Panama Kotowa Duncan Organic

Panama Kotowa Duncan Organic is a coffee we've had a few times in the past that we are pleased to offer again.

The Kotowa farm, in its third generation, has several outstanding plots of land. The plot where Duncan is grown is organically maintained and certified as such, and this holds throughout processing. We have had the pleasure of visiting Kotowa's farms, their old wetmill and their wonderful home, overlooking the beautiful Boquete mountainside and the Baru Volcano. Ricardo Koyner owns coffee shops too, located throughout Panama City and elsewhere in Panama, so much of Kotowa's production is used at home, reducing exportable quantities. In 2016 Cafe Kotowa was awarded the 3rd edition of the Best Producer Panama Cup which recognizes the producer whose coffees make it to the final round of each category in the Best of Panama competition.

An excellent value for a coffee with pedigree. Arrived packed in Grainpro bags.
