Finca La Gloria was registered as an agricultural farm in 1904, at which point 12 hectares were already planted with coffee. La Gloria is owned by Norberto Suarez and is located in the highlands of Boquete, a town renowned for the quality of its specialty coffee. The land includes majestic mountains, native vegetation, lively creeks, 12-foot native shade trees, a diverse bird population and views of Horqueta Mountain and Volcan Baru—the two highest points in Panama. La Gloria grows mainly the Typica (80 percent) variety but is also known for its Geisha variety. It neighbors the Hortigal Estate and Finca San Sebastian coffee farms, which are owned, respectively, by Norberto's sister, Eira Maria Suarez, and his brother, Domingo.
