Panamanian area? Panama knows him!

Panamanian coffee

Panama is located at 9 degrees north latitude, the meeting point of the Central Mountains, where Mount Baru, one of the highest volcanoes in Central America, is located.

The Baru volcano has an altitude of more than 11400 feet, and the land around it is rich in nutritious and fertile soil, providing sufficient conditions for the sowing and cultivation of Panamanian coffee.

Coffee was introduced into Panama in 1780, when Europeans introduced the first Typica trees. The unique microclimate (micro-climate) of many Panamanian producing areas is suitable for the growth of boutique coffee: Rain Water of Panama, sometimes from the Pacific, sometimes from the Atlantic. At the end of the rainy season, a northerly wind that locals call "Bajareque" blows like air in the mountains of Panama, slowing down the ripening rate of coffee fruit and raising sugar content.

In addition, Panama has the help of the United States, the largest coffee consumer in the world, so Panama's coffee processing technology is the best in Central America. Under the influence of such geographical factors, Panama has a complex and changeable microclimate, which also creates a unique flavor of Panamanian coffee.
