Flavor description:

Dry aromas of wine, strawberries, peaches and citrus.

When sipping, the mouth is also dominated by wine, strawberry jam, grapes and peaches.

With citrus and floral aromas and chocolate in the finish.

The palate is smooth, full and balanced with aromas of wine and berries. The original meaning of Kotowa comes from the native language of Indians, and its meaning is "mountain". More than a hundred years ago, Alexander Duncan McIntyre (Alexander Duncan McIntyre) came to Panama. He was deeply attracted by the simplicity and beautiful environment of the people here. Since then, the family has grown coffee here, and it has been run by the fourth generation successor, Ricardo Koyner. Kotowa has a total of four coffee estates, namely Duncan Manor Finca Kotowa Duncan, Finca Kotowa Don K, Crystal River (Finca Kotowa R í O CRISTAL) and Finca Kotowa tradicional.

Don K Manor, about 1700-1750 meters above sea level, is located on the western side of the Pokuit producing area next to the Balu volcano, just opposite Duncan on both sides of the volcanic mausoleum line. Although it is the same producing area, the micro-climate on both sides of the canyon brings a completely different flavor to the coffee of the two estates. Cool and frost-free at night and dry and sunny during the day, it is deeply affected by the microclimate of the Pacific and Atlantic currents, with abundant rainfall and distinct dry and wet rainy seasons; in addition, lava in the volcanic zone is rich in minerals and fertile volcanic black nutrients are abundant. good drainage is also quite good, unique soil conditions.

During the harvest season, red-purple ripe cherries are carefully selected and treated with modern pulping equipment, and local natural and clean natural water sources are used to wash coffee berries and remove pulp. Compared with other treatment plants, each pound of raw coffee beans here uses only half a liter of water, saving about 10 to 20 liters of water, while pulp and waste water are reused as organic fertilizers. After natural drying, raw coffee beans are stored in a constant temperature warehouse of 45 degrees. After two months, the water content of raw beans will tend to be the same, the flavor will be more mature, and the aroma and taste will be more attractive. This mountain is the corner of Volcan Baru volcano.

Knowledge expansion: the whole of Panama should belong to Central America, growing the most varieties of countries, almost we can say the varieties, they have species. Except for geisha, they all have Kaddura, Kaduai, Tibica, Old Bourbon and Red Bourbon.
