TEDMAN & MACINTYRE ESTATE, 4000 feet above sea level in the mountains of Porgate, originated in 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.

Panama has been among the world's best coffee producers since three years ago, surprising countries that have been in the vanguard of developer production for many years. Panamanian coffee is mainly produced in the west near the Costa Rican border, producing the best washed coffee. Compared with coffee beans grown at low and middle elevations, the low temperature and stable climate at high elevations in Panama are more beneficial to the growth of coffee beans. The coffee beans grown here grow slowly, have the strongest and special flavor, and the hardness of the coffee is the hardest.

The first batch of coffee exported by Panama each year starts in November, and almost all high-quality coffee beans are shipped to France and Finland. Generally speaking, the price of Panamanian coffee belongs to the low and medium price, but its performance in the cup is often as good as that of any famous or even expensive coffee producing area. Panamanian specialty coffee is among the highest selling prices in the international market.
