Don Pepe Estate Caturra Washed - 300g

Don Pepe Estate Caturra Washed — Volcancito, Boquete, Panama | 300g

Five generations of family passion. One beautifully balanced cup.

Since 1898 — making it the first coffee company in the history of Panama — Don Pepe Estate has cultivated exceptional specialty coffee on the slopes of Volcán Barú in the misty highlands of Volcancito, Boquete. Guided by the enduring legacy of the beloved Don Tony and the unwavering dedication of the Vasquez-Flores family, the farm has produced some of the finest and most celebrated coffees in the world across five generations of passionate farming.

The Don Pepe Caturra Washed is the farm's everyday specialty coffee — and a remarkable example of what extraordinary terroir and meticulous processing can do for a variety that the world often underestimates.

The Caturra Variety — Underrated and Outstanding

Caturra is a natural mutation of the Bourbon coffee plant — a compact, sun-tolerant Arabica variety that has been cultivated in the highlands of Panama for decades. In the hands of lesser farms it can be neutral and unremarkable. But in the hands of Don Pepe Estate — grown at 1,600 to 2,000 meters above sea level in rich volcanic soil, with cool mountain temperatures averaging 21°C and the famous Bajareque mist of Boquete — it becomes something quietly extraordinary.

As Coffee Review noted of Don Pepe's Caturra: "Balanced, resonant, subtly complete — the Caturra variety at its best."

What's in the cup?

The washed process — precise and meticulous, using Don Pepe's raised African drying beds — allows the Caturra's natural character to shine through with exceptional clarity. Only perfectly ripe red cherries are selected at harvest, ensuring full traceability and consistency from farm to your cup.

The result is a beautifully balanced medium roast with a profile that is sweet, clean and deeply satisfying. Tasting notes of maple, honey, citrus, and a gentle sweetness — with a smooth medium body, vibrant but gentle acidity, and a clean, resonant finish that rewards every sip.

This is the kind of coffee that earns its place in your daily routine — not through drama or complexity, but through quiet, consistent excellence that never disappoints.

A coffee for every brewing method

Don Pepe Caturra Washed performs beautifully across all brewing methods. For maximum sweetness and clarity try a pour over or V60. For a fuller, richer body go with a French press or Moka pot. It also pulls a naturally sweet and smooth espresso with excellent crema.

From the farm to your cup

Don Pepe Estate operates with its own fully equipped cupping lab and Q graders who verify quality before every shipment. The farm uses raised African drying beds for optimal, even drying — storing beans by variety and harvest date to lock in peak quality at every stage. Following Don Tony's environmental legacy, the farm has set aside 10% of its productive land to preserve the adjoining rainforest — because for the Vasquez-Flores family, quality and sustainability have always been inseparable.
