About this coffee

Typically, Robusta is thought to be of an inferior quality to Arabica... but this coffee is no doubt the exception that confirms the rule! Produced at the heart of the Panama farm, at an altitude of 1,500 metres, it promises a much better quality than most other Robusta coffees. It is grown on very sunny slopes, on land that is among the richest in the countryin organic matter.
It is the perfect coffee for making espressos.

The farm Panama

The Panama farm was created in 1933 on the initiative of Frederick William Owen Smith, then was bought by Julio Herrera in 1985. Today, Alex Herrera inherited this family farm and manages it with passion and determination. The two farms of the Herrera family are polyculture (macadamia, avocados, pollen, bamboo). The farm being located on the slopes of the Atitlan Volcano, the soil is volcanic and stony and reminds us of the soils of some Bordeaux vineyards. A water treatment system makes it possible to recover wastewater for the irrigation of coffee trees.
