About Producer & Farm

About the Producer

Kotowa Estate was founded in 1913 by Alexander Duncan Macintyre, a Canadian immigrant who settled in the Boquete highlands and named his farm "Kotowa," a local word for "mountain." More than a century later, the fourth generation — Ricardo Koyner and his daughter, Victoria — manages nine farms under the Kotowa name, applying regenerative-agriculture practices that protect the surrounding forest.


About the Farm

Las Brujas ("The Witches") is Kotowa's most celebrated single farm, named for the fog that frequently blankets it during the rainy season. Sitting at 1,750–1,850m in the Potrerillos area with sweeping Pacific views, its volcanic soils and misty highland conditions near Volcán Barú have made it a consistent award-winner at the Best of Panama auction since 2004.

Processing Method

Honey

Ripe cherries are hand-picked and brought to the mill the same day, then rested overnight in sacks before pulping. The beans are pulped but left coated in their sticky mucilage, then spread in a roughly 10cm layer onoutdoor African raised beds to dry in the sun — a method that builds the syrupy sweetness and stone-fruit richness typical of this lot.

Freshly roasted coffee needs time to “rest.” In the first few days, it’s still releasing CO₂, which can make your cup taste sharp or gassy. Giving it a little time helps the coffee open up, bringing out more clarity, sweetness, and a cleaner finish.
