Variety:Geisha Process:Washed Region:Boquete, Panama Altitude:1700 meters above sea level Sensory profile:Apricot, chamomile, fig Producer information: Ricardo Koyner leads Kotowa, one of the most renowned producers in the highlands of Boquete, Panama. The farm was founded in 1913 by Canadian immigrant Alexander Duncan Macintyre, who named it “Kotowa,” a local word meaning “mountains,” in honor of the region’s cloud-covered landscape. Currently, the fourth generation —Ricardo and his daughter Victoria— manages nine farms under regenerative agriculture principles, with a strong commitment to sustainability and preserving the environment for future generations. Las Brujas is one of Kotowa's most emblematic plantations, renowned for its exceptional terroir and for producing highly expressive Geisha coffees. The farm has consistently won awards at the Best of Panama auctions since 2004. In 2025, Kotowa achieved outstanding results, with Silvia Marina placing 10th in Washed Geisha and Las Brujas placing 17th in Natural Geisha. This batch of Geisha washed coffee from Las Brujas reflects Kotowa's commitment to quality, innovation and excellence, offering a refined, elegant cup that is representative of the distinctive character of Boquete.

In 2016, after taking first place in the naturals category of the Cup of Excellence, they decided to go all in on the farm: bringing a scientific approach to cultivation and developing controlled fermentations with native microorganisms from their own coffee trees. Since then they have controlled every stage of the process to draw out the full potential of each variety and of their terroir. Today they grow more than ten varieties, work with technologies such as bioreactors, and share what they learn with other producers in the region. Their philosophy: tradition, innovation and excellence.
