Best of Panama 2022 | 1st Place Winner | Natural Geisha | Black Jaguar | Finca Guarumo The Hartmann family are considered one of the pioneers of specialty coffee production in Panama. Their story starts two generations ago with Alois Hartmann, who settled in Panama in 1912 all the way from the historical region of Moravia, today a part of the Czech Republic. His son, Ratibor Sr, established what we know of today as Finca Hartmann with 100 hectares of virgin rainforest he inherited from his father in the 1960s. Today, the land is shared by Ratibor and Dinorah’s five children: Ratibor Jr, Allan, Alexander, Aliss, and Kelly. 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, and their coffee is bird-friendly certified. Photographs and videos don’t really prepare you for how beautiful it is when you
