origin
Finca Los Cenizos, managed by first-generation female producer Estela Pitti alongside her children Stella Marie and Niko, is a standout estate in Cerro Punta, Tierras Altas. Sitting between 1,800–2,200 masl on a volcanic canyon near mountain springs and century-old ash trees, the farm's high elevation and unique microclimate allow cherries to mature slowly, resulting in exceptional sweetness and complexity.
Estela’s passion for coffee was sparked in childhood by her father, Patricio, a local rancher. After a successful career in business and interior design, she acquired Finca Los Cenizos in 2008 and planted her first Geisha trees in 2012. Today, the family’s harmony with nature and focus on refined post-harvest processing consistently earn them top honors at the Best of Panama auctions—including placing 6th for both Geisha Washed and Geisha Natural in 2024.
