PANAMA | Finca Hartmann | Mokka | Natural
The Hartmann family are one of Panama’s pioneers of specialty coffee. Their story starts two generations ago with Alois Hartmann, who settled in Panama in 1912. His son, Ratibor, established Finca Hartmann with 100 hectares of virgin rainforest he inherited from his father. Today, the land is shared by Ratibor’s five children. The rainforest has been preserved with the coffee grown under the shade of the canopy, and the family continues to plant native trees to ensure the ecosystem’s health. The land is famous for bird watching, with around 300 species recorded. It’s no surprise then that their coffee carries the Bird Friendly certification. This exceptional Mokka lot is very limited, with only 15kg produced. Mokka is a very old variety from Yemen and gets its name from the port of Mokha. It produces tiny cherries and seeds, ruling it out as a commercially viable variety, but it does present an exciting and complex flavor profile. The Mokka from Finca Hartmann is bright and juicy, with notes of passionfruit.
