Coffee History of Panama

The history of Panamanian coffee began in 1780 when Europeans first brought the first Typica trees to Panama. For Panamanians at that time, such drinks were both novel and mysterious, which not only quickly conquered people's senses, but also led to the widespread planting of coffee trees by local people. Riding on the third wave of coffee aesthetic trend, after gradually knowing how to taste a single taste of beans, the so-called manor boutique coffee began to become a trend.
