History of Panama Coffee

Coffee was introduced to Panama in 1780, when Europeans brought the first Typica coffee trees. This mysterious and fascinating beverage soon conquered the senses of Panamanians, and locals began widespread cultivation. Panama coffee is exceptionally smooth, with full, light beans and perfectly balanced acidity. Its premium coffee beans offer pure, distinctive flavors. Due to widespread popularity, most of Panama's premium coffee beans are exported to France and Finland.

Main Coffee Growing Regions in Panama

Boquete Region

This region produces abundant, high-quality coffee, making it the area with the highest production and best quality in Panama.

Volcan Region

Coffee from this area is characterized by mild, balanced flavors and has gradually gained attention from international experts and coffee enthusiasts. It is believed to soon rival the Boquete region in prominence.

Santa Clara Region

Fertile coffee plantations are irrigated by the clear waters of the Chorerra waterfall, and proximity to the Panama Canal allows fresh, pure Panama coffee to be conveniently shipped worldwide.

Piedra de Candela Region

This region is considered to have the greatest potential for developing high-quality specialty coffee.

Panama has been the most popular coffee country in Central America over the past 5-6 years, primarily due to the Peterson family's Hacienda La Esmeralda, which grows Geisha coffee varieties that have driven coffee enthusiasts wild. Geisha is acclaimed as the world's finest coffee bean. For this reason, the Panama Cup of Excellence auction is independent from the Central and South American cupping competitions and was the first country to hold auctions, which take place every May. Panama coffee is impressive not only for its Geisha varieties but also for continuously innovative processing methods. Beyond traditional washed processing, it features honey processing popularized by neighboring Costa Rica, and Panama also produces small quantities of naturally processed beans that are gaining attention from coffee professionals worldwide.

Hacienda Eleta

Hacienda Eleta is located in the Santa Clara region, a small area just one kilometer from the Costa Rican border, near La Amistad International Park, a major primary forest reserve that forms part of the Central American ecological habitat. Hacienda Eleta began acquiring land in the 1970s, covering approximately 130 hectares initially used for vegetable cultivation and livestock operations. Coffee planting began in 1995 under the name Café de Eleta S.A., and the estate continued to expand its land area. Today, it spans 420 hectares, making it one of Panama's large-scale coffee plantations and one of the country's most renowned premium coffees. With abundant water resources, the estate operates a private 530KW hydroelectric power plant, which not only supplies its own electricity needs but also sells excess power to Distribución de Electricidad Chiriquí S.A. for grid connection.

Flavor Profile

This batch of coffee offers the purest, original flavors. Because Hacienda Eleta's SHB washed coffee is harvested from high-altitude Caturra coffee beans, it carries intense fruity and floral notes. The flavor characteristics include: creamy bread, apricot kernel sweetness, cane sugar sweetness, rounded acidity, complex aroma, balanced sweet and sour notes, and a pleasant mouthfeel.
