The Panamanian Fine Coffee Association organizes a competition called "Best Panama": coffee beans from different parts of Panama are 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.

The Emerald Manor of Panama (La Esmeralda) is located in the corner of the Baru volcano, so the coffee beans produced in this area are mostly named after Baru Mountain, and the area around Boquete is scenic. There are many leisure hotels, villa, resort estates, and even along the important river Rio Caldera. La Esmeralda is located on the right side of the river in Jaramillo, and then grows coffee in the higher elevation area of Ca?as Verdes on the left side of the river, thanks to Rudolph Peterson's decision to buy the industry.

La Esmeralda Manor has won 12 coffee competitions so far, and the highest bidding record for three times in online open bidding is US $21 in 2004, US $50.25 in 2006 and US $130 in 2007. Of course, other countries have also raced a pound of good coffee close to $50 (Brazil's CoE champion Fazenda Santa inflows in 2005) and Guatemala CoE champion El Injerto $80.20 in 2008, but you pay attention to the time point, that is, when La Esmeralda set a record price, there was no bid to surpass her before, but she will surpass others and say she is a record creator, no fluke!
