Analysis of taste and flavor characteristics of Panamanian coffee bean market Flower Butterfly

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.

Panama's geographical advantage is that it has many distinctive microclimate areas suitable for coffee cultivation, and Panama also has many persistent and professional coffee growers. This means there will be a lot of very good coffee in Panama, but these coffees are often associated with high prices.

The high price of coffee in Panama is mainly caused by the following factors:

Land price: for the people of North America, they very much want to buy a stable and beautiful land at a low price. Panama is such a place;

More farmers in Panama grow coffee for export in the name of manors to emphasize their own manors;

Panamanian labor law has higher requirements for labor employment, so the coffee industry needs to pay higher wages, which have to be paid by consumers.

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.
