Part of the historic Kotowa coffee estate, the farm honours the legacy of Alexander Duncan MacIntyre, whose passion for the region helped establish a family tradition of coffee cultivation spanning generations. Situated at high altitude, the farm benefits from cool temperatures, rich volcanic soils and a distinctive microclimate, creating ideal conditions for producing exceptional coffee. Careful cultivation and meticulous processing are central to the farm’s approach, allowing the unique characteristics of each harvest to shine. Depending on the processing method, coffees can express delicate floral aromas, bright citrus acidity, sweet berry notes and rich, ripe-fruit flavours. These complex profiles reflect the influence of Boquete’s environment, where elevation and climate contribute to the development of distinctive cup characteristics. Sustainability is also an important consideration, with coffee pulp reused as organic fertiliser and synthetic herbicides and insecticides avoided. Combining generations of experience with a commitment to quality, Finca Kotowa Duncan represents the excellence and heritage of Panama’s specialty coffee industry. PROCESS Grown on the lush highlands of Boquete, Panama, Finca Kotowa Duncan benefits from a distinctive mountain climate, with cool temperatures and rich volcanic soils that support the development of exceptional specialty coffee. The Maragogype varietal, renowned for its impressively large beans, brings a unique character to this carefully processed lot. For the natural process, ripe coffee cherries are selectively handpicked and dried whole, allowing the beans to absorb sweetness and flavour from the surrounding fruit as they dry. At Kotowa Duncan, natural coffees are traditionally sun-dried for approximately 18 days, encouraging the development of rich fruit character and aromatic complexity. Careful drying helps preserve the coffee’s quality while allowing its distinctive profile to emerge.

PROCESS This lot features the highly sought-after Gesha variety, celebrated for its aromatic complexity, elegance and delicate flavour potential. Originally from Ethiopia, Gesha gained international recognition through Panama’s specialty coffee scene and is now prized by producers and coffee enthusiasts worldwide. The coffee is processed using the honey method, in which some of the fruit mucilage remains on the beans after the skin and pulp are removed. During drying, this natural layer can contribute to sweetness, body and a rounded mouthfeel, while allowing the variety’s distinctive character to shine through. The combination of Gesha and honey processing offers an intriguing expression of Thai specialty coffee, bringing together a renowned variety and a method that can enhance the coffee’s natural sweetness and texture.

Producer - Gesha Village Block - Gaylee Origin - Ethiopia Process - Anerobic Honey Varietal - Geisha Altitude - 1931 - 2040 MASL Flavour Notes - Summer Fruits, Caramel, Honeysuckle roast level: Very Light FARM Gesha Village Coffee Estate lies in Ethiopia’s lush West Omo region, close to the Gori Gesha forest, the birthplace of the renowned Gesha coffee variety. Within the 471-hectare estate, the Gaylee plot sits on the southeastern side at around 1,916–1,982 metres above sea level. Named after the neighbouring Gaylee-Gesha community, the plot is planted primarily with the Illubabor Forest variety. Its high elevation, forest-rich environment and abundant rainfall contribute to coffees with remarkable complexity. Gaylee coffees are often characterised by vibrant fruit, floral and spice notes, with flavours such as lemongrass, hibiscus, jasmine, dried fruit and delicate sweetness PROCESS This process differs from their washed, honey, and natural processing. Before fermentation, freshly harvested cherries are washed and floated 2–3 times, with floaters mechanically removed and only ripe red cherries selected. The cherries are then soaked in clean, cold water for 2–3 hours before being depulped, leaving 100% mucilage on the beans. For fermentation, the producers prepare their own mossto a fermented coffee-fruit juice made by fermenting freshly harvested cherries in 5,000L plastic barrels for 72 hours. The pulped coffee is placed into 200L barrels, with mossto added at a ratio of 1L per 8kg of coffee. The coffee undergoes anaerobic fermentation for 84 hours before being dried in full sun for three days, then in shade until reaching 11% moisture.
