FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Panama Boquete Coffee

Panama is a Central American country, bordering Costa Rica to the west and Colombia to the east. Those familiar with single-origin coffee should know that Panama coffee is famous in the coffee world for the Geisha variety from Hacienda La Esmeralda. It can be said to be a country that pursues excellence in coffee and produces high-quality coffee.

Boquete is a town in the Chiriqui province, located near the border between Panama and Costa Rica, close to the famous Baru Volcano. With its beautiful scenery, fertile and rich soil, and climate and terrain perfectly suited for producing high-quality coffee.

Within the Boquete growing region, there are many excellent estates. Besides the famous Hacienda La Esmeralda, there are also renowned estates like Elida Estate and Akaba Estate, all producing high-quality specialty coffee. This is not only due to the superior ecological conditions of the Panama Boquete region and the fertile volcanic ash soil of the Baru Volcano area.

Another important factor is the unique microclimate in the highlands of Panama Boquete, which is an exclusive resource for the region's specialty coffee; Panama's east-to-west environment causes cold air currents to converge above 6,500 feet through the central mountain range, creating various microclimates in the Boquete area. These conditions make the temperature and rainfall perfect for plant growth, allowing coffee trees planted here to thrive exceptionally well.

In such a得天独厚的 growing environment of Boquete, there's naturally more than just the Geisha from Hacienda La Esmeralda—a coffee king known for its exceptional flavor, quality, and value. However, drinking Geisha daily would be quite extravagant, and even if financially feasible, indulging in such luxury every day isn't quite right. The same applies to coffee—broad exploration brings more joy to appreciating the pleasures of coffee.

So in the land of Boquete, there's a bean with exceptionally high value for money. And it has a very beautiful name — Mariposa.

It possesses 40% premium Geisha heritage, composed of three varieties: Geisha, Caturra, and Catuai. Grown in the Baru Volcano region of Boquete, at an altitude of 1,600 meters in volcanic terrain, the processing plant uses refined washed processing. Panama's special local microclimate leads to abundant rainfall in this area, coupled with significant day-night temperature differences. Combined with the unique volcanic rock soil of the volcanic region, as well as meticulous harvesting and refined processing, this coffee performs exceptionally well in body, acidity, and floral notes.

Even more surprisingly, on top of its excellent quality, the very approachable price makes this coffee bean's value for money outstanding. The special feature of this coffee bean is that it's composed of three varieties, with 40% Geisha variety, giving this coffee very distinct Geisha flavor characteristics.
