Panama in Every Cup

As Washington, D.C.'s premier destination for 100% Panamanian-grown coffee, Unido has built its reputation around beverages with a clear sense of place. Each coffee is sourced directly from Panama and reflects the distinct character of the country's volcanic soil, climate, and coffee-growing regions.

For those seeking a luxury coffee tasting experience, Unido's Panama Geisha Coffee Flight gives seasoned aficionados and curious newcomers the chance to experience one of the most sought-after coffees in the world, sourced directly from some of Panama's finest producers.

Volcán Barú Charcoal Latte – A mocha latte inspired by Panama's iconic volcano.

Orange Raspadura Latte – Made with housemade orange and raspadura syrup, finished with orange zest.

Vanilla Bean Latte – A classic latte made with Unido's housemade vanilla bean syrup.

All of Unido's syrups are made in-house using natural ingredients.
