Boutique coffee Panamanian coffee manor Panamanian coffee producing area

Panamanian coffee originated in 1780, when European immigrants introduced the first Tipica tree species. Located in Central America, with the natural advantages of sunshine, land and mountains, coupled with a sufficient working population, the region is an excellent area for growing and producing high-quality boutique coffee, and it is a paradise for coffee. In particular, Geisha coffee from Panama has led to a global trend of paying attention to boutique coffee, which has successfully attracted global interest in Panamanian coffee. Boquete is the oldest and most famous coffee producing area in Panama. It is located on the east side of Mount Baru and is a plateau with an average elevation of about 1000-2000 meters. Among them, "Baru Volcano National Park" (Volcan Baru National Park) is an ecological conservation area, which is very rich in biodiversity and has a variety of microclimates. In addition, it is shrouded in mist all the year round and abundant rainfall, which creates good local cultivation conditions, which makes Boguet coffee with a unique aroma and is the producing area with the highest output and the best quality of Panamanian coffee. Every harvest season, coffee farmers will use the refined method of washing and drying in the sun to make the raw beans full and pure flavor.

The Baru volcano is not only the highest mountain in Panama, but the sediments created by early volcanic activity and eruption bring a large amount of very fertile soil, which is rich in nutrients, especially rich in phosphorus and sulfur, mixed with clay and unique climate patterns, making the region a suitable environment for the growth of high-quality coffee. Dense forests and a large number of species form the overall biodiversity.

About 50 coffee farmers here form a small cooperative, all of which produce coffee in the traditional way of Bogut-allowing it to grow in a near-natural environment. Although the yield is not high, it can maintain a rich ecological environment, and soil quality can be maintained or even improved. The natural planting method is not only beneficial to the environment, because the coffee fruit grows slowly, so it is easier to grow high-quality coffee beans with good flavor. Farmers harvest complete coffee berries by hand and send them to nearby Cafe de Eleta S.A. The post-processing plant is about 4 kilometers away from the farm, and a modern laboratory is set up for cup test tube and manual screening.
