Geisha, Ramla Manor.

Landowner Willem Boot: "it was love at first sight. In 2004, I was fascinated by a geisha on an extraordinary day, and my life has changed ever since." At that time, I participated as a cup judge during the Panamanian coffee competition, and I experienced the flavor of this extraordinary coffee variety "geisha" for the first time. Aromas of jasmine and rose, as well as fresh papaya and tamarind leave unparalleled flavors. I was immediately fascinated by the fascinating features of this coffee, which inspired me to buy 5 hectares of forest on the slopes of Mount Baru. In 2006, we began to plant geisha trees surrounded by beautiful and dense subtropical rain forests.

Introduction to the manor

Finca La Mula is a small, high-quality miniature farm owned by Willem Boot and managed by Kelly Hartmann of the multi-generation Hartmann coffee farm family. In 2007, a team of 15 native Ngobe-Bugle coffee farm workers, who were students of Escuela deCafe. The school was founded by Panamanian coffee farmer Graciano Cruz, who organizes courses in coffee planting, harvesting, processing and cup testing. Finca La Mula planting is part of the school's curriculum, and the training focuses on learning coffee growing techniques to produce high-end coffee in a sustainable environment. Finca La Mula is located on the southern slope of the Baru volcano in Panama's Chiriqui province, rising from 5575 to 5906 feet above sea level. The farm has 5 hectares of land. Among the Geisha geisha varieties grown on the farm, three strains were found, including green and bronze tips, and a spontaneous hybrid dwarf variety. Two full-time employees live on a farm in an environmentally friendly house built by farmer Boot. The shell material provides a high degree of comfort for employees and protects against cold and moisture. Cooking is done in an environmentally friendly Oneil oven that needs 80% wood to burn, protects employees from smoke and creates a natural and warm environment. 1/5 of the farms grow beans and vegetables for the father and son who live on the land.

Sustainable practice

Ramla Manor is a miniature manor that adopts sustainable farm practices, focusing on the use of inputs to an absolute minimum. The farm's environmental policy prohibits the use of herbicides or pesticides. Fungicides are rarely used, only when farms experience aggressive fungal attacks. Fertilizer strategy is applied to maintain the necessary plant nutrition in the soil. Fincaramura's natural habitat is a unique alpine, tropical forest environment. The boss of Finca La Mula chose a farm that is completely in harmony with the natural environment. The farm is packed with primary and secondary old trees, a large number of mammals (including the occasional jaguar) and a rich and varied insect life. The cloud forest attracts at least 200 species of migratory birds and provides natural shadows throughout the year. This hue keeps the soil moist and lowers the average temperature, causing coffee cherries to mature longer and do not require irrigation. The content of soil organic matter is very high, and the farm is surrounded by primeval forests. Finca La Mula has a water conservation plan that includes drawing local consumption from nearby streams and processing coffee at nearby Finca Hartmann farm. Plastic and compostable waste are collected on the farm and taken off site for recycling and disposal. Paths spread throughout the farm, with local, deep-rooted "mirto" trees to avoid soil erosion.

Finca La Mula pays workers wages higher than the Panamanian minimum wage, including increased premiums for health care and other social benefits. The two workers who work on the farm live here all the year round and give food bags during the year to increase health benefits. Health care is provided as needed. The farm embodies the unconventional philosophy of a new generation of coffee entrepreneurs, all the way up to the farm level to produce unparalleled coffee quality. As far as Finca La Mula is concerned, owners provide employees with more economic and personal benefits than the traditional industrial-peasant relationship. Health care is provided as needed.
