Growing regions

Chiriqui

1 coffee

Chiriqui Province in western Panama is the country's premier coffee-growing region, with farms situated at elevations between 1,200 and 2,800 meters above sea level on the slopes of Volcán Barú, benefiting from rich volcanic soils, cool temperatures, and a unique mist phenomenon known as "bajareque." The region is home to Panama's most celebrated sub-regions — Boquete, Volcán, and Renacimiento — producing world-renowned Geisha coffee alongside Caturra, Bourbon, and Catuai varieties. Chiriqui coffees are prized for their bright acidity, floral aromatics, and complex flavor profiles featuring notes of jasmine, citrus, and fruit, making the province the undisputed capital of Panamanian specialty coffee.

Bambito

Small district within the Volcán region at high elevation. Bambito coffees often display floral characteristics, bright clarity, and notes of citrus and stone fruit. The microclimate creates distinctive growing conditions.

Boquete

Renacimiento

Region bordering Costa Rica with pristine growing conditions. Renacimiento coffees often present bright acidity, medium body, and notes of tropical fruit and honey. The area maintains much of its natural forest ecology.

Santa Clara

Highland region with ideal climate and growing conditions. Santa Clara coffees typically feature balanced profiles with floral aromatics, citrus brightness, and elegant structure. The area attracts innovative producers experimenting with varieties and processing.
