This coffee is grown on the volcanic slopes of Boquete, Panama, at the Kotowa Duncan farm, a fourth-generation family estate. Situated at an altitude of 1650-1750 meters, this Ethiopian Heirloom variety is processed using the natural method. The cup profile is characterized by expressive florals, ripe fruit sweetness, and elegant complexity, reflecting the unique terroir of the Boquete highlands.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
