01 |Production area

Panama coffee has a unique quality because of its microclimate. Panama borders Costa Rica and Colombia, and the east-west environment allows cold air currents to flow through the central mountains to converge above 6500 feet, creating a very unique microclimate in the Boquete and Volcán Candela regions, making it a major producer of Panamanian coffee. The surrounding soil is rich in nutrients, and these fertile soils provide the perfect conditions for coffee growth, shaping a large number of unique, high-quality coffee.

Walken

When it comes to Panamanian coffee traditions, most of the more familiar fine coffee regions come from Boquete, but in recent years, Volcan coffee has gradually emerged on the fine market, and quite a few estates have entered the Best Panama competition.(Best of Panama) Even won the championship, the region generally has less annual rainfall than the Borquette, and the geographical environment west of Baru volcano also makes coffee and Borquette regions have stronger dry fruit flavor, sweetness and aroma.

In the early days of Volcán, most of the cash crops such as fruits and vegetables were cultivated in this area, and only a relatively small number of farmers cultivated coffee. Among the pioneers of coffee cultivation in Volcán, the Hartmann family was quite famous in Panama.

Hartman Manor

Hartmann Manor has published two books on its bird-friendly, tree-lined cultivation and more than ten papers in scientific journals, demonstrating its reputation not only in the coffee world, but also in the scientific community.

Today, the estate continues to be run by the third generation of the family, Mr. Ratibor Hartmann and his four brothers and sisters, who share different roles on the estate and grow coffee for a living.

The Hartmann family also managed and processed coffee for many estates in Panama, such as Finca La Mula in Best of Panama and 90+ in Panama. Although the manor is very low-key, Best Of Panama rarely sees their figure, but their coffee is one of Panama's best, Panama coffee has today's fame, Hartman family credit.

Red wine treatment (also known as carbon dioxide treatment)

It is also called red wine treatment, inspired by the wine brewing process.

Red wine processing rules can be controlled by controlling pH, even temperature and humidity,

To ensure the quality of coffee beans, and closed fermentation makes aroma substances less volatile.

Carbon dioxide impregnation is a new treatment method applied in red wine treatment.

Coffee beans are removed from the pulp and then placed in stainless steel containers

Put it in carbon dioxide gas and make it oxygen-free.

Seal the fermentation tank so that more aroma can be developed.

Origin of red wine treatment

Traditional processing methods are difficult to control the variable fermentation degree of coffee beans. But red wine processing rules can control pH, even temperature and humidity, to ensure the quality of coffee beans, and closed fermentation makes aroma less volatile.

Red wine treatment of coffee beans, also known as quasi-red wine treatment, inspired by red wine brewing process. For example, there are eight estates in Colombia that have successfully introduced coffee beans with this treatment method to the market. According to the information of these eight estates, we can roughly divide the types of red wine treatment methods into acetic acid fermentation (Aerobic aerobic fermentation), lactic acid fermentation (Anaerobuic anaerobic fermentation) and mixed fermentation (Mix Fermentation=Aerobic+Anaerobuic).
