Casalouis Family Bolina Manor La Berlina

Altitude: 1500 m

Harvest time: November-February of the following year, one harvest a year

La Berlina was sent to Panama by a Colombian soldier Mr. Segundo Diaz in the 1900s to solve the problem of Panama's independence from the La Gran Colombia. As a result, Panama became independent peacefully. These Colombian soldiers have two options: one is to return to their own country with the army, and the other is to stay as a national of Panama. He chose to stay because he fell in love with Boquete and, more importantly, local girls. When his family was stable, he found a high mountain and began to grow coffee.

In 1920, their first coffee seeds were found around the nearby wild rainforest. They thought the coffee seeds might be local animals "Jujunas" (monkeys). After eating the coffee pulp, the seeds everywhere germinated and grew into wild coffee trees. In addition to growing coffee, they also raise cattle, pigs and corn on this land. In the 1930s, coffee at Berlin Manor was already a famous local farm.

But when coffee prices plummeted for the first time a few years later, his son Don Manuel was forced to sell the life story of his father, Mr. Segundo Diaz, and leave the estate. In 1997, another negative economic factor, Casa Ruiz S.A., got a good chance to buy the estate and become a member of the company.
