What the Brand Says
Last year’s Carmen Estate offering was one of our favourite Panama’s of last year - tropical with notes of bergamot and jasmine, a really good Gesha. This year’s offering is laced with what feels like an expensive rose water, warm honey, and peach - delicate and beautiful.Carmen Estate takes its name from Mrs Carmen Franceschi, the estates’ first owner along with her husband Efrain. For almost 20 years now the estate has been producing exceptional quality coffees and consistently scoring high in the Best of Panama competition. Sitting at an altitude of 1800 masl within the Volcan valley of Chiriqui, the farm is now owned and managed by Carmen and Efrain’s grandson Carlos, the third generation to take the helm.Last year’s Carmen Estate offering was one of our favourite Panama’s of last year - tropical with notes of bergamot and jasmine, a really good Gesha.
