The Typica Variety — Coffee's Original Heritage

Typica is one of the two foundational Arabica varieties in the world (along with Bourbon) — the genetic root of nearly every coffee variety cultivated in the Americas. Originally from Yemen, it spread to the Caribbean in the 1700s and from there throughout Latin America. Today, pure Typica is increasingly rare because it produces lower yields than modern hybrids — but for farms that prioritize heritage and quality over volume, it remains the gold standard for a clean, elegant cup.

Four Generations of Boquete Coffee

The Gran Del Val story began in 1880, when French engineer Joseph De Dianous arrived in Panama to work on the French Canal Company. In 1914 his son Gabriel purchased land in Bajo Mono and founded Farm Gladys. Over a century later, the De Dianous-Fernandez family is still here, still farming, and in 1997 built Panama's first ecological coffee processing mill — pioneering sustainable specialty coffee in the region.

Where the Coffee Grows

Grown in the volcanic highlands of Boquete, Chiriquí — where the cool mountain climate, rich volcanic soil from Volcán Barú, and the famous Bajareque mist create the ideal microclimate for slow cherry maturation, especially well-suited to the elegant Typica variety.

Flavor Profile

Tasting notes: citrus, almond, hazelnut, white chocolate, and honey. Clean, smooth, and elegantly balanced — with a medium body, gentle acidity, and a long sweet finish. A heritage coffee that rewards attention but never feels intimidating.
