Description of Coffee Flavor in Panamanian Jadeite Manor; introduction to the taste of varieties in producing areas

When the commodity price of coffee was 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 advantage of "Geisha".

This estate has led to the cultivation of "Geisha" in many coffee plantations not only in Panama but also throughout Central America. For many coffee farmers, this variety means a high price, and to a large extent, this perception is correct. Because as a manor growing "Geisha", the price of its coffee is always higher than that of other estates.

Planting environment

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

Panama is located at 9 degrees north latitude, the meeting point of the Central Mountains, where Mount Baru, one of the highest volcanoes in Central America, is located.

The Baru volcano has an altitude of more than 11400 feet, and the land around it is rich in nutritious and fertile soil, providing sufficient conditions for the sowing and cultivation of coffee endemic to Panama.

The appropriate microclimate, soil, temperature and height of these highlands are suitable for sowing, planting and harvesting a variety of unique coffees. These coffees have jasmine, citrus, ripe fruit, berries, caramel, special sweetness, vanilla, chocolate and other flavors.

Unique coffee

Panamanian coffee is classified and numbered into small batches, which are designed to have a small capacity for optimal management, and classification numbers allow buyers to understand and track the entire process.

Because of its small quantity, Panamanian coffee products are based on special coffee. The country provides its high-quality products to specialized stores around the world, such as Denmark, Britain, Greece, Norway, Sweden, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan Province of China and the United States.
