Luis Victor Chevas founded the first farm in Boquete back in the 1970s, producing large-scale agriculture with onions and potatoes. He then expanded into three different regions in Boquete, ensuring rich soil with organic nutrients and amazing microclimates.
Only in 2020 did the grandson Jose Luis Chevas followed his footsteps and founded Chevas Coffee Estate with Adrian Villarreal. Centered around the idea of innovating classical coffee processes using yeast, bacteria and fungus enzymes, the Experimental Coffee Farm was born. The project adhered strongly to the values of innovation, legacy, passion and quality.
Hailing from El Salto, Boquete, the cherries of Chevas Coffee Estate are harvested at its maximum Brix state, then flowered to select only the best cherries. This is followed by the cherries being placed in tanks for 8 days with saccharomyces cerevisae yeast. Afterwards, the coffee is placed on African beds under the sun for 28 days. This results in a clean and fruity cup.
With complex red and purple fruit aromatics melting together, expect notes of blood orange and marmalade jamminess to shine when hot and as it cools, a syrupy sweetness akin to black grapes.
Recommended to rest beans for 7-10 days from roast date before consuming.
