  up my latest purchase of raw coffee beans from Sweet Maria’s. I had once again splurged, plopping down 17.50 for a lb of the most intense coffee that I had come across so far: India Anohki. This coffee, grown on giant trees in the mountainous regions of India, presents a truly unique taste to the coffee palate. It is not for everyone,

  something this coffee definitely is, and most of it is consumed locally leaving only small batches of it available to the outside world.

  Ok, three entries on one coffee might be going a bit overboard. But, seeing that the India Anohki costs about three times that of your typical coffee, I figured I might as well get my money’s worth. As I said in my previous post, I was starting to get worried that I will never again experience that initial slap to the head taste

  It was a decent cup of coffee that had a great roasting smell (perhaps from the dry process). Still, it was really nothing to write home about. Next up was the Boquete Golden Peaberry: another decent cup with a nice fruity flavor. Yet it seemed to be lacking a little something. None of these coffees from Panama made me sit up and go,
