Something went wrong

It was a rainy day in 1999, my husband, Dr. Richard D. Burneskis and myself walked into one property located in Boquete, Panama. All we could see were trees and weeds, including some virgin forest, and no coffee. After failing so many times, one of our friends introduced the person who is working for the U.N as a director of the agriculture laboratory. She had heard carefully about our problem and told us that Pacamara coffee would be good but we need not the same existing in the area, something different for high altitude, and she would create one for us. Almost 1 and a half years later, in the year 2001, she brought us new coffee seeds, the first Pacamara seeds in Panama that can survive in very cold temperatures. By the year 2024, we had planted 45,000 Geishas trees, 40,000 Pacamaras, and 12,000 Typicas, in full production. Hacienda Don Julian now days is run by Mrs. Heakyung Kang Burneskis, since my beloved husband and co-founder of Hacienda Don Julian passed away in 2004. Our employees are aware of the importance of carrying out their work carefully, harvesting only 100% red beans. This way, our natural drying process allows the sugars and other compounds in the pulp to seep into the beans, contributing to a unique flavor profile. At Hacienda Don Julian, we care for every coffee bean from planting, through its growth, through harvesting, and throughout the processing of each lot of coffee, always maintaining a balance with our environment; as result, 42 hectares of natural friendly panoramic view will take your breath away, I guarantee it.
