Our history
In 2005 Juan a South African who spend 20 years in Los Angeles, moved to Panama and bought a far, he then met Coralia, and together they decided in 2017 start a coffee farm.
We consider our farm to be special becouse we are present in each step. We believe that great coffee is not just about taste, but about the journey it takes from seed to cup. It’s about the hands that nurture it, the land that sustains it, and the people who enjoy it.

Sawubona - crafted with passion, rooted in purpose
Sawubona Panama Coffee Farm is nestled in the Tizingal area of the Chiriqui Highlands, at an elevation of 1,450 meters above sea level. Our coffee grows in rocky soil, a product of the legacy of the Colorado-Tizingal Volcano whose minerals lend our coffees unique flavors.
Sawubona grows varieties in micro lots such as Pacamara, Red Bourbon, Castillo de Naranjal, Catuai. The diversity of flora and fauna adds a touch to every note of aroma and flavor, that set our coffee apart.
The name Sawubona comes from the Zulu culture of South Africa. It means "Hello, I see you", or "I am looking at you". Just like its meaning, we produce and process our coffees with you in mind.
