Wild Cats & Wondrous Coffee
Flying Pumas: Coffee’s Living Landscape
Wild cats and exquisite coffee wonderfully thrive together in the ecological sanctuary Flying Pumas has cultivated in the mountains of Volcan, Chiriqui.
Adjacent to La Amistad Natural Park, Flying Pumas revived a once-deforested landscape into a thriving habitat for Panama Geisha and native shade trees with cultivation methods respectful of the Ngöbe-Buglé community’s indigenous practices. Their work sustains a symbiotic relationship between coffee production, the ecosystems that enable it, and the majestic, wild creatures whose only home is the highland forest.
It is an approach that heeds what Felipe Sardi, Joel Villalita, and the Flying Pumas team recognize as millennia of ecological intelligence — held and continuously generated by the Volcan cloud forest, and that has paved the way for repeated recognition among the Best of Panama auction lots. In 2026, their Geisha Washed placed 17th in its category, building on their 15th-place finish in the same category in 2025.
New in our Competition Series, experience the wonder of nature’s genius expressed in a remarkable range by Flying Pumas Panama Geisha.
Both redolent with elegant florals and made lively by layers of uplifting citrus, each Hybrid Washed lot brings a distinct experience of sweetness and mouthfeel — FPNLG26049 presents as clean and refreshing, while FPNLG26018 is more candy-like and velvety.
In Honey Anaerobic FPBLG26059, pronounced florality persists alongside stonefruit succulence, citrus brightness, and a honeyed sweetness, while Natural Anaerobic FPNLG26051 turns toward a more tropical, candied, and desert-like character balanced by crisp citrus.
Discover the coffees shaped by this remarkable highland sanctuary, where nature’s ingenuity transforms into flavor profiles that tap into our childlike wonder. Get your share here.
