ABU COFFEE is a Geisha varietal cultivated in the region of Canas Verdes, Boquete, in a humid and rainy microclimate typical of the tropical forest. Coffee trees are grown on the slopes of the Volcan Baru National Park, which are fertile,well-drained, volcanic origin, and deep soils enriched with organic content.The average altitude is 1550 meters above sea level. The shade protecting the plantation is given by native trees that grow in harmony with abundant local Nora and fauna, respecting the environment and biodiversity. Given its strategic geographic location, sunlight is a crucial element throughout the whole process. The plantation receives powerful solar radiation, interrupted in the mornings and sunsets by a soft tropical mist known locally as “Bajareque” and caressed by thick fog.Harvest season begins in summer, approxi- mately in December and extends until March, months when the humidity drops, which, com- bined with the natural shade and the Bajareque mist, achieves the perfect balance for the matu- ration process. As a result, the cherries develop their maximum potential, optimally intensifying the sugars, and enriching the bean’s Navor.The virgin rain forests where the ABU COFFEE plantations lie within make of its climate an ex- traordinary condition to achieve a unique com- bination of characteristics that make our Geisha one-of-a-kind coffee with personality, in- tense juicy Navors, and aromatic Noral notes.
THE STORY BEHIND
ABU COFFEE was named to honor the memory of José Guillermo Luttrell Tedman, the third generation of coffee producers, and to continue his dream of achieving what he considered the best-balanced coffee cup; a Geisha raised with the highest standards of quality.
That is why “ABU” (short for Abuelo, grandfather in Spanish), as his grandchildren used to call him, represents thelegacy of this visionary and passionate lover of Boquete and specialty coffee that we want to preserve for the gener- ations to come.
