History of the estate:

The land of Hacienda La Esmeralda was first acquired by a Swede Hans Elliot in 1940. The land covers hundreds of hectares, which is now the Palmira and Ca ñ as Verdes estates. In 1904, a Swedish-American banker, Rudolph A. Peterson (1904-2003), bought Hacienda La Esmeralda as his retirement career. After that, the land was mainly a pasture for beef cattle, mixed with a small number of coffee forests. By 1975, the Peterson family had converted beef cattle farms into cheese farming, a transformation that was so successful that it still accounts for half of the land of the Emerald Manor. In the mid-1980s, the family was looking for different industries such as coffee, and the rich history of coffee production in Boquete seemed to symbolize a potential opportunity.

Coffee has been growing on the land of Hacienda La Esmeralda since 1890. It is the rich coffee culture and knowledge in this region that helped the Peterson family to expand their first coffee farm in Palmira in 1988, planting a large number of coffee trees on their own land. But during this period, the coffee industry in Panama also focused entirely on the market for popular commerce. It was not until the mid-1990s that some North American coffee buyers began to talk widely about boutique coffee. In 1997, the Peterson family bought a piece of land, known as Jaramillo Manor. This piece of land next to the Baru volcano has a fairly high altitude. The family hopes to develop coffee with higher scores, healthier and more detailed flavors. Under this chance, the famous Geisha coffee was planted on this farm. The 2004 Panamanian Best (Best of Panama) auction was the first official appearance of a geisha at the Jade Manor, and the excellent flavor further proved that the right species grew in the right local environment and focused on the management of batches, as well as the process control of the process was the reason for the success of the Peterson family.

Geisha from Ethiopia to the Jade Manor:

The story of Rosa Coffee can be traced back to 1936, when Captain Richard Whalley was asked by the Director of Kenya Agriculture to collect the seeds for a census of wild coffee species in Ethiopia. His mission was to collect ten pounds of coffee seeds in the area near the Gesha Mountain Mountains. The purpose of this survey is to assess the commercial viability of various varieties, and then to plant them in other British colonies. It is because Rosa Coffee is resistant to coffee leaf rust that these coffee seeds are brought to the Emerald Manor (Hacienda La Esmeralda) in Panama. Coffee has been grown in this area by the Peterson family since the 1960s, but a large number of mixed varieties have been grown on the farm. In the 1990s, coffee production became more and more important, and the Petersons family acquired a new, high-altitude farm, which they named Jaramillo. At that time, the farm was destroyed by coffee leaf rust, but Daniel Peterson noticed that the rose coffee trees had not been seriously damaged, so they decided to plant more rose coffee trees on the farms in that area, including higher elevations than Rosa coffee used to grow, up to more than 1650 meters above sea level.
