Panama Janson Anaerobic Natural Gesha

Surrounded by green forests and eternal spring weather that reminded him of his home
country, he began his legacy along with his wife Peggy Janson.

Carl decided to buy land, and he opened the first automated dairy farm in Panama. He imported Brangus cattle and different breeds of horses. He also imported large mouth bass and the bluegill fish from Florida, preserving the natural richness of the farm’s lakes for future generations.

Years later, in the mid-1980s, the Janson family realized the land’s potential for coffee plantation after evaluating the soil thanks to agricultural engineers.

In 1990, Carl’s sons Michael, Carl, Ricardo (R.I.P.), and Peter took over the business and officially founded Janson Coffee. They were driven by their dad’s obsession with hard work, quality, and love for the land; and their vision was and continues to be that of a company producing and selling nationally and abroad high quality specialty coffee of different varieties that we know and enjoy today – Catuai, Caturra, Pacamara and the famous Panama Geisha.

More than 30 years later, the story continues through Kai and Janette – second Janson generation, along with Jannette’s son Miguel – third Janson generation. Today, the three generations lead all operations in Panama to bring Janson Coffee to the local market and abroad.

Janson Coffee continues to grow as a family business keeping in mind our main goals: producing excellent quality coffee while preserving the land, growing sustainably and improving the quality of life of our workers and their families.
