Treum Coffee began by accident. During COVID, we left New York City with our two young kids and traveled to Panama with no itinerary — just a desire to explore. Our days were spent wandering through the mountains in search of ancient petroglyphs and traces of the people who lived there thousands of years ago.

One day, while searching for a remote archaeological site near Caldera, Google led us to what looked like someone's house. A local pointed us over an electrified fence, through a field of cows, and along a trail marked by colorful flags. Nearby were the legendary coffee farms of Boquete — mist-covered mountains, volcanic soil, and pristine water producing some of the world's most extraordinary coffees.

Standing there, we realized that great coffee is shaped by more than farming. It carries the character of the land itself. That connection to place is what we search for in every coffee we source.
