Introduction to the price of taste treatment in the producing area of Panamanian Cupid coffee

In the Pokuit producing area, there are also many excellent manors, except the famous Emerald Manor, Alida Manor, Aqaba Manor and so on, all of which produce high-quality boutique coffee. This is not only due to the superior ecological conditions of the Pokuit region of Panama and the fertile volcanic ash soil of the Baru volcanic land. Another important factor is that the microclimate in the Poquet Heights of Panama is a unique and important resource for boutique coffee in the Pokuit region. This is the Panamanian environment from east to west that allows cold air to converge above 6500 feet through the Central Mountains, thus creating a variety of microclimates in the Pokuit region, making its temperature and rainfall very suitable for plant growth. so the coffee trees grown here grow very well.

In Poquet's unique planting environment, there is naturally not only the rose summer of emerald, the king of coffee, regardless of flavor, quality and value, but I think it is quite extravagant to drink rose summer every day, and even if there is no economic pressure, it is not like eating shark's fin and bear's paw every day. The same is true of coffee. Only by dabbling in a wide range of subjects can you enjoy the pleasure of tasting coffee more. Then in the land of Pokuit, there is a bean with a high performance-to-price ratio. And it has a very beautiful name-Flower Butterfly. She has 40% high-quality Rosa pedigree, which is composed of Rosa, Kaddura and Kaduai. It is planted in the Baru volcano region of Pokut and grows in the volcanic area at an altitude of 1600 meters. The treatment plant uses fine washing treatment. Panama's special local microclimate leads to abundant rainfall in this area, and a large temperature difference between day and night, coupled with the unique volcanic rock and soil of the volcanic area, as well as meticulous harvesting and fine treatment. It makes this coffee perform well in terms of firmness, acidity and floral aroma.

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 that grows "Geisha", the price of its coffee is always higher than that of other estates.

Traceability of origin

Panamanian coffee has high traceability of origin. Generally speaking, the origin of coffee in Panama can be traced to a single manor or even to a certain field of the manor.
