Kotowa Manor of the ever-victorious Army

Kotowa means "mountain" in Indian, and when it comes to Kotowa Manor in Boquete (Poquet Valley), most coffee makers will have a bright eye! One of the editor's favorite Panamanian manors!

First of all, let's take a look at its excellent competition results, not only winning awards year after year, but also BOP (Best Of Panama) in the last five years. Regardless of whether it is divided into two groups / three groups / four groups in that year, the army of Kotowa is able to win awards in each category every year. Ricardo, the owner of Panama's well-known KOTOWA coffee, runs three very famous Panamanian coffee estates, "DUNCAN" and "Don K".

Located in the Baru volcano area, in addition to the high-altitude Don K and Duncan estates, there is its own treatment plant and traditionally washed farmland about 1350 meters away.

Poquet said that the area of Volancito, which is cool and frost-free at night and dry and sunny during the day, is deeply affected by the micro-climate of the Pacific and Atlantic currents. Rain Water has abundant growing periods and distinct dry and wet seasons; coupled with the flow of lava in the volcanic zone, the fertile volcanic black soil and good drainage have unique growth conditions, creating great Panamanian coffee.

Kotowa Manor is not only the winner of the coffee competition, but also attaches great importance to the ecological environment. In 2006, it was awarded the cleanest environmental industry by the Panamanian national authorities. More than 500 trees are planted in the original forest, and the forest reserve is around the park, which creates the diversity of animals and plants, and abides by a series of strict agricultural production standards and rules. and properly plan the balance of social and environmental development: natural water resources and ecosystem protection, wildlife conservation, pest control. Soil conservation, integrated waste management, maintenance of community relations, free medical care, fair treatment of farmers and their families and good living conditions.

The exquisite legend of the whole process of solarization.

It takes two to three weeks to finish the whole process of Towa's solarization. Under the black net of the bean bed is not commonly used soil or cement, but a thick layer of rice husk. Such a facility can lower the temperature, maintain humidity and slow down the drying rate! And this is another secret of the delicious taste of Catova Coffee Garden!

Excellent competition results, not only win awards year after year, look at the last five years BOP (Best Of Panama), every year in each category have award batches, very excellent!
