More information about our Panamanian Coffee Beans collection.

Panama's coffee comes from farms across different altitudes and microclimates, with producers ranging from large operations to small family plots. The country is known for producing coffee with balance and clarity, benefiting from volcanic soils, consistent rainfall, and the serious commitment of its farming community.

Panamanian Geisha especially has gained recognition for its complexity and distinctive flavor profile. That long climb from quiet Central American origin to one of specialty coffee's clearest frontrunners is worth reading in full. But there's more to Panama than Geisha. The country produces excellent Catuai, Caturra, and other varietals that showcase different aspects of what Panamanian terroir can create.

Currently available are multiple coffees from Eugene Altieri's Panama farm, including washed Geisha, washed Caturra, and natural Catuai. Each represents a different varietal and processing choice from his diverse operation.
