DON PEPE ESTATE, Panama (Washed)

Don Pepe Estate – Boquete, Panama

Located in the Volcancito, Boquete area, Don Pepe Estate is one of Panama’s historic farms, founded in the 1890s. The mountain climate, high elevation, and volcanic soils give the coffees grown here a clarity and finesse that are hard to mistake. The farm has been run by generations of dedicated producers, with each lot handled carefully and with respect for the land.

Varieties – Caturra & Catuai

The combination of Caturra and Catuai brings a lovely balance of sweetness, structure, and aroma. These are two classic varieties for Panama, valued for their consistency and clean profiles, making them ideal for washed processing.

Processing – Washed

The washed method used at Don Pepe Estate emphasizes clarity and definition of flavor. The cherries are carefully selected, depulped, and fermented in water, then dried slowly to preserve freshness and transparency of flavor. This processing method highlights the origin’s natural elegance.

Tasting Notes

In the cup, you’ll find a comforting, well-structured profile: maple notes, chocolate, sweet touches of honey, all supported by a medium body, medium acidity, and high sweetness.

This is the kind of coffee that combines comfort with finesse, perfect for clear brews or smooth, balanced espresso.
