Carmen Estate is located in the Volcan Valley, Chiriqui,Panamá, at an altitude of 1800 mts. They have been producing and exporting high quality Arabica coffee for over 50 years.
The coffee plants grow on steep hills, under century old rain forest vegetation and with natural springs and creeks crossing the property, providing a great habitat for local fauna.
Carmen takes care at every stage of harvesting and processing to maintain optimum results. Safe and healthy conditions for workers and their families and environmentally friendly production practices, like integrated pest management, soil conservation, protection of natural water resources, waste management and ecosystem conservation are all part of their contribution to sustainable farm management.
Carmen Estate offers a high consistency in the quality of their coffee year after year. One proof of this is the fact that they have been consistently placed in the top 5 in a number of specialty cupping contests for the past years.
