Tasting Notes

Description

Our Pearls collection showcases extraordinary coffees. From rare varieties to unique processing methods, these coffee have something special to make them stand out. Just like a pearl from the ocean, these coffee beans are delicate and beautiful beyond words. Today, Panama is known for their high-end coffees, including the renowned Gesha variety. However, not all coffee producers can thrive due to a lack of financial support and access to infrastructure. This is where Cuatro Caminos steps in. Founded in 2014, Cuatro Caminos is an organization which operates in Boquete, West Panama, currently with 45 coffee farmers. It uses a micro-funding model to support its long-term mission, which is to revitalize underperforming farms and to transform them into artisan specialty coffee producers. A core mission of Cuatro Caminos is to make Boquete’s coffee industry sustainable. Beyond ensuring economic viability, the organization prioritizes environmental and social responsibility. It reserves up to 20% of net profits from farming operations - shared with investors - to fund infrastructure improvements such as electricity, running water, and gas. Additionally, Cuatro Caminos enhances working conditions by providing modern equipment, clothing, and other daily essentials to improve the lives of coffee farmers. The organization also goes beyond government-provided social services, seeking out remote farmers with strong coffee potential and leading them to success. Cuatro Caminos is a blend of skills, capital, human resources, and expertise, all dedicated to enhancing the quality of the final product. This commitment has helped propel Panama’s coffee industry onto the global stage. This lot of natural process Gesha was harvested from Horqueta 1, a 9.3-hectare farm at 1,500 meters above sea level. Acquired in 2015 as raw land, it was developed from scratch with a diverse range of Arabica varietals, including Gesha, Typica, Pacamara, and later San Ramon in 2019. The farm features worker housing on site, and a satellite nursery supplying seedlings to the Horqueta region, using biodegradable pellets to promote sustainable cultivation. Additionally, a hydraulic ram system was implemented to provide a constant water supply from an on-site river for farmers and their families. The coffee has a sweet citrus notes of orange, tropical notes of pineapple, and floral like rose.
