Founded by the Alexander family in the early 20th century, it is named after the local Indian aboriginal word for "high mountain". It has five estates, the most famous of which are Duncan and Don K, named after the grandfather and father of the current owner. Located in the Balu volcano producing area, with a unique micro-climate and volcanic topography, Rain Water has a rich growing period and a distinct dry and wet season; coupled with the flow of lava in the volcanic zone, the fertile volcanic black soil and good drainage have unique growth conditions, and the smell of coffee produced is particularly fascinating. The elevation here is more than 1700 meters, the wind is very strong, and there are many huge coniferous forests in the park, all of which are more than 200 years old. Kotowa also attaches great importance to the environment, completely does not use any chemical fertilizers, using cherry peel pulp and other parts to make high-nutrition compost to conserve coffee trees and give back to the land, not only in 2006 the Panamanian environmental protection agency nominated Kotowa Coffee as the winner of the Panama National Environmental Protection Award, but also created the uniqueness of Duncan Manor coffee flavor, making the coffee beans produced excellent quality, repeatedly won the best rankings in BOP.

In terms of harvest, ripe cherries are carefully selected by hand. Ricardo, the owner of the manor, adheres to the tenet of slow work, picky, and the pursuit of perfection. According to the ancient method, only 100% ripe red coffee cherries are harvested. Although the fruits of this period are not easy to collect, they can bring out a delicate and plump flavor; with an environmentally friendly peeling machine, only 1 canister and 2 liters of water are used for each pound of raw beans. The source of water used in the treatment is clear mountain spring water, and the post-processing of wet or dry treatment uses traditional mild sunlight to dry raw beans. The dried raw beans are placed in a wooden warehouse for at least two months to reduce the astringency and make the coffee full of flavor. Then choose to grade by size, weight and color, and test each batch of cups to ensure that only the best coffee beans can withstand the name of Kotowa Don K and establish quality control of the traceability system.

Each bag in each batch contains all the detailed information and identification marks for harvesting and processing to protect the virgin forest around the farm planting area and to ensure that there are no fires, no hunting and no ground subsidence during the dry season. The area is a natural habitat for local and migratory birds, planting more than 500 native trees to produce fruits and nuts, ensuring that they continue to thrive around the farm. Year-round farm workers provide free medical care, and children have nurseries and school courses and meals. It has been recognized by the United Nations Children's Fund for nine consecutive years.
