Rose summer Panama Kadura Kadura Cupid Manor Baru Volcano Cupid Coffee raw beans

The Baru volcano is not only the highest mountain range in Panama, but the sediments produced by early volcanic activity and eruptions bring abundant and very fertile soil, which is rich in nutrients, especially phosphorus and sulfur. When mixed with clay, together with unique climatic patterns, it forms an environment suitable for the growth of high-quality coffee. The dense forest and the large number of species form the overall biodiversity.

The coffee farmers here, about 50 of them in a small cooperative, produce coffee the traditional way in the Borquites-growing it in a near-natural environment. Although the yield is not high, it can maintain a rich ecological environment, and the soil quality can be maintained or even improved. Natural cultivation methods are not only beneficial to the environment, because coffee fruit grows slowly, so it is easier to grow high-quality and very good flavor coffee beans. The farmers harvest the whole berries manually and send them to the nearby Cafe de Eleta S.A. for post-processing. The processing plant is about 4 km away from the farm and has a modern laboratory for quality control and manual screening.
