Panama coffee has been the most popular country in Central America for the past 5-6 years, mainly because of a coffee tree variety, Geisha, cultivated by the Peterson family's Hacienda La Esmeralda, which has driven coffee enthusiasts crazy. Therefore, Geisha is promoted as the world's top coffee bean. For this reason, the Panama Cup of Excellence competition auction is independent of the Central and South American Cupping Competition and is also the earliest auction country held in mid-May each year. Panama coffee is impressive not only in the Geisha variety but also in the mid-level green bean processing process, which continues to innovate. Not only are there traditional water processing methods, but also the honey processing method popular in neighboring Costa Rica. Additionally, the gradually emerging sun-dried beans in Central America are also produced in small quantities by Panama coffee, attracting attention from coffee professionals worldwide.

Coffee was introduced to Panama in 1780 when Europeans brought the first Typica tree varieties. Afterwards, this mysterious and peculiar beverage conquered the senses of Panamanians, and locals began to cultivate it widely. Panama coffee is very smooth, with full, light-weight beans, and perfectly balanced acidity. Its high-quality coffee beans have pure, highly distinctive flavors. Due to its widespread popularity, most of Panama's premium coffee beans are exported to France and Finland.
