Flying Pumas is a specialty coffee project located in the mountains of Volcán, Chiriquí, Panama, between 1650 and 2200 meters above sea level. The farm spans 178 hectares, of which 60 hectares are planted with specialty coffee while the remaining land is preserved forest bordering the International La Amistad Park. At Flying Pumas, coffee is cultivated in dialogue with the landscape, respecting the natural conditions of the territory and allowing each lot to express its origin with precision and clarity.
ABOUT FLYING PUMAS
Flying Pumas is a project built around observation, precision, and respect for the environment. Inspired by the wild cats that inhabit these forests, pumas, jaguars, ocelots, and jaguarundis, the project seeks to work in balance with one of the most important ecosystems in Central America. Every decision, from cultivation to processing, begins with understanding how climate, altitude, volcanic soils, and biodiversity shape the final expression of the coffee.
COFFEE & TERROIR
Flying Pumas focuses primarily on Geisha and ET47 varieties, cultivated at high altitude on mineral-rich volcanic soils. Cool temperatures, thermal amplitude, constant mist, and the natural complexity of the landscape allow the development of coffees with elegance, transparency, and depth in the cup. Each lot reflects the unique characteristics of the territory where it was cultivated.
CULTIVATION PHILOSOPHY
At Flying Pumas, coffee cultivation is approached through continuous observation, precision agriculture, and responsible landscape management. Forest conservation, water protection, conscious soil management, and the use of biochar are integrated into an approach designed to strengthen the long-term health and resilience of the territory.
PROCESSING APPROACH
Our processing philosophy is centered on preserving clarity, structure, and varietal expression. Each lot is carefully harvested and processed to highlight the identity of the coffee and the natural characteristics of the terroir. Precision, cleanliness, and consistency are fundamental throughout every stage of the process.
LANDSCAPE & CONSERVATION
Flying Pumas is part of one of the most important biological corridors in Panama. The forests surrounding the farm play an essential role in water conservation, climate stability, and biodiversity protection throughout the region.
