ABU COFFEE is located in the Cañas Verdes region of Boquete, characterised by a humid and rainy microclimate typical of tropical forests. The coffee trees thrive on the slopes of Volcán Barú National Park, where the soils are fertile, well-drained, and of volcanic origin, enriched with organic matter. The average elevation of the plantation is 1550 meters above sea level. Native trees provide shade for the coffee plants, coexisting harmoniously with the rich local flora and fauna, thereby promoting environmental sustainability and biodiversity. The plantation’s strategic geographic location ensures that sunlight plays a vital role throughout the cultivation process. It benefits from strong solar radiation, which is occasionally softened by a gentle tropical mist known locally as “Bajareque” during the mornings and evenings, along with the presence of thick fog. The harvest season commences in the summer, around December, and continues until March, coinciding with a decrease in humidity. This, combined with the natural shade and Bajareque mist, creates an ideal environment for the cherries to mature. Consequently, the cherries reach their full potential, enhancing the sugars and enriching the flavour of the beans. The pristine rainforests that encompass the ABU COFFEE plantations provide an exceptional climate, resulting in a unique blend of characteristics that make our Geisha and Catuai coffees distinctive, featuring intense, juicy flavours and aromatic floral notes. ABU COFFEE is named in honour of José Guillermo Luttrell Tedman, a third-generation coffee producer, and aims to fulfil his vision of creating the best-balanced coffee cup, specifically a Geisha cultivated to the highest quality standards. The name “ABU,” derived from “Abuelo,” meaning grandfather in Spanish, reflects the legacy of this visionary and passionate advocate for Boquete and specialty coffee, a legacy we strive to preserve for future generations.
