Flavor description of Cupid Coffee beans in Pokuit producing area of Panama

The BOQUETE region of Panama, located in the province of CHIRIQUI on the border with Costa Rica, is the home of Panama's famous GEISHA coffee and is famous for producing high-quality Arabica coffee. The Tedman & McIntyre (TEDMAN&MACINTYRE ESTATE) estate, located in the mountain area of Poggett 4000 feet above sea level, comes from the two earliest coffee families in Panama, the Tedman family and the McIntyre family. In 1925, Canadian fruit merchant Alexander McIntyre (ALEXANDER DUNCAN MACINTYRE), infected by his brother Joseph, came to Poggett to settle down, married ANGELA ROSAS in the same year, bought an estate named "LA CAROLINA" and began to grow coffee. Their descendants still own the estate and become one of the most famous coffee farms in the area.

As a matter of fact, Panamanian coffee has not been given due recognition and attention in the boutique coffee market. Good Panamanian coffee has always been used by unscrupulous businessmen to imitate Hawaii kona coffee and even Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Panamanian coffee generally belongs to the low and medium price, but its performance in the cup is often not inferior to that of any famous or even expensive coffee producing area. Excellent Panamanian coffee flavor is bright, pure, medium consistency (taste, body) comfortable and mild, and even has excellent complexity. In a few years, these high-quality, reasonably priced boutique Panamanian coffee will be popular all over the world!

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.
