About this Specialty Coffee

Perched within the pristine highlands of Chiriquí, Panama, Auromar Coffee has established itself as a crown jewel in the world of specialty coffee. At The Espresso Lab, we take immense pride in our partnership with this exceptional producer, whose Finca La Aurora estate sits magnificently at elevations of 1,570-1,770 meters above sea level. The estate's distinctive microclimate—characterized by low humidity and bright, sunny summers—creates ideal conditions for developing the complex flavor profiles that earned them first place at the 2013 Best of Panama competition and continues to impress The Espresso Lab's discerning customers.

The Espresso Lab believes that exceptional coffee must be produced with respect for both the environment and community, a philosophy Auromar embodies through preserving 16 hectares as pristine highland tropical forest and providing employment opportunities with above-average wages to the Ngobe-Bugle indigenous group. Their comprehensive approach to sustainability includes educational initiatives and structured activities for employees' children, fostering the next generation of coffee stewards while maintaining the delicate ecosystem that contributes to their coffee's unique character.

When you savor an Auromar coffee at The Espresso Lab, you're experiencing more than just a beverage—you're partaking in artisanal excellence through meticulous processing methods including extended sun-drying on African beds, controlled 16-18 hour fermentation periods, and innovative anaerobic techniques utilizing oxygen-deprived tanks. The partnership between Auromar and The Espresso Lab represents a shared vision: delivering an unparalleled coffee journey that honors the bean's origin while celebrating the artistry involved in its transformation, embodying what can be achieved when passion meets precision in the noble pursuit of coffee perfection.
