This was such a unique and delightful experience! It changed the way we view and drink coffee forever in the best way possible. Definitly a must try!
What a great experience! It was very personal and informative.
Absolutely incredible and personal experience! Not only did we get a beautiful history of the farm but we were able to participate in every single aspect of the coffee making process- picking the beans, drying them, processing them, roasting them, grinding them and finally trying them! And being able to take home the actual beans we processed was such a unique souvenir. Marilyn and the entire family are passionate about their work and make you part of the family! Our favorite experience during our time in Panama
A wonderful and very authentic experience in culture and coffee cultivation! The finca is very special and as different as you think! Lunch what you can book is an absolute must!
A very authentic beautiful experience! Interactive and very passionate. You make your own coffee and even get it with you!
We really enjoyed this tour and give it 4.5 stars. Marilyn, the hostess, was very friendly and fun. We had a short experience of picking the coffee cherries and learning how they ferment. Then we took off the outer shells to reveal the coffee beans, and then we shook them to get rid of the chaff. The best part was cooking the beans until they were ready to be coffee beans! We enjoyed learning about the indigenous people and one suggestion we have is to less time talking about the personalities of each visitor (from the viewpoint of the ancient indigenous people) and more time talking about the history of coffee in general. But overall, it was an informative and enjoyable day! Thank you!
This is a very hands-on and immersive coffee experience, very different than a typical coffee at a farm. You explore the farm, actively collect and roast your own coffee, and learn about traditional methods of coffee processing. This tour is deeply rooted in culture, history, and people. You learn about the indigenous community and the history of the land itself, making the experience both educational and personal. Marlyn was incredibly warm and welcoming, treating us like family from the moment we arrived. She shared her life story with openness and warmth, creating a genuine personal connection and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere for everyone. This tour is not just about coffee; It’s about culture, community, heritage, and connection. I highly recommend it.
This was the best coffee farm experience we have ever had. Marlin and Lorraine's farm and the tour of what they are doing for organic coffee growing is amazing and is NOT TO BE MISSED!! It was so great to be involved in every aspect of the coffee process, truly hands-on.
This was a great personalized experience. I went solo on the tour and learned a lot about the farm, the surrounding nature and the balance they try to achieve. The tour guide was very nice, spoke English well and just a pleasant person. I highly recommend this tour!
I have no words to describe how wonderful this experience was. It’s just what I needed, to know firsthand, the history and coffee culture of Panama told by someone who lives it for themselves. The coffee story, it's the story of Marilin's family. The intention and purpose of this project is wonderful. If you’re looking for industries and technicalities you’d better go elsewhere, here’s family, roots, ancestors, knowledge and a lot of will. The most rural, nasal art and autochthonous that you will see from the cafe.
Muchas gracias por sus palabras. Nos alegra mucho que haya sentido la esencia de nuestra historia y familia en esta experiencia. Comentarios así nos motivan a seguir compartiendo con el corazón.
