About Finca Los Cantares
Located in Paso Ancho, Tierras Altas district (Spanish for “Highlands”), Finca Los Cantares has been in operation since 1929 under various owners, and it’s been at the helm of Jackie Mercer Vallarino since 1994. The 54-hectare coffee estate is surrounded by primary forests, with the Chiriqui Viejo river flowing through it. The name “Los Cantares” (which means “The Songs”) is fitting, as the estate is a sanctuary for a diverse variety of birds, whose songs fill the air.

Their first-ever geisha harvest won first place at the Best of Panama (BoP) back in 2012, and in 2018 its geisha washed and traditional natural process won second and third place respectively.

The farm had a two-year harvest hiatus brought by the Covid pandemic, kickstarting production again in 2022.
