Central America is a long isthmus from northern Mexico to southern Colombia, connecting North and South America. Panama is located in the southernmost part of Central America, so the country runs from east to west, not from north to south as people think. This means that the coast of the Caribbean (Atlantic) is in its north, while the Pacific is in the south.

Panama is by far the narrowest country that shares the Atlantic and Pacific coastlines. And this has a far-reaching impact on coffee production. It's only 60-70 kilometers from the ocean. The oceanic climate is a huge system that covers the entire hemisphere. On the island of Panama, which is less than 100 kilometers wide, these global climate systems intertwined and collided, creating amazing microclimate change. The wind keeps spinning and changing direction; rain without warning, clouds floating in the mountains with fog and ice rain, here is basically a forest in the clouds, when the clouds come, the temperature will drop sharply. We climbed the steep hillside of the manor and passed through the thick clouds, which covered everything that La Mula was a dense forest and huge shade trees covered most of the planting area. There is also a second layer of shade trees that grow lower than them, and under this vault are rosy summer coffee trees that have a unique flavor because of the environment.

If the cloud period is regular and becomes a regular phenomenon, it shows that it can cause some unique situations for trees. Especially in the presence of fruit trees, plants will respond to the environment and adjust themselves. When the sun is missing, the leaves get a higher water supply, and the photosynthesis of the trees is slow, which lengthens the ripening period of cherries, making the flavor stronger, especially in sweetness and acidity.

So will humidity increase the difficulty of planting?

These unique things happen, and this is the factor that contributes to these unique flavors.
