Panama Hartmann Estate Caturra Wine Process

This lot is Caturra processed using the wine method. From the moment it is ground, it releases an exceptionally rich fruit wine aroma laced with fresh smoky wood spice. Paired with the particular berry sweetness of natural processing, the fragrance alone is intoxicating. On the palate, rich tropical fruit flavors unfold—like a cocktail carefully blended from passion fruit, mango, orange, and berry juices with a splash of peach wine. No—this is simply a cocktail that nature made by itself.

Hartmann Estate Introduction

The Hartmann story is as legendary as its coffee. Hartmann Estate is located in Santa Clara, Chiriquí Province. The founder was Mr. Alois St. Hartmann (Luis Hartmann), born on June 20, 1891, in the Moravia region of Austria-Hungary (now the Czech Republic), and who died on May 25, 1970, at the age of 78.

After World War I began, he was left abandoned as a young boy. Thanks to his mother, he survived by hiding aboard a ship bound for Pennsylvania in the United States. His two brothers both enlisted and died in the war. Luis Hartmann traveled through several countries with his friends before arriving in Panama in 1911 and settling in Chiriquí Province in 1912, where he was mainly active in the Candela area. He built the first small cabin in that primeval forest.

Today, Hartmann Estate is a family business founded in 1940 by Ratibor Hartmann, son of Luis. In 1966, Ratibor married Dinorora Zandi from Costa Rica. They had five children: Ratibor Jr., Allan, Alexander, Alice, and Kelly. Each family member takes responsibility for coffee cultivation and management, harvesting and processing, and estate tours. A family estate that has been growing coffee for more than a century is itself a legendary story.

The family operation includes a provincial-level cupping laboratory and sample-roasting room. They rigorously cup every lot of coffee cherries, which secures the consistent quality of Hartmann Estate coffee and reflects their ongoing pursuit of improvement. Their scientific approach, backed by more than a century of family experience, guarantees their excellent output.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Panama's reputation in specialty coffee was built on soil and microclimate, so if this Hartmann Estate lot appeals to you, FrontStreet Coffee has several Panamanian options worth exploring. For a first taste of Panama, FrontStreet Coffee's Boquete washed Geisha is an approachable estate-level Geisha planted at about 1,600 meters in the volcanic soil of Boquete, where misty days and cool nights ripen the cherries slowly; the cup shows the varietal's signature jasmine, green tea, honey, and citrus-orange notes. If you would rather not jump straight to a pure Geisha, FrontStreet Coffee's Panama washed Butterfly blends Geisha with Caturra and Catuai and is grown in the Barú Volcano area of Boquete—generous rainfall, wide day-to-night temperature swings, and volcanic soil give it solid body, citrus acidity, and jasmine aroma, and it works well for both pour-over and cold brew. For the highest tier, FrontStreet Coffee's Esmeralda Red Label Geisha is a single-plot lot harvested above 1,700 meters with a cupping score of 91 and a refined orange-blossom, honeyed character; the Diamond Mountain from the same estate, based on Caturra and Catuai, offers a fruitier, sweeter, more everyday alternative.
