Flying Pumas Coffee

Beyond a mere coffee farm, Flying Pumas champions biodiversity, converting pastures into a blend of coffee plants and native trees nurtured by our unique soil, shaped by volcanic activity and diverse microclimates. Nestled at elevations of 1750 to 1900 meters, our region hosts diverse ecological life, including majestic big cats in La Amistad Natural Park. The Ngöbe-Buglé community's agricultural expertise is pivotal to our operations, while Los Pozos' thermal waters add to the area's allure. Our vision extends to creating a 180-hectare sanctuary that harmonizes nature, conservation, regeneration, and sustainable coffee cultivation. Located at a mid-elevation point of the farm, very close to Quebrada Los Pozos, in the Volcan region of Chiriqui, in Panama, on a hill heavily affected by strong seasonal winds at the beginning of the year. It represents one of our greatest regeneration challenges, which we have been progressively overcoming. The extreme weather conditions generate significant natural stress on the plants, potentially leading to unique responses in both yield and cup profile. Situated at an average altitude of 1800 meters above sea level, the farm fosters the development of high sugar concentrations in the coffee cherries, yielding coffees with intricate flavor profiles.
