Panamanian coffee was underestimated or even ignored for a long time, until the appearance of the annual international cup test competition "Best of Panama" and Panama Emerald Estate (Hacienda La Esmeralda) in recent years completely changed. This cup test competition attracted global attention. In addition to the attraction of coffee itself, of course, there was also an amazing price. Geisha geisha, produced on small farms, attracts coffee fans all over the world with its unique floral aroma. Panama coffee has a strong floral aroma and clean fruit aroma. The cup quality is far superior to other coffees. The flavor is amazing and the quality is consistent. Small farms in Boquete, Chirqui district, produce coffee cherries that are truly distinctive and employ the Ngbe Indians during harvest season at the most reasonable wage rates in accordance with Central American labour laws.

September Direct Coffee Thinking Green Bean Style goes to the conference, establishing a "special, refined" trend, Panama Coffee! Introducing clearer, better, more diverse Panamanian beans, adding a wonderful new coffee journey.

Kotowa family has 5 estates, which are the biggest winners of Best of Panama in 2012. Its most famous estates are Duncan and Don K respectively, winning 5 batches in total. These two estates are on both sides of the mausoleum line of volcanic area. The micro-climate changes greatly. The coffee flavor is completely different. At harvest time, only the best 100% fully ripe cherries will be harvested. Coffee will be put in special barrels to green according to different sizes and grades. The time is about 3 months. This time, we introduced sun-dried beans from Kotowa Duncan Estate, which are uniquely mellow coffee beans.
