History and Market of Panamanian Coffee

The first coffee trees are thought to have been brought by a British captain who settled in Panama in the early 19th century.

The microclimate of the Boquet Valley has proved to be an ideal place to grow coffee because of its high altitude, rich volcanic soil, the shadow of Mount Baru, and the climatic effects of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Over time, many varieties were imported and planted, but the development of specific coffee planting strategies lagged behind until some foreign families settled in Silicon Valley decided to try and meet the growing demand for high-quality Arabica coffee.

All of them produce high-quality boutique coffee, which is not only due to the superior ecological conditions of the Pokuit region of Panama, but also an important factor.
