It Started with a Hike up Volcán Barú.
Almost twenty years ago, founders Mark and Cathy traveled to Boquete, Panama, to hike Volcán Barú. Along the trail they met several families who own and farm coffee in the Boquete highlands. They hit it off, and the families invited Mark and Cathy to stay on their farms, where they quickly discovered that the most valuable, highest-quality coffee beans in the world are grown within miles of that very trail.
As the story unfolded, they fell in love with the remarkable people of Boquete and with the world’s finest java beans. Many return visits and farm stays later, they knew they had to bring these beans to coffee connoisseurs around the world. And that, as they say, was all she wrote. That is how, why and where JavaBeans.com began.
