Orange Candy, Mango, Jasmine

Carl Janson is a Swiss who fell in love with Panama's Volcan's peaks and valleys. After his marriage to his wife Margaret, Janson started Panama's first automated farm and coffee plantation.

In Janson estate's pursuit of perfection in coffee quality, they equipped their farm with a dedicated coffee processing facility to process the coffee cherries, and hire workers who are strictly instructed to only harvest the most red and ripened coffee cherries. The area used to be a plantation for cultivating high-altitude avocados, which were then transported to the capital, Panama city. Due to their unique flavor and dense texture, these avocados are exorbitantly priced. Currently, the area is mainly used for coffee cultivation, with some parts for high-altitude avocados.

Quality production with harmony is Janson estate’s goal. They keep a balance of nutrients in the soil using enzyme micro organisms, no pesticides, no herbicides among others.  The farms are micromanaged in lots for traceability and quality control. Plantations are separated by forest which serve as natural barriers against pests and also protect the natural flora and fauna of the region.
