FARM

Barú Black Mountain is a specialty coffee farm located in the highlands of western Panama, on the slopes of Volcán Barú. The farm benefits from fertile volcanic soils, high elevations, and a cool mountain climate that create ideal conditions for producing high-quality coffee. Careful cultivation practices and a focus on sustainability allow the farm to showcase the unique characteristics of the region. The combination of altitude, climate, and rich natural resources contributes to coffees with exceptional complexity, balance, and sweetness. Barú Black Mountain is dedicated to preserving quality throughout every stage of production, from cultivation to harvest, ensuring that each lot reflects the distinctive terroir of Panama’s renowned coffee-growing landscape.

PROCESS

The washed process at Barú Black Mountain is designed to highlight clarity, brightness, and the intrinsic qualities of each coffee variety. After harvesting, ripe coffee cherries are carefully selected and depulped to remove the outer fruit. The beans then undergo fermentation, which helps break down and remove the remaining mucilage. Following fermentation, the coffee is thoroughly washed with clean water before being dried under carefully controlled conditions. By removing most of the fruit material before drying, the washed process emphasizes clean flavors, vibrant acidity, and a transparent expression of origin, allowing the farm’s terroir and varietal characteristics to shine in the final cup.
