Kotowa has a total of four coffee estates, namely, Finca Kotowa Duncan, Finca Kotowa Don K, Finca Kotowa RIO CRISTAL and Finca Kotowa tradicional, among which Duncan Manor is named after the owner who pioneered the land. The two most famous estates are Duncan and Don K, which are located on both sides of the mausoleum line, with not only great changes in micro-climate, but also different flavors of coffee.

Duncan Manor, about 1650-1750 meters above sea level, is located on the west side of the Pokuit producing area next to the Baru volcano (Boquete). It is cool at night without frost damage, dry and sunny during the day, and is deeply affected by the microclimate of the Pacific and Atlantic currents. During the growing period, there is abundant rainfall and a clear dry and wet rainy season. In addition, the lava in the volcanic zone is rich in minerals, the fertile volcanic black is rich in nutrients, good drainage is also quite good, and unique wind and soil conditions.

According to the characteristics of Arabica species, the quality of Yugao coffee usually increases at altitude, because high altitude leads to a drop in average temperature. Although the quality is improved, the coffee harvest will decrease, and the key altitude is 1200 meters. Received the influence of the temperature change in the planting area, when the temperature decreased, the quality of coffee increased progressively, but the low temperature should not be lower than 12 degrees Celsius, the high temperature should not be higher than 30 degrees Celsius, and the manor was at 1800 meters. A greenhouse was designed to plant coffee seedlings. Four different microclimates were used to test different heights and rainfall patterns to study the effect of temperature on coffee flavor. These results were then collaborated with Dave University University to study and evaluate the effects of coffee genes on quality and flavor under different variables.
