The Janson Story

The Janson story begins in 1926, when a 21-year-old Swedish immigrant, Carl Axel Janson, arrived in the highlands of Volcán, Panama and fell in love with the land on the slopes of the Tisingal and Barú volcanoes. In 1941 he established the family hacienda as a cattle farm, which eventually became one of the most respected coffee operations in the world. In 1990, Carl's sons — Michael, Carl, Ricardo, and Peter — officially established Janson Coffee, inspired by their father's lifelong dedication to quality. Their Geisha Washed took 5th place at Best of Panama 2023.

Where the Geisha Grows

Grown at 1,600–1,700 m.a.s.l. on the Los Alpes farm — named after the Swiss Alps in honor of the family's Swedish heritage. The Geisha beans develop exceptional complexity in the cool mountain air, rich volcanic soil, and natural mist of the Talamanca Mountain Range, adjacent to the UNESCO World Heritage La Amistad International Park.

Grown With Nature, Not Against It

Janson uses no pesticides or herbicides — instead maintaining soil health through enzyme microorganisms and preserving endemic flora as natural barriers around the farm. Only hand-selected, perfectly ripe cherries are processed, and the entire operation runs on solar energy.

Flavor Profile

The washed process, using natural spring water, produces a clean and brilliantly expressive cup. Expect a delicate, elegant profile with notes of jasmine, mango, stone fruit, and citrus, a silky tea-like body, and a long floral finish. Geisha at competition level.
