Panama Catuai

The coffee comes from the Vicala family farm in the El Salto region of Boquete, Panama, near the Barú Volcano. The farm is run by Laura Suárez, who, together with her family, continues the coffee tradition of her parents, Vidal Suárez and Eira Gutiérrez de Suárez. They started growing coffee in the late 1940s on the Camiseta farm at an altitude of approximately 1,700 m above sea level.

Today, the Suárez family operates the Camiseta, Los Limones, and Doña Eira farms under the Grupo Vicala project. These farms are located at an altitude of 1,500–1,780 m above sea level, in a cooler mountainous climate with temperatures around 13–22 °C. It is precisely the volcanic soil, high altitude, and the family's meticulous work that give the coffees from this area their pure origin, distinct character, and elegant flavor profile.
