Coffee History of Panama
The history of Panamanian coffee began in 1780 when Europeans first brought the first Typica trees to Panama. For Panamanians at that time, such drinks were both novel and mysterious, which not only quickly conquered people's senses, but also led to the widespread planting of coffee trees by local people. Riding on the third wave of coffee aesthetic trend, after gradually learning to taste a single taste of beans, the so-called manor boutique coffee began to become a trend.
[note 1:Typica tree species-the oldest native variety of coffee in Ethiopia, with low disease resistance and economic benefits.]
The characteristics of the producing areas of Panama
Panama is the southernmost country in Central America, bordering the Caribbean Sea to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, Costa Rica to the north and Colombia to the south-it is an important isthmus connecting North and South America. Under the influence of such geographical factors, Panama has a complex and changeable microclimate, which also creates a unique flavor of Panamanian coffee. Panama is roughly divided into four producing areas:
Boquete Boquette producing area is 1450 meters above sea level.
The coffee produced in this area is the region with the highest coffee production and the best quality in Panama.
The Volcan volcano producing area is 2000-3000 meters above sea level
The coffee in this producing area is characterized by a mild and balanced flavor, which has gradually attracted the attention of international experts and coffee lovers.
Santa Clara Santa Clara producing area is 1500 meters above sea level
Due to the irrigation of Chorerra Falls and the adjacent Panama Canal, coffee from all over Panama can be easily transported to all parts of the world.
Piedra de Candela Kendra producing area is 1200 meters above sea level
This producing area is the most promising and has the potential to develop high-quality premium coffee.
The ─ of Rose Summer in the World Central America Panama
One of the most prominent highlights in the history of coffee in Panama is ─ Geisha (Geisha, also translated as Rose Summer).
Geisha, once the windbreak tree of the coffee farm, has become the new darling of the world, winning it as early as 2004.
After the champion of the SCAA American boutique coffee association competition, the Geisha coffee bean with unique flower and fruit flavor won the title of Panamanian national treasure. It is not only the focus of the annual "Best Panamanian auction" (Best of Panama Auction), but also the most popular variety whose price has soared fastest in recent years. In 2013, the champion of the Geisha group broke the world record in a global online bid. Marked at a sky-high price of $350.25 per pound, it is as popular as expected.
The distinctive features of Geisha are more intoxicating than the typical flavor of other Panamanian coffee. Under the expectations of the public, it also has a particularly high risk, high mortality, low yield, not easy pruning, but also requires complex and high-cost treatment in order to maintain its most primitive flavor. In the baking degree of Geisha, most people will choose shallow roasting, only remove the grass smell of coffee beans, shorten the baking time, in order to retain the bright sour taste of Geisha. In the Bean Hunter, the author ─ Xu Baolin describes that "if you don't know roses and summer beans all your life, you can call it a glutton in vain." this shows its undisputed position in the coffee circle.
The road to boutique coffee belonging to Panama
As the torrent of time comes to modern times, people begin to know how to define and understand different flavors on the taste buds on the tip of the tongue-understanding the beauty of the original taste, the flavor characteristics created by the microclimate, the depth of baking, and so on. at the same time, there are also more manors with professional knowledge and technology. For Panama, the changes brought about by the impact of the boutique Kuroshio are an important process to bring Panamanian coffee into line with the world step by step.
With the establishment and development of the Panamanian Fine Coffee Association, many manors and producing areas, which are already too small, have become high-quality coffee producing countries specializing in the boutique market. Under the influence of the annual auction of "Best Panama", Panama has become the spokesman of boutique coffee and the most geisha!
