Life in the mountains of Panama’s Paso Ancho district moves at a calm, steady pace. There’s no rush here; everything simply unfolds as it was meant to. 

Coffee grows with that same easy energy at Carmen Estate Coffee, where time has always gifted them with amazing things — whether it was their founding in the 1960s by Efrain and Carmen Franceschi or their record-breaking score in the Geisha Washed category at the Best of Panama 2023.

Carmen Estate has gotten better with age. By refining their processing methods for richer, clearer flavor profiles, they’ve found a balance between modern innovation and the time-honored traditions that first brought them acclaim. This dedication ensures they remain a constant force in every competition, putting them in a remarkable spot among top Best of Panama producers

Every new technique and lot is a callback to their heritage, reflecting the farm’s unique proximity to the Chiriquí Viejo River, whose waters create the cool, nutrient-packed microclimate vital to award-winning Geisha. The delicate white florals that dot the mountainside and the bright citrus of sun-drenched days emerge beautifully in every sip of Geisha Washed Lot 6.

As our latest arrival from Carmen Estate Coffee, this is a warm, comforting cup that settles easily on the palate. An ideal companion for a season where the sun stays with us a little longer. 

Slow down and relax with us over a cup of Carmen Estate.
