The roots of Franceschi Coffee go back to the 1800s, when the Franceschi family emigrated from Corsica (France), to Panama. Over generations, they were involved in farming, cattle ranching, and shipbuilding. In 1950, Carmen Franceschi suggested starting a coffee farm with her husband Efrain, an idea that led to the creation of Carmen Estate, a farm we all know and love.

Carlos Aguilera Franceschi, their grandson and a third-generation coffee producer, carried on the family legacy by embracing innovation and focusing on quality. After selling Carmen Estate, Carlos launched a more personal and artisanal venture: Franceschi Coffee.

Together with his partner Jean Paul Langenstein, Carlos now cultivates Gesha on small plots of land in the Volcán region. They also collaborate with local farmers, sourcing the finest cherries and applying precise processing techniques to bring out the best in every bean.

Franceschi coffee represents the next chapter in a long-standing family tradition, focused on craftsmanship, experimentation, and the relentless pursuit of quality!
