2017 Best Panama Bid Panama Catova Estate Duncan Plot Sunrise Summer Coffee Lot

Kotowa family has five estates, the most famous of which are Duncan-Duncan and Donhe-Don K. These two estates are actually divided into two sides of the mountain ridge line, and the micro-climate of both sides varies greatly, which is reflected in the performance of coffee flavor: Duncan is a plantation garden, and her coffee flavor presents a variety of fruits, with obvious floral aroma and delicate spice sweetness.

MacIntyre, the original Canadian founder of the estate, had a prominent political position in his homeland, but had a strong desire for change in his busy and hectic life. One day in 1918, he read a report about Poquete, Panama, Central America. The report details a secret place on the side of a mysterious volcano that is cool all year round. So his curiosity drove him to Poquette. He fell in love with the local people of Poquet and the fantastic valley, so McIntyre decided to settle here. For four generations now, the Alexander family has grown coffee here in the traditional way and is proud of the fine coffee they have carefully grown. Ricardo Koyner is the current owner of the estate.

Catawal Estate is located in Panama's Poquete region, at an altitude of 1700-1850 meters. The estate has a strong social and environmental awareness, and in order to ensure a clean, safe and sustainable environment, the estate grows and treats coffee with traditional concepts but the latest technology. Therefore, 500 hectares of virgin forest have been specially reserved as wildlife reserves. The estate consists of five main planting areas: Finca Kotowa Duncan, Finca Kotowa Don K, Finca Kotowa Rio Cristal, Finca Kotowa Tradicional and Las Brujas. Finca Kotowa Las Brujas, one of the growing areas added in the past two years, has also performed very well in the Best Panama competition in recent years. During the harvest season, Katowar chooses to plant red coffee fruits and treat them with clear and cool local mountain spring water. They use only half a liter of water per pound of coffee, which saves about 10 to 20 liters compared to other treatment plants. The treated pulp and waste water are also reused as organic fertilizer. Finally, in the dry climate of 1700 meters of high temperature, slowly dry naturally.

In fact, behind the legend of Kotowa Don K, Duncan, Las Brujas, there is a real coffee man-Ricardo Koyner. He inherited the coffee garden founded by his mother's grandfather Alexandar Duncan in 1917 and the washing plant built by his grandfather Don K. However, Panama coffee was still unknown, not only the summer coffee tree was still waiting for people to discover, but many excellent beans were also disguised as Hawaiian Kona in the United States in the 1990s and innocently involved in the most famous coffee fraud case in history. At the same time, the price of coffee futures in New York fell year after year after the end of the Cold War, and the prospect of running coffee farms at that time was actually very optimistic. However, Ricardo, who has a university degree in economics, knows that Kotowa Estate can only get rid of the shackles of futures prices by producing the highest quality raw beans, and only then can it have a sustainable operation and even development foundation, so he embarked on the road of fine coffee.

Ricardo and a group of outstanding Panamanian coffee growers such as Wilford of Elida Manor, Francisco of Don Pachi Manor, Daniel and Rachel of Esmeralda Manor, first launched the Panama Coffee Association (SCAP) together to share and learn from each other about planting and processing techniques, and then organized BOP competitions. In just a few years, it attracted the attention of many fine coffee lovers, and later it was the dazzling Rose Summer Coffee that appeared and became famous all over the world.

Not only is this not a fluke at all, but it happens to be the result of silent efforts and open-minded sharing and learning. Kotowa, a leading coffee plantation at the heart, soon received a gift of rosewood seeds from Esmeralda to help improve rosewood coffee production and technology. For example, the sun treatment method, which was not favored by SCAA cup experts, became another dazzling star in just a few years. Today, Ricardo not only delves into the causes of the various forms of rose summer, but also collaborates with UC Davis, the top agricultural research center in the United States, to explore more secrets about the good taste of rose summer.
