ABU Coffee is located in the Cañas Verdes region of Boquete, defined by a humid, rain-kissed microclimate characteristic of Panama’s lush tropical forests. The coffee grows along the slopes of Volcán Barú National Park at an average elevation of 1,550 meters above sea level, rooted in fertile, well-drained volcanic soils rich in organic matter. Native shade trees canopy the plantation, allowing coffee to coexist harmoniously with the surrounding flora and fauna while actively supporting biodiversity and environmental sustainability. Its privileged geographic position ensures abundant solar radiation throughout the growing season, gently moderated by the region’s signature tropical mist — known locally as Bajareque — and rolling fog that settles in during mornings and evenings. Harvest begins in December and extends through March, aligning with the drier summer months. The combination of reduced humidity, natural shade, and Bajareque mist creates ideal conditions for slow, even cherry maturation. This extended development enhances sugar concentration and deepens the complexity of flavour within the beans. Encircled by pristine rainforest, ABU Coffee produces distinctive Geisha and Catuai lots celebrated for their intense juiciness, layered sweetness, and expressive floral aromatics. Named in honour of José Guillermo Luttrell Tedman — a third-generation coffee producer — ABU (from Abuelo, meaning grandfather) embodies his vision of crafting impeccably balanced coffees, particularly Geisha cultivated to the highest quality standards. His legacy, rooted in passion for Boquete and specialty coffee, continues to guide the pursuit of excellence for generations to come.
