Mi Finquita It is a project led by Ratibor Jr. and Tessie Hartmann, conceived as both a farm and a laboratory for innovation, and one of Panama’s pioneers in this field. The lots are produced using regenerative practices, under the shade of trees, and hold the Smithsonian’s “Bird Friendly” certification, reflecting a deep commitment to biodiversity. Their coffees have received international recognition, including first prize in the Best of Panama 2023 competition.

Life at Finca Hartmann is marked by family and tradition. For years, around three in the afternoon, four generations would gather to share coffee and talk about the day—a ritual that now continues into the fifth generation. Mornings begin simply, with a cup of filtered coffee enjoyed in the quiet of the forest, where the fresh air and birdsong set the rhythm of work and life.

Harvested in 2025 at 1,900 meters in the cool mist of Chiriquí, the ripe cherries undergo a 24-hour closed fermentation—without the addition of water—to enhance the coffee’s fruity character and preserve its distinct flavor profile in the cup. The coffee is then washed and transferred to African drying beds, where it is carefully dried until it reaches the optimal point. This precise process aims to balance intensity, sweetness, and clarity.

When following this recipe, keep in mind that various factors can influence the final result of your cup, such as the roast date, how the coffee was stored, environmental conditions, the water, or the condition of your equipment.
Therefore, you may need to make minor adjustments to achieve a similar result.
