La Gloria Estate is one of several “Baru Indian High” estates in Boquete’s Horqueta subregion. These estates benefit from altitudes reaching 2000 meters at their peak, nutrient-rich volcanic soils, mild average temperatures, and ideal annual rainfall.
La Gloria has access to natural spring water that flows through the area, useful at the farm and around the estate, and also a direct water source for local farmers.
The coffee is wet-processed and patio dried in the much warmer climate of Dolega, Cosecha nearby. There is some mechanical “finish” drying in order to keep up with production during the busiest times of the harvest too. Preparation of the green coffee is meticulous a benefit for roasting, making for uniformity in color, and easy to read degree of roast.
