From a Championship-Winning Region!

Panama coffee originated in 1780 when European immigrants introduced the first Typica varieties. Located in Central America with natural advantages of sunshine, fertile land, and high mountains, plus an abundant labor force, this region has become an excellent area for cultivating high-quality specialty coffee—it's truly a paradise for growing coffee. In particular, Geisha varieties from Panama have led the global trend of specialty coffee, successfully attracting worldwide market interest in Panamanian coffee.

The Boquete region is Panama's oldest and most famous coffee-growing area, located on the eastern side of Volcan Baru at an average altitude of 1000-2000 meters. The "Volcan Baru National Park" is a conservation area with extremely rich biodiversity and multiple microclimates. Perpetually shrouded in mist with abundant rainfall, it creates excellent cultivation conditions, giving Boquete coffee its unique aroma. This region produces the most coffee in Panama with exceptional quality.

During harvest season, coffee farmers use the refined washed method and sun-drying process, resulting in full, flavorful coffee beans with pure taste profiles.

Volcan Baru's Unique Terroir

Volcan Baru is not only Panama's highest mountain range—early volcanic activity and eruptions deposited vast amounts of fertile soil. These soils are rich in nutrients, with volcanic ash particularly high in phosphorus and sulfur. Mixed with clay and combined with unique climate patterns, this creates an environment perfect for growing quality coffee. Dense forests and numerous species form overall biodiversity.

About 50 coffee farmers in this area form a small cooperative, all using traditional Boquete methods to produce coffee—letting coffee grow in a near-natural environment. Although production is not high, it maintains a rich ecological environment where soil quality can be preserved or even improved. Natural cultivation methods not only benefit the environment but also allow coffee cherries to grow slowly, making it easier to develop high-quality coffee beans with excellent flavors.

Farmers manually harvest complete coffee cherries and send them to the nearby Cafe de Eleta S.A. for processing. The processing facility is about 4 kilometers from the farm and includes a modern laboratory for cupping quality control and manual selection.
