Panama is a Central American country bordering Costa Rica to the west and Colombia to the east. Anyone who knows something about single-origin coffee should know that Panama coffee is famous in the coffee world for the Geisha of the Emerald Estate. Thanks to the unique terroir and the growers' attitude towards coffee excellence, Panama has become a country rich in high-quality coffee today.
Compared with other South American countries, Panama’s coffee-growing area is not large. It is concentrated in the western part of the territory, especially the small town of Poquete. In fact, there are many excellent manors scattered in the Poquette production area. In addition to the Jade Manor mentioned at the beginning, there are also Alida Manor, Sophia Manor, etc., which are all well-known BPOP chateaus in the circle.
This is not only due to the superior ecological conditions of the Poquet area in Panama and the fertile volcanic ash soil provided by the Baru volcano, but also an important factor is that the microclimate in the Poquet highlands of Panama is a unique and important resource for the specialty coffee in the Poquet production area; this is Panama's eastward direction The western environment allows cold air to flow through the central mountains and converge above 6,500 feet, thus creating a variety of microclimates in the Poquet area, with temperature and rainfall reaching conditions that are very suitable for plant growth. Coffee trees can certainly develop well here, and Geisha is no exception.
Gesha was discovered in the Gesha Forest of Ethiopia in 1931, and was later sent to the Coffee Research Institute in Kenya. It was introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936, and to Costa Rica in 1953.
In 1963, Don Pachi Serracin introduced Geisha coffee tree species from Costa Rica to Panama. Because the yield was not high, which directly affected the harvest, coffee farmers were not willing to plant it. untilPanama Emerald Estate(Panama La Esmeralda) The owner of the manor, Daniel Peterson, accidentally discovered that the coffee beans produced by the coffee trees at the highest point of his coffee manor actually had the unique citrus and floral aroma of African beans, so he separated it and participated in the Panama Coffee Bean Cupping Competition in 2004 and became an instant hit. In the eyes of specialty coffee lovers around the world today, Gesha coffee beans are undoubtedly the supreme treasure.
At first, the price of Panamanian Geisha coffee on the market was not too expensive. However, as it won trophies again and again, more and more people were amazed by its delicious taste. Multiple buffs such as scarcity and high grade continued to accumulate. Later, with the support of various auction mechanisms, the selling price of this variety continued to soar. So today it has the title of "sky-high price coffee". The realization of Geisha freedom has become the wish of countless coffee people.
