Panama - Cuatro Caminos Catuai Rojo Natural

Cuatro Caminos is an estate led by Andrés López under Agronosotros. Their philosophy — Capital and Coffee Science — brings scientific rigor into harmony with social responsibility, shaping coffees that honor both people and place.

With seven farms across Panama’s renowned Boquete region, López produces several varietals chosen for their unique flavor profiles: Geisha, Catuai, Caturra, Typica, and Pacamara.

All of López’s coffees are grown on high-altitude slopes between 1,500–1,800 masl, where each cherry ripens slowly, gaining sweetness and depth. Once hand-picked, they are carried through natural and washed processes refined to conserve resources, and through proprietary innovations that unlock new flavor potentials.

Through his intentional methods, López and Cuatro Caminos live at the meeting point of stewardship and production. Each lot speaks not only of terroir and craft but of the families, ecosystems, and futures it supports.

Panama Geisha is a rare, delicate, and complex variety well-loved for its sweet florality and citrus highlights. Since its debut win at the Best of Panama auction in 2004, it has kept specialty coffee lovers everywhere captivated by its endless possibilities, delicacy, complexity, and clarity of flavors.

As such, it is often showcased on coffee competition stages by a great number of coffee champions, and it also continues to fetch the highest prices.

While a coffee’s truest intrinsic qualities are still largely believed to be showcased best by traditional washed processing due to the demucilaging, washing, and scrubbing steps removing all traces of fruit from the bean, the expertise of seasoned and passionate producers like Andrés Lopéz allows them to direct the flavor character of the Panama Geisha towards a seemingly endless diversity of delightfully surprising trajectories.

They do this through the purposeful implementation of traditional methods like the natural and honey processes, as well as intentional and innovative processing styles.
