Population: 3406000

Coffee in Panama is defined by how it is produced, not by geography. In the past, when coffee was widely cultivated, when the areas listed below were small and tightly clustered, the coffee beans could be combined into one unit.

BOQUETE

Bockett is the most famous Panamanian area. Its mountainous terrain creates many microclimates. Cool weather and frequent fog help slow the ripening of coffee cherries, similar to what some people think is a high-altitude climate.

Altitude: 400-1900m

Harvest: December-March

Breed: Typica,Caturra,Catuai, bourbon, geisha, San Ramon

VOLCAN-CANDELA

Mount Kendra produces most of the Panamanian food and some amazing coffee in this area. The region is named after the cities of Baru and Piedra Candela, which borders Costa Rica.

Altitude: 1200-1600m harvest: December-March

Breed: Typica,Caturra,Catuai, bourbon, geisha, San Ramon

RENACIMIENTO

Renacimiento is a producing area in the province of Chiriqui, bordering Costa Rica. The area itself is relatively small, so it is not the main specialty coffee producing area of Panama.

Altitude: 1100-1500m

Harvest: December-March

Breed: Typica,Caturra,Catuai, bourbon, geisha, San Ramon

Panama Hartmann Estate of Hartmann Manor in Panama

When it comes to Panamanian coffee tradition, most of the boutique coffee producing areas that are familiar to the public come from Boquete, but in recent years, coffee from Volcan has gradually emerged in the boutique market, and at the same time, a considerable number of estates have entered the best Panama competition (Best of Panama) or even won the championship. Generally speaking, the average annual rainfall in Walken is less than that in Borquette. At the same time, the geographical environment located to the west of the Baru volcano also gives coffee a stronger dried fruit flavor, sweetness and aroma than the Boguet region. In the early days, most of the cash crops such as fruits and vegetables were grown in Walken, and only a few farmers grew coffee, among which the pioneer of coffee cultivation in Walken belonged to the Hartman family, which was well-known in Panama.

The story of the Hartmann family in Panama can be said to be a long history of European immigration. Alois Strasil Hartmann was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire at that time, that is, the present-day Czech Republic. Later, due to the unstable national politics, Alois decided to start a new life outside the country. At first, Alois stayed in New York and then moved to Panama, but after a few months, Alois found that he was not adapted to the urban life of Panama City. DNA, who had always had adventures in his blood, decided to work and settle down along the mountain line to the Walken area shortly after quitting his job. He also married his first wife Susana Troetsch and gave birth to Hartmann Troetsch, the founder of Hartman Manor. Hartmann Troetsch inherited his father's farmland and began land preparation work in 1940, and then started the history of Hartman Manor to this day. During the initial reclamation, the old Hartman decided to retain most of the original woodland in the manor, and this concept of primary forest protection has always influenced the third generation of manor owners who are now in charge of management. Hartman Manor still maintains this tradition. The coffee planting land in the manor accounts for only about 20% of the whole manor. due to the results of woodland conservation, there are quite a lot of native birds in the manor. And the most famous big-billed bird in the area has naturally become the standard Logo of the manor.

At present, the five children of Hartmann Troetsch handle the large and small affairs of Hartman Manor, among which the eldest Ratibor and Kelly are mainly responsible for the planting, breeding and fertilization of coffee in the park, which is the soul of Hartman Manor. In addition to its own estate, the Hartmann family also provides management services for estates near Volcan. For example, Ninety Plus's estate in Panama has maintained a close relationship with the Hartmann family to manage various matters within the estate.

The Eye of Water has always been a favorite area in Hartman Manor, which is located at a high altitude in the manor and its annual output is very rare. at present, only a few varieties of geisha, Kaddura and Kadui are planted in this area. the manor has a total area of 120 hectares, of which only 20 hectares are used as planting land. Another estate, named Santa Clara, is the site of Hartman's washing plant in addition to serving as a coffee farm and nursery plant. it is also an area where landowners experiment with the flavor of different varieties, with a total of more than ten varieties currently being tested and more if potential varieties are planned for future planting.
