FROM THE ROASTER

ALBERTO SITTON RIOS ACQUIRED HIS FAMILY FARM IN THE MOUNTAINS OF BAMBITO, CHIRIQUI PROVINCE, PANAMA FROM HIS FATHER IN 1945. THE FARM WAS ALBERTO’S PASSION, AND HE WANTED TO CONTINUE THE FAMILY TRADITION. TODAY, THE FARM IS STILL A FAMILY BUSINESS, NOW IN ITS FOURTH AND FIFTH GENERATIONS, WITH PRISCILLA AS THE PRODUCER.

THE COFFEE PLANTATION IS LOCATED AT AN ALTITUDE BETWEEN 1,660 AND 1,800 METERS, BETWEEN TWO NATIONAL FOREST PARKS. IT IS CROSSED BY TWO MOUNTAIN RIDGES FROM EAST TO WEST, WHICH CREATES TWO NATURAL MICROCLIMATES. THESE RIDGES PROTECT THE COFFEE TREES FROM THE SUMMER’S NORTH WINDS. THE FARM ALSO HAS TWO WATER SPRINGS, WHICH ARE THE MAIN SOURCES OF WATER FOR THE WET MILL. BAMBITO HAS ITS OWN GREENHOUSE AND CUPPING ROOM. THE GREENHOUSE IS USED TO PRESERVE COFFEE TREE GENETICS AND MAINTAIN A YOUNG PLANTATION. THE COFFEE PROCESS BYPRODUCTS SUCH AS THE PULP (SKIN) ARE USED AS A SOURCE OF ORGANIC FERTILIZER. THE CUPPING ROOM IS USED FOR QUALITY CONTROL. MUCH OF WHAT MAKES BAMBITO ESTATE ONE OF THE BEST COFFEE PRODUCERS IN PANAMA IS ITS NEAR PERFECT CLIMATE FOR COFFEE CULTIVATION.
