Arturo Guerra, brother of Finca El Pergamino’s owner, Yaneth De Lucich, founded Alto Bambito as a passion project in the highlands of Bambito, Volcán, Panama.

While the estate cultivates several coffee varieties, Arturo has devoted himself entirely to honey processing, believing the method best expresses both the character of the coffee and the exceptional terroir of Bambito. Arturo personally oversees how every harvest is processed as a honey lot — a reflection of his dedication to craftsmanship.

Perched between 1,900 and 2,100 masl, Alto Bambito benefits from distinctive microclimates that encourage slow cherry maturation and exceptional cup quality.

Coffee beans are only harvested at peak ripeness, but Alto Bambito’s intervention does not end there. The beans are dried outdoors on raised mesh beds beneath the open sky, relying on the natural mountain climate rather than intensive mechanical intervention. This gentle approach preserves the clarity and elegance of the farm's high-altitude terroir, producing coffees layered with delicate florals, ripe stone fruits, and a lingering honey-like sweetness.

- Ready your brewing tools ahead.
- Keep your coffee gear and containers clean.
- Decide and adjust your grind size based on:
— Your coffee’s roast date
— Your brewing method
- Be consistent with water quality and measuring weight, ratios, and time.
- Remember!
— Let your palate help you personalize the best recipe for you.
— Brew often and have fun!
