Panama SHB Catova Manor Don K Sun Finca Kotowa Don K Natural

The founder of the manor: Alexander. Duncan. McIntyre, a former Canadian, has a very important political position in his hometown, but has a strong desire for a busy and vibrant life. One day in 1918, he read a report about Pocket, Panama in Central America. The report details that there is a secret that is cool all the year round next to the mysterious volcanic slope. So his curiosity drove him to Poquet. Unexpectedly, he fell in love with the local people of Poquet and the dreamy valley here, so Alexander. Duncan. McIntyre decided to settle here. Up to now, the Alexander family, which has experienced four generations, has grown coffee in the traditional way and is proud of the boutique coffee they have planted with their heart. Ricardo Koyner is the current manor operator.

Kadova Manor is located in the Pokuit producing area of Panama, 1700-1850 meters above sea level. The manor has a strong social and environmental awareness, in order to ensure a clean, safe and sustainable environment, the manor uses traditional concepts but the latest technology to grow and handle coffee. Therefore, 500 hectares of virgin forest is specially reserved as a wildlife reserve. The manor has four main planting areas, namely Finca Kotowa DUNCAN, Finca Kotowa DON K, Finca Kotowa R and O CRISTAL and Finca Kotowa TRADICIONAL. An additional planting area has been added in the past two years, Finca Kotowa LAS BRUJAS, which has performed very well in the best Panama competition in the past two years. During the harvest season, Cordova Manor chooses to plant red coffee fruits and treat them with clear and cool mountain spring water. Under the concept of environmental protection, they use only half a liter of water per pound of coffee, which saves about 10 to 20 liters compared with other treatment plants. However, the treated pulp and waste water are also reused as organic fertilizers. Finally, in a cold, dry climate of 1700 meters, it dries slowly and naturally.

Witch LAS BRUJAS

Las Brujas means witch. The name comes from the stream in the park, which appears and disappears from the groundwater system. The flow of the stream in the underground tunnel causes waves of howling, which is thought to be from a witch living in the forest.
