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!

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

Hope that the manor is different from other manors, with doctoral botanists, three professional cup surveyors, 100 full-time employees, and currently manages a manor under its jurisdiction. The estate is owned by the Herrera brothers. In fact, the grandfather of the Herrera brothers, who ran a coffee farm in the Trujillo district of Colombia, gradually declined, and the two brothers left Colombia. But they did not give up their dream of going back to their hometown to run a coffee farm.

The first estate that Herrera bought when he returned home was Trujillo's La Esperanza, which is very close to their grandfather's original farm and is now used as a regional headquarters. The manor itself is 100% organic, with a variety of coffee trees including Colombian species, Castillo, Caturra and more than 14000 organic roses. Next, Herrera bought four estates in Trujillo and Caicedonia, north of Trujillo. Together with the La Cardeida estate in Boquete, Panama, which was leased in 2005, it now has six estates with a total coffee planting area of 213ha.
