Introduction to the flavor and taste characteristics of Panamanian Coffee Manor

Panama is located on the Panamanian isthmus in Central America, bounded by Colombia to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the south.

It is bordered by Costa Rica to the west and the Caribbean to the north. The territory is S-shaped to connect North and South America, and the Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans from north to south. It is known as the "bridge of the world". [5] Panama has an area of 75517 square kilometers and a land length of 772km.

The whole territory of Panama is undulating, with vertical and horizontal valleys, mostly mountains except the north and south coastal plains. [6]

Panama is near the equator and has a tropical maritime climate. It is humid during the day and cool at night. The annual average temperature is 23-27C °. The whole year is divided into two seasons: drought and rain, with an average annual precipitation of 1500m3 2500mm. [6]

Natural resources.

Panamanian land use: arable land accounts for 8.9%, permanent pastures account for 20.0%, forests and woodland account for 43.0%, others account for 28.1%; per capita arable land accounts for 0.6 acres. [2]

Panama is rich in mineral resources, but it is not exploited much, and the scale of the mine is small. The main minerals are gold, silver, copper, iron, mercury, bauxite, manganese, salt, oil and so on. The reserves of copper, salt and bauxite are relatively large. As of 2013, Panama has more than 200 million tons of copper ore, ranking fourth in the world. The proven copper reserves can be mined for 50 years. [5]

Panama is rich in forest resources and has many tree species, including valuable wood such as mahogany, cedar, teak, mahogany, and cedar. The forest area of eastern Dalian Province is the most widely distributed, but it has not been fully developed due to lack of market and for reasons such as national defense and protection of the natural ecological environment. [5] in 2010, FAO estimated that the forest area of Panama was 4.29 million hectares, accounting for 57 per cent of the land area. [9]

National flag

The Panamanian flag was launched on November 3, 1904. The flag is rectangular and the ratio of length to width is 3:2. The flag consists of four rectangles of white, red and blue. White symbolizes peace; red and blue represent the former Panamanian Liberal Party and the Conservative Party respectively, and they are also symbols of the two parties' United struggle for the interests of the nation. The blue star on the white background at the top left represents loyalty and integrity, while the red star on the white background at the lower right represents the authority of the law. The design of the crosshairs divided into four pieces represents that Panama is located at the junction of South America, North America, Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Red, blue and white are the colors of the American Stars and Stripes that support the independence of Panama. The flag was designed by Manuel Amador Guerrero, the first president of Panama.

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.
