Ninety Plus Coffee

ninety plus coffee is a producer and direct exporter of single-origin, single-variety specialty coffee operating farms in volcán, chiriquí, panama and in ethiopia. founded in 2009, the company grows gesha and other varieties in an agroforestry model, planting coffee under reforested canopy on their gesha estates property. they develop proprietary fermentation and post-harvest processing methods, including extended natural and anaerobic techniques, applied at the farm level to produce traceable microlots. lots are sold to competition-focused roasters and high-end cafes internationally. the company runs a prototype coffee series, producing small experimental batches that incorporate processing innovations used in world coffee competitions. a 2019 private sale of one such prototype lot reached $10,000 per kilogram, roughly doubling the prior green coffee price record set by a ninety plus auction lot in 2017. ninety plus operates with a staff of 51 to 200 and handles its own export from panama. buyers typically access lots through direct inquiry rather than open spot markets, with availability reflecting harvest cycles across both origins.
