People
We believe that achieving excellence in coffee is impossible without the hard labour of all our workers. We appreciate their dedication by paying above average wages and providing social and other services.
Taste
Overwhelming exotic sweetness, balanced fruity notes, vibrant acidity and remarkable floral aftertaste - these are the general characteristics of our honey processed coffees.
We work with varieties such as Geisha, Yellow Catuai, Typica and Pacamara to craft our coffees to their best flavor potential.
Tour the Farm
Take a virtual tour around Los Lajones and Emporium estates in Boquete even if you are thousands miles away! Watch our movie filmed during the 2009 harvest or just enjoy photos from coffee farms all around the world. If you feel like stopping by in person, just let us know.
Café Miel - Honey Coffee
Honey process is a variation on Pulped Natural method with the exception that no water is use to depulp the skin of the ripe cherries. All mucilage is left on the exterior surface of the parchment beans giving the coffee its uniquely sweet flavour. For drying we always use raised "African" beds with plastic cloth on top to allow for air circulation.
Ngobe-Bugle Projects
The members of Ngöbe-Buglé ethnic groups are some of the poorest people in Panama. We believe that growing quality coffee on their own land will help them overcome the omnipresent poverty. In the last few years we have organized many coffee projects in the Comarca to improve the quality and price of their final product.
