The Kotowa Estate, Since 1913

Kotowa is one of Panama's most respected coffee names, founded in 1913 by Scottish-Canadian Alexander Duncan MacIntyre on the El Salto plateau of Boquete. Now in its fourth generation, the family has earned multiple Best of Panama awards and Panama's National Environmental Award for sustainable farming. Their commitment extends beyond the cup — Kotowa runs healthcare and childcare programs for farmworkers, recognized by UNICEF for nine consecutive years. This everyday Arabica reflects everything the estate stands for: precision farming, careful harvesting, and deep respect for the land.

Where the Coffee Grows

Grown at high altitude on the fertile volcanic slopes of the El Salto plateau in Boquete, Chiriquí. Cool temperatures year-round, rich volcanic soil, and consistent cloud cover slow cherry maturation, building the sweetness and depth that have made Boquete one of the world's most celebrated coffee regions.

Flavor Profile

A well-rounded, approachable cup with remarkable depth — notes of dark chocolate, toasted almond, brown sugar, and a clean citrus finish that balances richness with brightness in every brew.
