The Story

Finca Esther & Minerva is part of MásCafé Panama coffee farms in Boquete Panama located in the Chiriqui Province district of Boquete at 1550 Mts. The farm is led by Martin Santos Chavez and Esther Leung, who are at the forefront of innovation in processes such as yeasts, carbonic macerations, fermentations and slow drying.

Nested on the slopes of the Baru volcano, the conditions and diversity of the ecosystem create a unique terroir for growing coffee. Martin start’s by harvesting only the ripe coffee cherries, he then puts them through a flotation process to discard all the empty beans and unripe cherries. The ripe cherries once separated are macerated for one day in the lowest oxygen environment. Then they’re taken to the coffee beds to begin their drying for a period of 22-25 days. Monitored throughout turned periodically to promote even drying. After this period the coffee is processed in the dry mill, it is classified once more manually to discard coffee beans with defects.

I began speaking with Martin across Instagram in 2021, exchanging samples and was blown away by the flavour of his coffee. Now in 2024, I’m really excited to continue to work with Martin and Esther for the 2nd year purchasing 8x more than 2023. Perhaps the most unique part of our partnership is that it’s truly direct-trade. Something that we don’t see from many other roasters, who use importers to mitigate the risk financially and organise logistics. This is part of 5 different lots from Mascafe Panama and is definitely our biggest release of the coffee calendar year.
