Walken producing area of Panama

When it comes to coffee producing areas in Panama, many people may think of Boquete for the first time. But in recent years, many excellent estates in the Volcan producing area, also close to Volcan Baru, are often active in the BOP raw bean competition (Best Panama).

The Walken region is located in the area of the Baru volcano. The producing area bears the sea breeze entered by the Atlantic Ocean due to the topographic gap, and the undulating terrain creates a rich and changeable microclimate. Often one side of the sun, the other side of the rain hanging a rainbow; one side is calm, while the other side is jittery. Hartman Manor is 1300-2000 meters above sea level, with a tropical jungle nature reserve on one side and a Costa Rican border on the other. The unique alpine microclimate is very suitable for growing coffee.

In the early days, most of the Walken area grew cash crops such as fruits and vegetables, while coffee farmers accounted for only a small number. The pioneers of coffee planting in Walken are the Hartman family, which is well-known in Panama. The Walken region has less annual rainfall than Poquette, while the geographical environment west of Mount Baru and growing with a variety of fruits give coffee a stronger fruity flavor, sweetness and aroma.

Hartman family

Hartman Manor (Finca Hartmann) was founded in 1940, has been founded for more than a hundred years, and now the owner of Hartman Ratibor Hartmann is the third generation of head. The first ancestor of the Hartman family, Alois Strasil Hartmann, first reclaimed the coffee growing area in the Walken region of Panama, and then the second generation Hartmann Troetsch moved the coffee cultivation to the Santa Clara producing area and officially founded Hartman Manor.

The Hartman family has a reputation not only in the coffee industry, but also in the scientific community. They have not only published books on birds and shade cultivation, but also more than ten papers have been published in sci-tech journals. Out of protection and respect for nature, the Hartman family also tried to preserve most of the trees in the garden. As the area expanded, Hartman planted a large number of native tree species and plantains as shade trees in the garden. As a result of woodland conservation, there are quite a number of native birds in the manor, and the most famous big-billed bird in the area has naturally become the standard Logo of the manor.

The Hartman Manor brand has two estates: Santa Clara Farm (Santa Clara) and Water Eye, which is famous for its sustainable farming practices and biodiversity. The planting soil here is nutrient-rich volcanic soil, and towering pristine rainforest trees can provide good shade for coffee trees. At present, Hartman Manor is handled by the five children of Hartmann Troetsch, and the eldest Ratibor and Kelly are responsible for planting, breeding, fertilization and other important work related to coffee quality in the park, which is the soul of Hartman Manor. For example, Ninety Plus (90 +)'s estate in Panama and mule estate (Finca La Mula-) are managed by the Hartman family.

Rosesia variety

At first, the rose variety was introduced into Panama as an improved variety, but it was not popular with farmers because of its low fruit yield and low-altitude flavor. Until the Emerald Manor unearthed its charm and took it to compete in the best Panama competition in 2004. It shows rich flower and fruit aromas of berries, citrus and bergamot, thus forming a very typical Panamanian rose summer flavor.

This time, the rosy summer coffee started from Hartman Manor in the front street adopts the method of anaerobic solarization. In order to present the compound flower and fruit notes of rose summer, Qianjie coffee chooses medium and light roasting.
