Panama: Janson Farms Geisha, Volcan Highlands

This Panama Geisha comes from Janson Coffee Farm in the Volcan highlands of Panama, set in the Talamanca Mountain Range near the Tisingal and Baru volcanoes. The farm is a family owned hacienda established in 1941 by Carl Axel Janson, with a long standing focus on quality driven production. The approach on the farm emphasizes environmental care and long term stewardship. They avoid pesticides and herbicides, and instead focus on soil health through nutrient balance supported by enzyme micro organisms. Energy use is addressed through solar panels, and the farm reuses excess matter from processing as fuel and fertilizer to reduce waste. The operation also supports reforestation by planting forest seeds in a nursery, a practical step toward protecting water resources and maintaining the surrounding ecosystem. This lot is washed and processed using natural spring water, and the farm’s processing plant, built in 1993, was designed specifically for specialty coffee. The facility combines updated technology with artisanal methods to support consistency and precision. Grown at 1,350 to 1,700 masl and roasted light, this coffee is positioned for clarity and elegance, with a refined structure that suits careful filter brewing and a modern, lighter espresso style.
