The Garrido family acquired the estate in 1997, and it was here that Geisha was first planted decades ago. The farm takes its name from Catalina Fitchet, wife of a previous owner. Originally part of a larger property that included what are now the neighboring Elida and Lerida estates, Mama Cata sits in the heart of Boquete's most prized coffee-growing territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Garrido family has been cultivating coffee in Boquete since 1959, when founder Teodoro Garrido established the family's first farm. Today the business is led by his two daughters, Gissell and Liliana, who continue pushing quality forward. It was also on Mama Cata where the family discovered the rare Mokkita variety — a unique cultivar that earned them back-to-back 1st Place wins at the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/best-of-panama-coffee\"\u003eBest of Panama\u003c\/a\u003e in 2020 (91 points) and 2021 (92 points).
