La Berlina was founded by a Colombia soldier, Mr. Segundo Diaz was sent to Panama in the 1900s to resolve the issue of Panama's independence from La Gran Colombia. As a result, Panama became independent peacefully. These Colombian soldiers had two choices: one was to return to their own country with the army, and the other was to stay as Panamanian citizens. He chose to stay because he fell in love with Boquete and, more importantly, with the local girls. When his family settled down, he found a piece of high mountain land and began growing coffee. In 1920, the first coffee seeds were found in the surrounding wild rainforest nearby, and they believe that these coffee seeds may have sprouted into wild coffee trees after local animals "Jujunas"(monkeys) ate coffee pulp. In addition to coffee, they also raised cattle, pigs and corn on the land. In the 1930s, the coffee of Berliner Manor was already famous locally as a farm.
