Café Don Benjie Estate, which encompasses 33 hectares in the Highlands of Boquete, is situated in the Bajo Mono Canyon on the slopes of the Barú Volcano. The farm is adjacent to the pristine waters of the Caldera River, with the plantation’s altitude varying between 1,400 and 1,550 meters.

Bajo Mono is renowned as one of the premier regions for cultivating high-quality coffee, benefiting from volcanic soil, crystal-clear spring water, and the afternoon mist known locally as Bajareque. This unique combination creates microclimates that contribute to the area’s reputation for specialty coffee, including some of the finest Geisha varieties globally.

The De Dianous Family has been involved in coffee cultivation since 1914 when Gabriel de Dianous acquired the first coffee farm in Bajo Mono. Originally, Hacienda Bajo Mono was owned by Mrs. Archer, an American pioneer in Boquete. In the 1980s, the farm was purchased by Dr. Renan Esquivel, a prominent Panamanian paediatrician and nature enthusiast, who introduced various exotic trees, plants, and coffee varietals. These efforts are now being continued by the current owners, Jose Benjamin de Dianous G. and Stefan Arwed Müller, who have operated the farm since 2011, with a strong commitment to quality and environmental preservation.

We have a great relationship with Cafe Don Benjie. Ply used their coffee to win Canada Cezve Championship 2024.
