Kotowa Farm, located at the foot of the Baru Volcano in western Panama, is a historic farm that was opened in 1918 by Mr. Mclntyre.

Using the abundant water flowing from the volcano, they built a hydroelectrically powered coffee selection facility, and began everything from cultivation to selection and drying under natural conditions.

Ricardo Koyner, the fourth generation and current owner of the farm, is highly regarded around the world as a leading export on specialty coffee cultivation in Panama.

It has won awards at numerous competitions, and the “Kotowa” name is well known as a brand.

Furthermore, in order to protect Boquete’s beautiful nature and people’s lives, we have planted more that 500 fruit trees in the surrounding area, reduced water use and protected untouched forests. We are putting a lot of effort into this.

“Finca” is a word that means “farm”

The farm, located on the eastern slopes of Baru Volcano, overlooks the distant Pacific Ocean on one side and the rugged mountains near the Continental Divide on the other. The region’s unique combination of weather conditions creates unique and complex flavours.

In 2006 and in 2021, 2022, 2023, The National Environment Agency presented Kotowa Coffee as the winner of The Panama National Award for “The Years Environmentally Cleanest Industry”. They provide free medical attention for their workers, and for the children they have a nursery with meals and a school program. Kotowa’s social programs for the children and families producing this great coffee has earned them recognition from UNICEF nine years in a row.
