{"product_id":"panama-kotowa-duncan-estate-ethiopian-heirloom-natural","title":"Panama - Kotowa Duncan Estate Ethiopian Heirloom | Natural","description":"\u003cp\u003eKotowa Coffee was established in 1918 by Canadian immigrant Alexander Duncan. The name \"Kotowa\" comes from the indigenous Ngäbe-Buglé language, meaning \"mountain,\" reflecting the estate's highland location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the estate is managed by Alexander Duncan's descendants, with Richard Koyner, a member of the Duncan family, playing a key role in its operations. Richard, whose mother was a Duncan, has continued the family tradition of producing specialty coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate's farms sit in the volcanic highlands of Boquete, Chiriquí, on the slopes of Volcán Barú, Panama's highest point. Volcanic soil, altitudes of 1,650 to 1,800+ masl, temperatures of 13 to 22°C, and a dual-ocean rainfall pattern (Pacific rain from May to November, Atlantic rain from December to January) shape the growing conditions there. Along with varietals like Geisha, Caturra, and Typica, Kotowa also grows rare Ethiopian wild varieties, including the Ethiopian Heirloom in this lot. Cherries are handpicked, with harvesters returning up to five times per season to select only the ripest fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePly and Rogue Wave Coffee have had the incredible opportunity to visit the Kotowa Duncan Estate, where we were blown away by the complexity and care that went into every coffee the farmers produced. Ply returns yearly to reconnect and source Geisha lots that capture the depth and character of the terroir. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommendation:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResting time: 3-4 weeks\u003cbr\u003eFilter brew: 1:16-16.5, 92c \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rogue Wave Coffee","offers":[{"title":"200g","offer_id":63106810085747,"sku":"RWC-PAN2026-KOTETHHEIRLOOM-200G","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0042\/0773\/8992\/files\/PanamaKotowaEthiopianHeirloom200gBAG_44bd862d-d8e3-4c38-8f2f-adada675af52.jpg?v=1784222370","url":"https:\/\/roguewavecoffee.ca\/products\/panama-kotowa-duncan-estate-ethiopian-heirloom-natural","provider":"Rogue Wave Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
