Why choose Bambito Estate?
In the cup, natural Yellow Catuai sings loud and clear. Strawberry jam. Ripe plum. Grapefruit zest. The acidity is limpid, carried by a creamy texture reminiscent of a red fruit milkshake. A luminous balance, both gourmand and tonic. The epicenter of pleasure, without detour.
The farm, on a human scale, favors finesse over showmanship. Garden plots, meticulous attention to drying, a keen sense of microclimates: here, innovation blends with precision. Nothing ostentatious. Just a patient quest for aromatic exactitude.
When it comes to extraction, let the beans do the talking. In espresso, start at 1:3 for a silky heart and bright fruit (beware of light roasting, which can be very difficult to extract in espresso). In a filter, 1:16 reveals a crystalline reading of grapefruit and lengthens the finish. Adjust the grind: a notch finer for strawberry jam, a notch coarser for citrus freshness.
Bambito is also a story of ties to the land, to the community, to those who care for every detail. We're proud to bring this Panamanian voice to our menu and share it with you.
