[flavor description]: oolong tea, peach, honey, fresh and comfortable, bright and balanced, the aroma is extremely layered, the whole aroma and caramel sweetness are wrapped together, the tip of the tongue feels sour obviously, just mild and round in the mouth, the fruit is sweet and sweet, like swallowing a mouthful of fresh fruit tea, sweet and fragrant. The lower the temperature, the finer the acidity. Charm is also quite long-lasting, let people feel good satisfaction!

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!

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)

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 yield of La Esmeralda coffee, accounting for about 70% of the total family coffee production
