Panama Don Benjie Bellavista

Café Don Benjie is a 33 hectare farm in Bajo Mono, Boquete, on the slopes of Volcán Barú. The de Dianous family has been producing coffee in Boquete since 1914, with Stefan Arwed Müller and José Benjamín de Dianous operating the farm together since 2011. The estate grows multiple arabica varieties and processes coffees as individual lots, using its own natural spring water for washed coffees.

This Bellavista lot gesha is grown at 1550 metres and processed using Don Benjie’s Temperature Control Room washed method. Oxidation and fermentation take place in a temperature controlled room maintained below 20°C, allowing the processing conditions to be controlled more precisely before washing and drying.
