My friend and I stumbled across this coffee farm partly by accident. We were looking for a small place and are very glad we found this one in our search. Arrangements were quick and easy via WhatsApp. The owners even offered to pick us up in Alto Boquete before our tour - a necessity for us because we didn't have a car.
When we showed up, we were greeted by two friendly dogs (Karma and Dante) and our guide, Enrique. He was an absolute delight, from start to finish! I actually can't say enough good things about Enrique. His English is impeccable, his knowledge of coffee production is impressive, and he has a wonderful sense of humour as well. He showed incredible patience, pausing to allow the French couple on our tour to translate his explanations and encouraging their three-year-old to participate in the production process too.
The tour was a happy surprise, with hands-on elements from coffee picking to roasting. They even included a sealed sample of coffee, roasted to your preference. And, the tour finished with a coffee tasting, brewed three different ways, as well as the special Geisha coffee.
Plus, things worked out so that Andi was able to give us a lift back to downtown Boquete, and we were able to learn even more about her and her family and their lives in Panama.
You have an amazing place, Andi and Rick, and deserve every 5-star rating you have earned! Thanks so much!
