Named after the Caldera River which runs through the town of Boquete — one of Panama's coffee-growing regions in the Chiriquí province — Caldera Coffees’ journey began in Hong Kong when two Panamanian expatriates, Jaime and Michelle, realised that despite Hong Kong’s sophisticated coffee culture, very few people knew about the diverse and extraordinary beans produced in Panama's highlands.
After years of cultivating relationships with premium estates they officially launched in 2021, connecting specialty roasters with Panama’s finest producers.
Today, Caldera Coffees operates from both Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, serving Asian and European markets with carefully curated Panamanian coffees.

Michelle's love for coffee began with her father sharing coffee-dipped bread at the breakfast table. Growing up near Boquete, Panama's coffee paradise, she frequently visited its flower-filled highlands.
