Catuai

"Catuai" is a hybrid of Mundo Novo and Caturra, truly a second-generation blend. It inherits Caturra's advantage of low plant height, and the variety name Catuai comes from an indigenous word meaning "very good." As a member of the Arabica family, Catuai is relatively high-yielding.

Cupping Notes: Dried fruit aroma, rich fruit acidity, with distinct sweetness upon entry. Lemon, orange, cranberry, and green tea notes, with a uniform and smooth texture, softness carrying subtle floral notes, and a long-lasting aftertaste.

Panama

Population: 3,406,000

Panama's coffee definition is based on how coffee is produced rather than geographical division. Previously, when coffee was more widely cultivated and the regions listed below were smaller and more closely clustered, the coffee beans produced could be combined as a single unit.

BOQUETE

The Boquete growing region is the most famous Panama producing area. Its mountainous terrain creates many microclimates. The relatively cool weather and frequent fog help slow the maturation of coffee cherries, which some consider similar to high-altitude climate conditions.

Altitude: 400-1,900m
Harvest: December - March
Varieties: Typica, Caturra, Catuai, Bourbon, Geisha, San Ramon

VOLCAN-CANDELA

The Volcan Candela region produces most of Panama's food and some amazing coffee. The region is named after Baru Volcano and the city of Piedra Candela, bordering Costa Rica.

Altitude: 1,200-1,600m
Harvest: December - March
Varieties: Typica, Caturra, Catuai, Bourbon, Geisha, San Ramon

RENACIMIENTO

Renacimiento is a growing region in Chiriqui province, bordering Costa Rica. The area itself is relatively small, so it is not a major specialty coffee producing region in Panama.

Altitude: 1,100-1,500m
Harvest: December - March
Varieties: Typica, Caturra, Catuai, Bourbon, Geisha, San Ramon

Panama's premium coffee is grown in the western part of the country, near Costa Rica and close to the Pacific Ocean. Coffee produced in the Boquete district of Chiriqui province is the most famous, with Volcan, Santa Clara, and Candela also being well-known. Other regions include the David district, Remacimiento district, Bugaba district, and Tole district. Only coffee grown at altitudes between 1,300 and 1,500 meters is considered specialty coffee.
