The Baru volcano is not only the highest mountain in Panama, but the sediments created by early volcanic activity and eruption bring a large amount of very fertile soil, which is rich in nutrients, especially rich in phosphorus and sulfur, mixed with clay and unique climate patterns, making the region a suitable environment for the growth of high-quality coffee. Dense forests and a large number of species form the overall biodiversity.

About 50 coffee farmers here form a small cooperative, all of which produce coffee in the traditional way of Bogut-allowing it to grow in a near-natural environment. Although the yield is not high, it can maintain a rich ecological environment, and soil quality can be maintained or even improved. The natural planting method is not only beneficial to the environment, because the coffee fruit grows slowly, so it is easier to grow high-quality coffee beans with good flavor. Farmers harvest complete coffee berries by hand and send them to nearby Cafe de Eleta S.A. For post-processing, the treatment plant is about 4 kilometers away from the farm, and a modern laboratory is set up for cup test tube and manual screening.
