About Auromar Estate

Roberto Brenes founded the project in 2006 after a long career in finance. The Auromar Estate is a Brenes-Eleta family initiative, established to produce high-quality Geishas and other premium Arabica coffees in an eco-friendly and sustainable environment.

Auromar’s Finca La Aurora spans 30.5 hectares, with 14.5 hectares allocated for coffee cultivation in the lower elevations and the remaining 16 hectares preserved as a pristine highland tropical forest.

The cultivated area is designed to balance coffee production with forest conservation. Shade is provided by native tree species and high-altitude Hass avocado trees, creating a stable microclimate with minimal temperature fluctuations. 
 
The coffee cherries benefit from low humidity between December and January and the dry, sunny summer that lasts until mid-April. This combination of forest cover, shade, and late harvest produces limited-supply, highly complex coffee beans each season.

Auromar employs many workers from the Ngobe-Bugle indigenous group, offering them above-average wages and providing education, literacy, and technical training for adults, as well as after-school activities for their children. Since its inception, Auromar has been committed to improving working and living conditions for its employees. Auromar is a child labor-free enterprise.

In 2013, Auromar made its debut in the Best of Panama competition, where its Geisha Washed Ironman won first place in the Washed category. It achieved another first-place finish in 2016 with its Geisha Natural Camilina. Since then, Auromar’s Geisha has received numerous awards at the prestigious competition. Most recently, Auromar’s Geisha Washed Firestone secured first place at the 2022 Best of Panama.
