This is our fourth year working with Kai and Jannette Janson to bring coffees directly from their family farm, and we are so excited to bring you this year’s most recent harvest.
Janson Coffee is a family-run coffee planation located at Volcan Baru, in the Chiriqui region of Panama. It started in 1941, by Carl Axel Janson, an immigrant from Sweden. Years later, in the mid-1980s, the Janson family realized the land’s potential for coffee plantation after evaluating the soil with the help of agricultural engineers. Over the years, his passion was passed to his sons and grandchildren. The Janson farms are currently managed by both 2nd and 3rd generation family members to bring exceptional Panamanian coffees to the world.
Their two coffee plantations are located on the Talamanca Mountain Range on the slopes of Tizingal and Barú volcanoes. The first, Hacienda las Lagunas, is located at 1,350-1,400 masl, in the region of Volcán in the Tierras Altas District. The second, Los Alpes, was named after the Swiss Alps. This farm is located at 1,600-1,700 masl, in Tizingal, on the slopes of the Tizingal volcano in the Talamanca Mountain range of westernmost Panama. Both these areas have special microclimate conditions which allow them to produce high quality specialty coffee year on year.
This lot 598 gesha was grown at Los Alpes. It went through a natural process with 48 hours of fermentation in whole cherry, then sundried on patios and raised beds for 14 days. We enjoy this coffee for its high flavor clarity, reminding us of sweet blueberries and apple, with a long purple floral finish.
