Last Updated: 2024/09/20, Coffee was first brought to Panama by European settlers in the 19th century. In the past, Panamanian coffee did not have a good reputation, and its output was only 1 / 10 of that of its neighbor Costa Rica, but now the coffee industry's focus on boutique coffee has made Panama more and more interested in growing coffee. Panama's geographical advantage is that it has a lot of distinguishing microclimate areas suitable for coffee.

Coffee was first brought to Panama by European settlers in the 19th century. In the past, Panamanian coffee did not have a good reputation, and its output was only 1 / 10 of that of its neighbor Costa Rica, but now the coffee industry's focus on boutique coffee has made Panama more and more interested in growing coffee.

Panama's geographical advantage is that it has many distinctive microclimate areas suitable for coffee cultivation, and Panama also has many persistent and professional coffee growers. This means there will be a lot of very good coffee in Panama, but these coffees are often associated with high prices.

The high price of coffee in Panama is mainly caused by the following factors:

Land price: for the people of North America, they very much want to buy a stable and beautiful land at a low price. Panama is such a place;

More farmers in Panama grow coffee for export in the name of manors to emphasize their own manors;

Panamanian labor law has higher requirements for labor employment, so the coffee industry has to pay higher wages, which has to be paid by consumers.

Esmeralda Manor

When it comes to coffee prices, we should pay great attention to a manor in Panama, and it can even be said that so far, no other single estate has had such an impact on coffee farming in Central America. This is Esmeralda Manor, which belongs to and is run by the Peterson family.
