🍃 Cupping Notes

Green Tea・Citrus・Peach・Honey

Volcán Barú National Park in Panama is an ecological protected area. Early volcanic activity and eruptions created abundant and fertile soil from sedimentary materials, with volcanic ash rich in phosphorus and sulfur.

The region boasts 7 microclimates, and with year-round mist and abundant rainfall, it provides excellent growing conditions. Around 50 coffee farmers here form a small cooperative. During harvest season, they use traditional methods to process coffee cherries. Although the yield is not high, it ensures quality and maintains the ecological environment.
