Chevas Coffee Estate
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
The Chevas family legacy began in the 1970s when Luis Victor Chevas purchased his first property in Alto Chiquero, Boquete, initially focusing on large-scale agriculture like potatoes and onions. In 2016, his grandson José Luis Chevas founded the Chevas Coffee Estate, transitioning the family land toward high-end specialty coffee production. The estate now encompasses three distinct farm locations in Boquete: Alto Chiquero, El Salto, and Alto Quiel.
Challenges
The farm manages three distinct microclimates across its properties, requiring careful navigation of varying soil and environmental conditions to maintain quality.
Innovations
The estate utilizes experimental processing techniques, including aerobic fermentation and dark room drying, and collaborates with professional baristas to refine sensory profiles and processing methods.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
