Hartmann Estate Introduction

The story of Hartmann is as legendary as its coffee. Hartmann Estate is located in Santiago, Veraguas, Panama. Its founder was Mr. Alois St. Hartmann (Luis Hartmann), born on June 20, 1891, in the Moravia region of Austria-Hungary, now the Czech Republic. He died on May 25, 1970, at the age of 78.

When World War I began, he was a young boy and was left abandoned. Thanks to his mother, he was able to hide aboard a ship bound for Pennsylvania in the United States and survived; both of his brothers joined the military and died in the war. Luis Hartmann traveled through several countries with his friends before reaching Panama in 1911, settling in Chiriquí Province in 1912 and working mainly in the Candel area, where he built the first small cabin in the primitive forest.

Today, Hartmann Estate is a family business founded in 1940 by Ratibor Hartmann, son of Elias. In 1966, Ratibor married Dinora Zandi from Costa Rica, and together they had five children: Ratibor Jr., Allan, Alexander, Alice, and Kelly. Each family member takes charge of a different part of the operation—coffee growing and management, harvesting and processing, and estate tours. A family estate that has been growing coffee for more than 100 years is a legend in itself.

This family business runs a state-level cupping laboratory and a sample roasting room. Every batch of coffee cherries is rigorously cupped, ensuring Hartmann Estate's consistently stable quality and its drive for continuous improvement. This scientific approach, backed by nearly 100 years of family experience, is the guarantee behind their excellent products.

The lot in question is a Red Wine processed Caturra. From the moment you grind it, it releases an intensely rich fruit-wine aroma, accompanied by fresh smoked-wood spice notes and the distinctive berry sweetness and fragrance of natural processing—just smelling it is intoxicating. On the palate it opens into lush tropical fruit, like a cocktail carefully blended from passion fruit, mango, orange, and berry juices with peach wine. No—it is a cocktail from nature itself.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

If Hartmann's wine-like Caturra has you curious about Panama, FrontStreet Coffee's Panamanian coffees are the next stop. FrontStreet Panama Washed Butterfly is a blend of Geisha, Caturra, and Catuai grown in the Baru Volcano area of Boquete, where heavy rainfall, large day-night temperature swings, and volcanic soil give it impressive body, bright citrus acidity, and Geisha's jasmine aroma; it is excellent as both pour-over and cold brew.

For a purely Geisha experience, FrontStreet Boquete Geisha is an estate-level introduction grown at 1600 meters, offering jasmine, green tea, honey, citrus, and orange. And for the pinnacle of the region, FrontStreet Esmeralda Red Label Geisha is harvested from a single plot above 1700 meters, cupped at 91 points, with a refined orange-blossom honey character.
