La Esmeralda Manor Panamanian Jade Manor (La Esmeralda) Flavor description

The Emerald Manor of Panama (La Esmeralda) is located in the corner of the Baru volcano, so the coffee beans produced in this area are mostly named after Baru Mountain, and the area around Boquete is scenic. There are many leisure hotels, villa, resort estates, and even along the important river Rio Caldera. La Esmeralda is located on the right side of the river in Jaramillo, and then grows coffee in the higher elevation area of Ca?as Verdes on the left side of the river, thanks to Rudolph Peterson's decision to buy the industry.

La Esmeralda Manor has won 12 coffee competitions so far, and the highest bidding record for three times in online open bidding is US $21 in 2004, US $50.25 in 2006 and US $130 in 2007. Of course, other countries have also raced a pound of good coffee close to $50 (Brazil's CoE champion Fazenda Santa inflows in 2005) and Guatemala CoE champion El Injerto $80.20 in 2008, but you pay attention to the time point, that is, when La Esmeralda set a record price, there was no bid to surpass her before, but she will surpass others and say she is a record creator, no fluke! Take a look at her brilliant record:

1st Place Specialty Coffee Association of America Roasters Guild Cupping Pavilion (2007, 2006, 2005)

2nd Place Coffee of The Year (2008)

1st Place "Best of Panama" (2007, 2006, 2005, 2004)

1st Place Rainforest Alliance Cupping for Quality (2008, 2007, 2006, 2004)

La Esmeralda Manor was bought by Price Peterson's father, Rudolph A. Peterson, a Swedish banker. He was the president of Bank of America and was a big shot in the financial circle at that time. Rudolph bought Hacienda La Esmeralda only for vacation and later retirement. It should not have been expected that the estate would become world-famous and even become the representative of Panamanian boutique coffee estate. Price took over according to altitude and micro-climate. And according to the cup test performance and planting varieties, the market is divided into three major brands to sell (Esmeralda Special,Diamond Mountain grows,Palmyra)

Palmyra (Rainforest Alliance Certification) this brand of coffee is grown in Catuai near the Baru Volcano Park. It has a typical Panamanian Bouqete high-altitude coffee flavor. Sour will not be too exciting, sweet nuts and vanilla chocolate flavor. S of nuts, Palmyra is actually the highest production of La Esmeralda coffee, accounting for about 70% of the entire family coffee production.
