    This is the second year we are offering coffee from the Mama Cata Estate in Panama and we are excited to have it back. The farm was established in 1997 by Jose David Garrido Perez who revamped the farms technology and made it the success that it is today. Before being purchased by Mr. Garrido it was owned by the Fisher family, including Catalina Fisher from whom the farm name was derived, where they focused on traditional coffee varietals such as Typica. For many years the washed Typica from Mama Cata scored very well in the Best of Panama competition, winning the traditional category three times and today continues to rank highly in competition in a variety of categories.

    While we are used to seeing Geisha showcased on its own, this lot is a blend of Typica and Geisha. The quality of this blend has been refined over the years with the modernization of the estate. The way that they identify lots at the estate is by GPS coordinates, a unique identification system compared to most surrounding estates. This allows the family to study information such as variety, soil composition, and production of each coffee tree in a given lot, which in turn enables them to effectively tailor each lot to produce the best quality and output of coffee possible. There is a major focus on harvesting only the ripest coffee cherries and the pickers are educated on proper ripeness rather than just picking all of the cherries from a given tree. Moreover, the patio drying of coffee is done according to weather patterns that are monitored by high-tech weather stations located at the wet mill.
