Anyone who knows anything about single-serve coffee should know that Panama coffee beans are famous in the coffee world for the Geisha of Emerald Manor.

Boquete is a town of Chiriqui in the province of Riquí, located near the border between Panama and Costa Rica, close to the famous Baru volcano, beautiful scenery, rich soil, climate and soil very suitable for producing high-quality coffee.

There are also many excellent estates distributed in the Boquet region, except for the famous Emerald Estate, as well as Elida Estate, Katowarduncan Estate and other famous estates, all of which produce high-quality coffee. This is due not only to the excellent ecological conditions of Panama's Poquet region and the fertile volcanic ash soil of the Baru volcanic field.

Another important factor is that the microclimate in the Poquet highlands of Panama is a unique and important resource for fine coffee in the Poquet region; this is the environment of Panama from east to west, which allows cold air currents to converge above 6500 feet through the Central Mountain Range, thus creating a variety of microclimates in the Poquet region, making its temperature and rainfall very suitable for plant growth, so that coffee trees grown here are in very good condition.
