Boquete
Boquete is a district of Chiriquí province on the western slopes of Volcán Barú. Its individual coffee lands are famous in their own right: Alto Quiel is home to Café Suarez and Café Palo Alto, Jaramillo to part of Hacienda La Esmeralda, and the hills above Boquete town to Lamastus Family Estates, Kotowa and Finca Lérida. The town of Boquete is also the main base for Panama's coffee tourism. Elevations on this site are reported per farm — the district's farms span a wide range.
Producers in Boquete (18)

Longboard Specialty Coffee
ProfessionalMicro-producer of award-winning organic Geisha coffee farming three small plots in Boquete — Misty Mountain, Windy Ridge and Fennario. Longboard grows, harvests, processes and roasts by hand under a forest-first philosophy it calls 'Wildynamic'. Its first private Geisha auction set records, and a second private auction of fourteen Misty Mountain Geisha lots (plus two peaberry lots) is scheduled for October 2026.
Finca Lérida
Founded in 1917 by Norwegian engineer Tollef Bache Mönniche — who had helped design the Panama Canal's emergency gates — Finca Lérida is one of Panama's oldest coffee estates and today combines a 900-acre working farm with a boutique hotel. In 1929, Mönniche exported the first shipment of Panamanian coffee to Germany; the estate's original wet mill and his patented siphon for separating good beans from damaged ones are still in use. The farm took 1st place in Geisha Natural at Best of Panama 2026 with 95.63 points.
Los Lajones Estate
Producer Graciano Cruz's estate sits adjacent to Volcán Barú National Park, where he has pioneered anaerobic processing — two-stage anaerobic fermentation, on-farm pulping, water recycling, and slow drying on African beds — alongside a dedication to conservation. The farm has placed multiple times at Best of Panama, including 7th place for a washed Gesha in 2025, and its lots are sold by leading specialty roasters in Europe.
Casa Ruiz (Café Ruiz)
A Ruiz family operation run today by siblings María and Plinio Ruiz, dedicated to growing traditional coffee varieties in Boquete. The family's Valley Coffee Shop anchors one of the town's longest-running coffee experiences — the roughly three-hour Complete Guided Visit — and its roastery sells Casa Ruiz coffees locally and online.
Finca Dos Jefes
A small, unique artisan coffee farm on the slopes of Volcán Barú in Boquete. Finca Dos Jefes runs one of the town's favorite coffee tours — a 2.5-hour walkthrough of coffee production from plant to cup, offered every day — and sells its 'Cafés de la Luna' coffees through the farm.
Finca La Mula
A small Geisha farm owned by Dutch-born coffee professional Willem Boot, located near the Boquete Valley. Its lots have been roasted and reviewed internationally — including by JBC Coffee Roasters via Coffee Review — and MAME Coffee has offered a Finca La Mula Geisha Natural Anaerobic in its subscription lineup.
Altieri Specialty Coffee
A family operation based in the Alto Quiel highlands above Boquete, on the flanks of Volcán Barú, growing Geisha, Typica, and Catuai. The Altieri family won the Varietals category at Best of Panama 2026 with 93.63 points — ahead of Hacienda La Esmeralda — and has placed in the competition multiple times since 2014. Coffee from their Mima Estate is roasted and sold by retailers in Panama and abroad.
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.
Hacienda La Esmeralda
PremiumHacienda La Esmeralda is the Boquete producer that put Panama Geisha on the world map: the variety's celebrated jasmine-and-stone-fruit character was discovered on its farms in 2004. The estate has since produced record-breaking microlots and has held its own annual online auction every year since 2007. Collections include Esmeralda Auction, Esmeralda Special (Geisha from above 1,950 m), Esmeralda Nano, Private Collection, Diamond Mountain (Catuai), and an exotic varietal range including SL-34, Laurina and Pacamara, plus cascara.
Lamastus Family Estates
PremiumLamastus Family Estates produces coffee on three Boquete estates — Elida, El Burro and Luito — drawing on a century of family coffee tradition. The family runs farm tours and cuppings at Elida, a green-coffee sampling program for buyers, and its own private auction. Its Elida Geisha Natural Vuelta lot set a then world-record price at the 2024 Best of Panama auction.
Kotowa Coffee
Kotowa is a family of Boquete coffee farms named for the indigenous word for 'mountains', honouring family patriarch Alexander Duncan Macintyre, who began the family's coffee activity. The estate grows a selective range of fine varieties. A guided coffee tour of its Finca Río Cristal at 1,700 m — visiting plantations of the different varieties — is bookable through partner operator Boquete Tree Trek.
