’t try the first one – Don Pepe. I can’t pinpoint why exactly, but something about “…leaves my mouth feeling like I imagine it would feel if I smoked…” turned me off to the idea of trying it.)
People know that I don’t like coffee very much, so my opinion may not count for a lot.
In any case, from the small sips I’ve taken, I don’t recommend any of the coffees Carrie has tried so far.
