Region: Los Pozos , Renacimiento , Chiriqui Elevation: 1650-1900 masl About: The Hartmann family are one of Panama’s pioneers of specialty coffee. Their story starts four generations ago with Alois Hartmann, who settled in Panama in 1912. His son, Ratibor , established Finca Ha r t m a nn with 100 hectares of virgin rainforest he inherited from his father. Today, the la nd is shared by Ratibor’s five children and grandchildren , who each share a role in the family operation. Not content with producing some of the world’s best coffees at Finca Ha r t m a nn , Ratibor Jr. and his wife, Tessie, established the Mi Fi n q ui t a project. Mi Fi n q ui t a , which means "my small farm", is located around the town of Los Pozos and was established as a way for Ratibor and Tessie to further develop the specialty coffee sector in Chiriqui . Applying science, tradition, and innovative processing techniques, as well as their acquired skills and knowledge from running the famous Finca Ha r t m a nn , Mi Fi n q ui t a thrives on Ratibor’s spirit of experimentation and invention. Coffees from Mi Fi n q ui t a are processed in small lots – each lot will typically only yield about 45kg of green coffeeGreen coffeeUnroasted coffee seeds as they are traded and shipped.
