About José David Garrido Pérez of Panama
The year: 1997. The place: Alto Quiel, near Boquete, Panama. With a passion for farming, a commitment to quality, and a love of coffee and people, José Pérez founded Mama Cata Estate. Before long, his farming know-how and attention to detail paid off, and he began producing outstanding, unique coffees from his land.
Enter Pt’s Coffee Roaster Co. owner, Jeff Taylor, 2016. Jeff was a judge at the Best of Panama competition and a Geisha coffee from Mama Cata caught his attention when it earned the second highest score in the Geisha category. As a result, Pt’s became direct trade partners with José David. Because of this new union, José’s Geisha blend--never before offered to any roaster in the USA--is on its way to cover lovers stateside: Finca Mama Cata, Lot Toña A.
