Don Pachi Estate

Don Pachi Estate is a Boquete farm founded in 1873 and widely described as Panama's oldest coffee farm. Don Pachi Serracín is credited with bringing the Geisha variety to Panama from CATIE in Costa Rica in 1963, seeking rust-resistant varieties; his son Francisco is described as having detected its distinctive cup character in 2003. The estate grows one of Panama's widest variety ranges, from Typica and Bourbon to Geisha and Java, between 1,350 and 1,600 m. Roasted Don Pachi lots are sold in Panama through Café & Aroma.
