BOQUETE Panama is located in Chiriqui province on the border with Costa Rica. It is the origin of Panama's famous GEISHA coffee and is famous for producing high-quality Arabica coffee. TEDMAN & MACINTYRE ESTATE, located 4000 feet above sea level in the mountains of Porgate, originated from two of Panama's earliest coffee families, the TEDMAN family and the MACINTYRE family. In 1925, Canadian fruit merchant Alexander DUNCAN MACINTYRE (ALEXANDER DUNCAN MACINTYRE ) was infected by his brother Joseph and settled in Porgate. In the same year, he married ANGELA ROSAS and bought a manor named "LA CAROLINA" to start growing coffee. Their descendants still own the estate and it has become one of the most famous coffee estates in the area.

Panama's geographical advantage lies in the fact that it has many distinctive microclimates suitable for coffee cultivation, and Panama also has many dedicated and professional coffee growers. This means that Panama has a lot of very good coffee, but this coffee is often associated with high prices.

The high coffee prices in Panama are mainly caused by the following factors:

Land Price: For the people of North America, they are very eager to buy a stable and beautiful land at a cheap price. Panama is one such place;

Panama's more farmers export coffee under the name of estates to emphasize their own estates;

Panama's labor laws impose higher labor requirements, so the coffee industry pays higher wages, which consumers have to pay

Coffee was first brought to Panama by European settlers in the 19th century. In the past, Panamanian coffee had a poor reputation and its production was only 1/10 of that of its neighbor Costa Rica, but now the coffee world's attention to fine coffee has made Panama increasingly interested in growing coffee.
