The Garrido family have been growing coffee in Boquete, Panama since 1959, when Teodoro Garrido established the families first farm. In the mid-1970s, Teodoro expanded the family business and purchased another existing farm. Originally established in 1911, making it one of Boquete’s oldest coffee farms, and now named after the previous owner, Mama Cata is home to the best of the Garrido family’s geisha.  

Toña is the name of the highest section of the farm, where this lot was grown, and is also home to many of the Garrido family’s competition winning coffees, having placed in the top ten, in all three Best of Panama categories (Geisha Washed, Geisha Natural, & Varietal) multiple times. For this ASD Natural, cherries were fermented in sealed tanks, with little oxygen, before being dried on raised beds.  This geisha is sweet and creamy, with notes of honey and cascara (dried coffee cherry). 

How to Drink: Just like you wouldn't add soda your best whiskey, this amazing coffee is meant to be drank black with no sugar or cream.
