SPECIALTY COFFEE
Produced by Ricardo Koyner at Finca Duncan, one of the historic Kotowa farms located on the western slopes of Boquete in the El Salto plateau, this lot showcases the remarkable potential of the Pacamara variety. Cultivated at approximately 1,800 meters above sea level, the coffee benefits from cool mountain temperatures, rich volcanic soils, and a distinctive rainfall pattern influenced by both the Pacific and Atlantic weather systems. These conditions encourage slow cherry maturation, allowing the fruit to develop greater sweetness and complexity while preserving the structured acidity that defines high-elevation Panamanian coffees. For Lot #3135, only fully ripe Pacamara cherries are selectively hand-picked before undergoing a carefully managed natural process. The whole cherries are meticulously sorted and transferred to drying patios, where they are dried slowly under the sun for an extended period of approximately 18 days. Throughout the drying phase, the cherries are regularly turned to promote even moisture reduction and prevent unwanted fermentation. This patient approach allows the fruit's sugars and aromatic compounds to gradually interact with the seed, intensifying sweetness, enhancing body, and creating greater flavour complexity while maintaining balance and clarity in the cup. Kotowa's commitment to sustainable farming practices further supports quality, with the Duncan farm operating under principles of organic agriculture and utilizing compost derived from coffee pulp to nourish the soil naturally. variant.
