DON BENJIE

Jose Benjamin de Dianous G. and Stefan Arwed Müller began operating the farm in 2011, focusing on quality and environmental preservation. They named their brand Café Don Benjie in honor of Mr. Benjamin de Dianous Henriquez who has made significant contributions to both the local town of Boquete and its coffee industry.

FERMENTATION

Harvested in mid-December at Don Benjie’s estate, the cherries were fermented for 5 days under 10 psi of pressure using P. kluyveri and L. plantarum to enhance volatile compounds and organic acids. After fermentation, the cherries were dried for 32 days to achieve the desired moisture level.
