Introduction to the flavor description of high-quality coffee beans in Panamanian coffee producing area

Panama is rich in mineral resources, but not much is mined and the mines are small. The main minerals are gold, silver, copper, iron, mercury, bauxite, manganese, salt, oil and so on. Copper, salt, bauxite reserves are relatively large. As of 2013, Panama's copper ore reserves exceeded 200 million tons, ranking fourth in the world. The proven copper reserves can be mined for 50 years. Panama's national emblem was launched in 1904. The national emblem is made of a brown eagle with its head raised and wings spread.

A white ribbon bearing the Panamanian motto "For the Good of the World" stands above the national emblem. In the middle of the national emblem are the coffee-colored isthmus of Panama, the blue Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and the Panama Canal connecting them; under the blue sky, a bright moon has risen, and the corresponding sunset is not over, and the golden light is shining, symbolizing Panama's independence is coming at the "sunset and moonrise"; the silver sword and rifle crossed at the upper left, experiencing the ups and downs of hundreds of years of war on Panamanian soil.

Panamanian coffee Fine coffee is grown in the west of the country, near Costa Rica and near the Pacific Ocean. The Boquet district of Chiriqui province is best known for its coffee production, as are Vocan and Santa Clara. Other districts include David, Remacimeinto, Bugaba and Tole. Only those grown at altitudes between 1,300 and 1,500 meters above sea level are considered special coffees. Panama's Boquete region, located in Chiriqui province on the border with Costa Rica, is home to Panama's famous GEISHA coffee, known for producing high-quality Arabica coffee. TEDMAN & MACINTYRE ESTATE, located 4000 feet above sea level in the mountains of Porgate, originated from two of Panama's earliest coffee families, the TEDMAN family and the MACINTYRE family. In 1925, Canadian fruit merchant Alexander DUNCAN MACINTYRE (ALEXANDER DUNCAN MACINTYRE ) was infected by his brother Joseph and settled in Porgate. In the same year, he married ANGELA ROSAS and bought a manor named "LA CAROLINA" to start growing coffee. Their descendants still own the estate and it has become one of the most famous coffee estates in the area.

Coffee was first brought to Panama by European settlers in the 19th century. In the past, Panamanian coffee was not very popular and its production was only 1/10 of that of its neighbor Costa Rica, but now the coffee industry's attention to fine coffee has made Panama increasingly interested in growing coffee.

Panama's geographical advantage lies in the fact that it has many distinctive microclimates suitable for coffee cultivation, and Panama also has many dedicated and professional coffee growers. This means that Panama has a lot of very good coffee, but this coffee is often associated with high prices.

The high coffee prices in Panama are mainly caused by the following factors:

Land Price: For the people of North America, they are very eager to buy a stable and beautiful land at a cheap price. Panama is one such place;

Panama's more farmers export coffee under the name of estates to emphasize their own estates;

Panama's labor laws impose high labor requirements, so the coffee industry has to pay higher wages, which consumers have to pay.

Esmeralda Estate

When discussing coffee prices, we should pay great attention to one plantation in Panama, and even say that no other single plantation has so far had such an impact on coffee cultivation in Central America. This is Esmeralda Estate, owned and run by the Petersons.

Panama is a small country located in the heart of the American continent. The waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans wash over its beaches.

Panama is located at 9 degrees north latitude, at the confluence of the Central Mountain Range, where Mount Baru, one of the highest volcanoes in Central America, is located.

With an elevation of more than 11,400 feet, the surrounding land is rich in nutrients and fertile soil, providing sufficient conditions for the planting and cultivation of Panamanian coffee.

These uplands have the right microclimate, soil, temperature and altitude for the planting, cultivation and harvesting of a wide variety of specialty coffees. These coffees have jasmine, citrus, ripe fruit, berry, caramel, special sweetness, vanilla, chocolate and many other flavors.

Unique coffee.

Panamanian coffee is sorted and numbered in small batches designed to be small in volume for optimal management, and the sorting number allows buyers to understand and track information throughout the process.

Due to its small volume, Panamanian coffee products are based on specialty coffee. The state supplies its quality products to specialist stores in countries around the world such as Denmark, Britain, Greece, Norway, Sweden, South Korea, Japan, China Taiwan Province and the United States
