The finest coffee in Panama (Panama) is grown in the west of the country, near Costa Rica and the Pacific Ocean. The Boquet district of Chiriqui province is the most famous for its coffee, as well as Wakan, Santa Clara and Kendra. Other areas include David, Remacimeinto, Bugaba and Tole. Only coffee grown at elevations between 1300 and 1500 meters above sea level is considered special coffee.

Mr Osorio (David Osorio) was born in 1865. Curacoa, an island in the south of the Caribbean, moved to Pokuit in Panama in 1915 to start the family coffee business. In 2007, the second generation of family members Efran Alberto Osorio Baxter and Efra í n Alberto Osorio Baxter took over the family coffee farm, whose name is commemorated by their mother Valentina Baxter de Osorio, closely linked to everyone in the whole family. It also represents the self-identity and intimacy of a coffee family.

There are three ways of plantation: sunshine plantation, full shade plantation and semi-shade plantation. Plantations with more than 50 plants per hectare are fully shaded plantations, 25-50 plants are semi-shaded plantations, and less than 25 plants are called sunshine plantations. What is the effect of shading and shading on coffee in the plantations of the two neighbors with the same planting conditions? Shading plantations can slow down the ripening time of coffee fruits, so there are more flavor substances in coffee cherries, so shading itself increases the cost and reduces production, and its coffee flavor is higher than that of semi-shaded plantations under the same planting conditions. now most plantations in Colombia are associated with coffee trees and bananas because Arabica trees are becoming more and more dwarfed. So when the banana tree rises, it acts as a shade.

Love Sing Manor, covering an area of about 12.5 hectares, is a small miniature estate in Panama (more miniature than the 31 hectares introduced in the previous issue). According to the owner's dictation, 8.5ha has been planted from the common typica, Red Catuai and Pacamara, and Geisha coffee has been planted in a few areas since 2008. At present, it accounts for nearly half of the number. The manor is between 1500 and 1675 meters above sea level. in addition to the coffee planting land, there are also 3.5 hectares of primary forest and all kinds of fruit trees, including alpine cypress, pine and Eucalyptus trees, which is a typical example of self-sufficient manor.

Love Sing Manor is best known for winning the championship in the 2011 Best Panama Competition (Best of Panama), with a cup score of 92.3 points, which not only beat the most indicative and successive championships of the Jade Manor at that time, but also broke the record high of US $70.25 per pound. The outstanding achievements in the next few years have been innumerable, and they have been shortlisted for the final batch of the most Panama in successive years, including the fifth place in the 2012 water-washed brothel group, the 10th place in the 2013 water-washed brothel group, the 12th place in the 2014 water-washed brothel group, and the 14th place in the 2015 water-washed brothel group.

The overall taste is smooth, the texture is smooth and the flavor is clean and full.

We often say that the Body (mellow thickness) of coffee can be made up for by the degree of roasting, but the Acidity of high-quality coffee is as difficult to find as a beautiful woman, so it is a pity that such a high-quality acid can not be carbonized excessively, so the best series of coffee beans are recommended to be roasted lightly and moderately to maintain a perfect coffee flavor.
