Introduction to the flavor and taste of high-quality coffee beans in Panama Cupid coffee producing area

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]

Mineral resources

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.

Forest resources

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] according to FAO estimates in 2010, the forest area of Panama is 4.29 million hectares, accounting for 57% of the land area.

The Emerald Manor brings geisha to coffee drinkers all over the world. before setting off the rosy summer red cap, she turned out to be a member of the windbreak on the edge of the coffee forest, because the variety of geisha coffee below 1400m has no economic value because of its mediocre flavor and extremely low yield. however, if planted in an altitude area above 1500m and tempered by the cold wind, it will show a unique flavor spectrum. Emerald Manor owner Peterson and his son stumbled upon the secret and set out to plant Geisha independently and participate in the 2004 BOP competition with Hara Miyou selection (Jaramillo Special), which brought out the world geisha craze.

Where exactly does Geisha come from?

According to the data of all parties, the spread route is roughly as follows: in 1931, the British envoy went to Geisha Mountain in Ethiopia to collect disease-resistant bean seeds-- 1931-1932 seeds were spread to Kitale in Kenya under the names of Geisha and Abyssinian-- young plants were transplanted in 1936 to the Ryan Mugu Coffee Research Institute (Lyamungu) in Uganda and Tanzania-1953 Costa Rica's CATIE Coffee Research Institute has repeatedly introduced young plants from Ryan Mugu and other countries-Don Bach, a coffee farmer in Panama, introduced disease-resistant geisha varieties from CATIE in 1963. Although there are materials to prove it, geisha have been around for decades, it is difficult to determine whether today's geisha are the seeds introduced at that time, and whether they have experienced hybrids is no longer known.

The unique orange flavor of Panamanian geisha, with the "orange gene kissed by God", must have benefited from the protection of good mountains and water in Panama. The low temperature and stable climate at high altitude makes the coffee here grow slowly and the beans are hard. All have a unique and strong flavor. Although geisha is good, its output is really limited. The annual production of geisha in the Jade Manor is less than 12 tons, and the top grade is no more than 200 to 300 kilograms, so it is difficult to satisfy the taste buds of coffee lovers all over the world. as a result, major well-known producing areas around the world have stepped up the trial of geisha, trying to show different landforms and different flavors of geisha.

Panama's geographical conditions from east to west let the cold air flow through the Central Mountains converge to more than 6500 feet, thus forming a variety of unique microclimates in Boquete, Volc á n, Candela, Santa Clara and other places, coupled with nutritious and balanced volcanic ash soil, these areas have also become Panamanian coffee and famous producers of the world's top boutique coffee.

Coffee cultivation in Panama began with the first batch of Typica coffee seedlings brought by Europeans in 1780, and today it has been developed and planted with Typica, Caturra, Catuai and Geisha varieties, producing jasmine, citrus, ripe fruit, berries, caramel, special sweetness, vanilla, chocolate and other flavors. According to the variety, the output of Panamanian coffee is small, only 240t per year, and Geisha is less than 5%. Panamanian coffee is mostly washed, refreshing and clean can highlight the citrus aroma of geisha, but in recent years, sun geisha also has quite a bright spot, and the transaction price often exceeds that of water washing.
