Hartman is probably the most famous coffee family in Panama. Old Hartman Ratibor Hartmann Troetsch inherited his father's coffee business in Santa Barbara, the Volca producing area, and established Hartman Manor in 1940. It can be said that Hartman Manor is the pioneer and representative of Volcan coffee producing area.

The earliest coffee trees in Panamanian history were introduced in the 19th century by an English captain who married a Panamanian girl (Rosa Coffee was introduced to Panama in the mid-20th century). They first grew coffee in coastal areas. later, the colonists introduced coffee to the valleys of the western highlands where coffee was more suitable for growth.

The microclimate there is particularly suitable for the growth of coffee, high altitude, and the monsoon effects of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The fertile ash and natural shade under Mount Baru provide unique conditions for coffee to realize its maximum potential.

Later, many different varieties were introduced to Panama from all over the world, including Rosa.

Panama's success in growing coffee has not always been as brilliant as it is now, and it has taken a lot of time from the introduction of coffee to finding a suitable development path for the country.

For quite a long time, Panamanians did a lot of experiments to cross coffee varieties in order to get higher yields. In recent decades, great changes have taken place in the coffee industry in Panama.

Land prices in Panama have skyrocketed because of overseas "hot money" inflows and increased immigration, and the coffee market has been flooded with low-quality coffee from countries such as Brazil and Vietnam, which are cheaper than local ones.

In order to be more competitive, Panamanian farmers realize that selling coffee is no longer enough and that more needs to be done.

So there's the ever-growing Panamanian coffee industry that we're seeing now.
