Story

The Paso Ancho Valley, nestled at 1400-1800m above sea level within Panama's Baru Volcano region, is home to some of the country’s most vital coffee estates. Paso Ancho estates acquire coffee cherries from various small shareholders who cultivate the prized geisha variety. The valley's climate, with cool, frost-free nights and bright, sunny days, offers ideal growing conditions, further enhanced by the expertise of Jean and Carlos from Franceschi Coffees. 

Jean and Carlos’ unique partnership empowers small producers to consistently deliver exceptional harvests. Franceschi Coffee's distinctive approach, known as Long Play Coffee (LPC), revolves around extended temperature-controlled fermentations. Depending on the desired outcome, they experiment with long anaerobic temperature control or gradual dehydration, preserving the terroir's natural characteristics. Their ultimate goal is to craft captivating coffees that faithfully reflect their origin.
