The Panamanian boutique coffee beans Panama Manor of the King of Coffee

At first, the understanding of Panama was limited to a few words in high school geography textbooks. All I know is the Panama Canal, which is known as "the crossroads of the world" as a traffic passage connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Only after working in the coffee industry many years later did I know that Panama plays an important role in the coffee kingdom.

Panama is a small country located in the center of the American continent, with a total area of 75517 square kilometers. It is bounded by Colombia to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the south, Costa Rica to the west and the Caribbean to the north. The country connects North and South America in the shape of "S". There are ups and downs and valleys throughout Panama. There are many rivers. Except for the north-south coastal plain, it is mostly mountainous.

Panama is near the equator and has a tropical maritime climate. It is humid during the day and cool at night. The annual average temperature is 23-27C °. The whole year is divided into two seasons of drought and rain, with an average annual precipitation of 1500mm to 2500mm.

Panama has one of the highest volcanoes in Central America: Mount Baru. The Baru volcano has an altitude of more than 3474 meters, and the surrounding land is nutritious and balanced, providing sufficient conditions for the sowing and cultivation of Panamanian coffee. Cold air streams converge and flow above 2262 meters in the Central Mountains, creating a variety of microclimates in the Bouquete and Volcan regions. The microclimate of the Panamanian highlands, as well as fertile soil, abundant precipitation, suitable temperature and height, have become a unique resource for the cultivation of quality coffee in Panama.
