Bright taste Panamanian coffee flavor manor features boutique coffee beans introduction

Far from the southwest coast of Panama, Kuiba National Park protects the waters around Kuiba, 38 small islands and Chiriki Bay. Koiba's Pacific rainforest is unaffected by cold winds and El Ni ñ o, and because of the continued evolution of new species, it contains extremely high levels of endemic mammals, birds and plants. It is also the last refuge for many endangered animals like the crowned eagle.

It is an important natural laboratory for scientists and provides a key link in the ecology of the hot eastern Pacific for the transfer and survival of pelagic fish and marine mammals. Koiba National Park, which provides shelter for 760 species of marine fish, 37 species of sharks and 20 species of whales, is known as a "biological treasure house".

American Bridge

The American Bridge (formerly known as the Thatcher Ferry Bridge) is a road bridge across the Pacific Ocean at the entrance of the Panama Canal. The American Bridge was built in 1962 at a cost of 20 million US dollars. before the centennial bridge was completed and opened to traffic in 2004, the American Bridge was the only bridge connecting the North and South American continents.

The American Bridge, which is 1653 meters long, flies high on both sides of the canal, and the steel frame rises upward in a bow, like a dragon of the Weizhen Canal. It takes only a few minutes for a car to cross the bridge from South America to North America, so Panama City's superior location is unparalleled in the world. According to statistics, about 40,000 cars pass through every day, and many ships pass under the bridge. There are some small stalls near the bridgehead, selling a variety of local tourist souvenirs, including the famous Panama straw hat. The bridge is an impressive building, with a steady stream under it and pedestrians on it. At the end of the day, many ships pass under the bridge because they want to enter or leave the Panama Canal. Contadora is a small island of Panama, and it is difficult to find it on an ordinary map. But recently, the name "Contadora" often appears in newspapers and periodicals, making this tiny place famous. Contadora Island is an international financial center, and known as the "Pearl Island", is a prestigious international tourist destination. Contadora Island, located about 56 kilometers at the entrance to the Pacific side of the Panama Canal, is a scenic and vibrant island in the Republic of Panama.

Between the blue sea and blue sky, a group of beautiful scenery suddenly unfolded; the pearl islands dotted with stars, competing for wonders, jumped into view one after another. The green waves, white sand, coconut groves and bushes on Contadora Island are incomparably beautiful. Contadora Island, which has long attracted tourists from all over the world for its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, is now famous, but the Contadora Group, which insists on running for peace in Central America, was born on the island. In January 1983, the foreign ministers of Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia and Panama from Central America met on Contadora Island to put forward the initiative of "peaceful settlement of the Central American conflict." Later, the foreign ministers of the four countries often came forward collectively to mediate the contradictions and conflicts among Central American countries, known as the "Contadora Group." As a result, Contadora Island often appears in newspapers and is known to the people of the world.

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. When coffee prices were relatively low, the Panamanian Fine Coffee Association organized a competition called "Best Panama": coffee beans from different parts of Panama were ranked and auctioned online. Esmeralda Manor has been growing a kind of coffee called "Geisha" for many years, and the auction has made their coffee known to more people. Then they won the first place in the competition for four consecutive years from 2004 to 2007, and then won the competition again in 2009 and 2013. It kept breaking records until it was priced at $21/lb in 2004 and then rose to $170/lb in 2010. In 2013, a small portion of the sun-treated coffee was sold for $350.25/lb. There is no doubt that this is the highest price ever sold for a single manor coffee.

Unlike some other high-priced coffee (such as cat shit, Blue Mountain), the coffee quality of this estate is really up to its price level, although high demand and market factors also play a role. This record-breaking coffee tastes unusual: bright and strong floral and citrus flavors, full of tea. All these come from the advantages of "Geisha".
