COFFEE CULTURE Dubbed the Rolls Royce of coffee, Panama Geisha has finally arrived in Dubai, as Intellect Coffee launches its own version. Made from hand-picked coffee cherries harvested under specific conditions from the tallest mountain in Panama, the Volcan Baru, the finest Arabica beans are used to brew this delicately flavoured coffee. Panama Geisha’s distinctive flavour profile (smooth, fruity, silky) is one of the characteristics that make it so prominent. Intellect Coffee brings a unique sweet flavour and tasting notes featuring pineapple, lemon peel, grapefruit and cacao nibs, contributing to Panama Geisha’s characteristics. For coffee connoisseurs out there, these beans scored an 89.25 in cupping - the industry standard for a speciality grade of coffee is 80 and above.
