Qianjie Coffee-introduction of Panamanian Coffee producing area

Panama has been among the best coffee producers in the world since three years ago. The main producing area of Panamanian coffee is in the west near the border with Costa Rica, producing excellent washed coffee. Compared with coffee beans grown at low and middle elevations, the low temperature and stable climate at high elevations in Panama are more beneficial to the growth of coffee beans. The coffee beans grown here grow slowly, have the strongest and special flavor, and the hardness of the coffee is the hardest.

Coffee beans at high altitude have the most complete taste, high mellowness and diversified flavor, such as chocolate, caramel, flower and so on. The entrance is warm and moist with moderate sour and bitterness. The Panamanian extremely high growth bean is one of the most outstanding varieties.

The BOQUETE region of Panama, located in the province of CHIRIQUI on the border with Costa Rica, is home to Panama's famous GEISHA coffee and is famous for producing high-quality Arabica coffee. The Tedman & McIntyre (TEDMAN&MACINTYRE ESTATE) estate, located in the mountain area of Poggett 4000 feet above sea level, comes from the two earliest coffee families in Panama, the Tedman family and the McIntyre family. In 1925, Canadian fruit merchant Alexander McIntyre (ALEXANDER DUNCAN MACINTYRE), infected by his brother Joseph, came to Poggett to settle down, married ANGELA ROSAS in the same year, bought an estate named "LA CAROLINA" and began to grow coffee. Their descendants still own the estate and become one of the most famous coffee farms in the area.

As a matter of fact, Panamanian coffee has not been given due recognition and attention in the boutique coffee market. Good Panamanian coffee has always been used by unscrupulous businessmen to imitate Hawaii kona coffee and even Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. Panamanian coffee generally belongs to the low and medium price, but its performance in the cup is often not inferior to that of any famous or even expensive famous coffee producing area. Excellent Panamanian coffee flavor is bright, pure, medium consistency (taste, body) comfortable and mild, and even has excellent complexity. In a few years, these high-quality, reasonably priced boutique Panamanian coffee will be popular all over the world!
