About Panama Santa Teresa Estate
La Finca Santa Teresa is located in the micro region of Piedra Candela, specifically high in the area known as Santa Clara. The property contains approximately 450 hectares in total, with 120 hectares of coffee production. Their varieties consist of Catuai, Caturra, and Typica and all production is above 1500 meters.
This coffee will not shock you with acidity, nor overwhelm you with any one-word description but its refreshingly sweet, clean (the mill is one of the cleanest I have ever been to) and balanced cup.
