High on the lush slopes of Panama’s volcanic highlands, something extraordinary has been cultivated for decades: some of the world’s most celebrated coffee varieties. At the heart of this story lies the Geisha coffee, a bean that transformed Panama into a global benchmark for quality and continues to captivate coffee lovers worldwide.

At Café David 507, we honor this legacy by sharing the essence of Panama’s terroir with every cup.

A Coffee with a Story

The Geisha variety was first introduced to Panama in the 1960s. Though it originated in Ethiopia, Panama’s unique microclimates particularly in regions like Boquete and Volcán Barú helped the varietal flourish into something new and extraordinary. Its floral aromatics, silky mouthfeel, and exotic sweetness distinguish Geisha as a coffee unlike any other.

When Geisha shocked the specialty coffee world at the Best of Panama cupping competition in 2004, it didn’t just win; it redefined how the world perceived Panamanian coffee. Judges described its notes of jasmine, citrus, and tropical fruit as nothing short of dazzling. From that moment, Panama earned its place on the global coffee map.

More Than Just Geisha

While Geisha holds the crown, Panama’s coffee story is also enriched by traditional varieties like Typica, Bourbon, and Caturra each carrying its own unique balance of acidity, sweetness, and aroma. At Café David 507, we celebrate this diversity. From the clean, citric brightness of Caturra to the winey aftertaste of Bourbon, every bean tells a story of soil, climate, and heritage.

From Farm to Cup

The secret to extraordinary coffee lies not just in the variety, but in the passion of those who cultivate it. Farmers in Panama’s Chiriquí province have spent generations perfecting the balance between yield and flavor, ensuring that each harvest meets the highest standards. Café David 507 partners with these growers to bring you coffee that is as authentic as it is exceptional.
