Producers growing Pacamara
Finca Auromar
Roberto Brenes' farm on steep slopes above Volcán — a former head of the Panamanian stock exchange who farms his wife's family land. Roastmasters, whose buyer judges at Best of Panama, has bought Auromar's Geisha and Pacamara across multiple seasons; the 2025-26 Pacamara Natural was in stock as green coffee at $15.48/lb.
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.
Janson Coffee Farm
Janson Coffee Farm is a family estate in Volcán, Chiriquí. Janson Farms began in 1926 when Swedish immigrant Carl Axel Janson settled in Volcán, and the family later formally founded Janson Coffee. The farm grows green-tip Geisha, Catuai, Caturra and Pacamara, combining updated technology with artisanal drying, and runs worker welfare programs including housing, a food and clothing cooperative, healthcare and educational funding. It operates a coffee shop and guided tours with views of Volcán Barú, and has competed repeatedly in Best of Panama.
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.

ProfessionalFinca Hartmann is a third-generation family enterprise in Santa Clara, Renacimiento, Chiriquí. The property consists of two farm sections — Santa Clara Finca Hartmann and the smaller Palo Verde section — where the family grows volume varieties including Caturra, Catuai and Pacamara alongside shaded, forest-grown lots. Its coffee is roasted and sold internationally by specialty roasters; no official farm website is currently verifiable.
