— A Legacy Rooted in Panama's Extraordinary Landscape —

ORIGIN: Panama
At Savage Coffees, we believe in the power of terroir. Our handcrafted legacy is deeply rooted in Panama’s extraordinary landscape, which is reflected in every grain of coffee we produce. Our coffee tells the story of its origin, carrying the essence of the soil, the climate, and the unique characteristics of the region. Our commitment to preserving this authenticity while enhancing the flavor experience is what sets us apart.
The Panamanian coffee industry is centered in the Chiriquí province of Panama’s northern highlands and is concentrated in the areas of Boquete and Volcán. Also called the Valley of Flowers and Eternal Spring, these areas are perched on the sides of the Baru Volcano and surrounding foothills. It is in these idyllic locales that truly distinct and unique coffees are produced. These highlands are blessed with terroir consisting of highly volcanic, enriched soil, abundant moisture, diverse microclimates, regular rainfall, dense vegetation, and cloud cover to nourish the coffee trees. This in turn contributes to the production of fine shade grown coffees with incredibly complex flavor characteristics.
