Does Panamanian Coffee have only Rosa varieties? is Panamanian Coffee suitable for hanging ears?

Panamanian coffee arrived with European immigrants in the 19th century, about 50 years after the country's independence from Spain, but as an agricultural product, it did not really gain a foothold until, so to speak, the past 20 years. In contemporary Panama, coffee is mainly produced by small farmers from two main indigenous groups-the Bugle and the Ngobe-as well as from large and medium-sized estates that are usually privately owned by immigrants from Europe or North America or their descendants.

The microclimate of coffee-growing areas varies depending on soil quality (for example, volcanoes have considerable volcanic soil) and altitude (1000-1650 m), and there is often sufficient fresh water for processing.

The country itself has long attracted Europeans and North Americans to seek "idyllic" life in a beautiful, tropical and relatively stable Latin American country, along with high demand for real estate, relatively protective national labour and wage laws, and great influence from the global north, to make Panamanian coffee a more expensive coffee to produce and buy. In addition, Panama contributes little to the scale of global coffee production, and production has been declining over the past few years.

However, the mild silhouette and approachable sweetness / nutty taste of coffee continue to attract fans as a good foil to the higher silhouette and more vibrant acidity of other Central American coffee.

Geisha

Since the early 2000s, the words Panama and Geisha have become almost synonymous: the breed has been "rediscovered" on the now famous Hacienda La Esmeralda farm in Boquete, which is owned by the Peterson family. In 2004, the Petersons selected and separated geisha cherries on their farm and let them take part in the Panamanian flavor contest: they soon attracted the attention of the entire boutique coffee world. Soon the price of a geisha from Esmeralda was as high as $140 per pound and won green in private online auctions.

Geisha's amazing success for Esmeralda has naturally inspired other producers to separate their varieties, even planting new Geisha trees on farms that used to have only Caturra and Bourbon. Geisha also spread from Panama to other producing countries, where enterprising farmers wanted to take advantage of the name and the obvious scent of flowers, tea, and delicate contours.

In addition to the famous summer roses, there are Kaddura and Kaduai coffee beans, a Panamanian Diamond Hill coffee from Front Street coffee, which belongs to Kaddura and Kaduai, with citrus, berry, honey, cocoa and fermented aromas. The other is the Panamanian butterfly, also belongs to the Panamanian rose summer coffee, its varieties are rose summer and Kaddura Kaduai, used to make hanging ear coffee, is one of the more cost-effective beans that can drink the flavor of the rose summer variety.
