Uniformly Smooth Panama Flint Estate Specialty Coffee Bean Variety Cultivation Market Price Introduction

Panama Premium Coffee

Panama premium coffee is grown in the western part of the country, near Costa Rica and close to the Pacific Ocean. The coffee produced in the Boquet region of Chiriqui province is the most famous, with Volcan, Santa Clara, and Candela also well known. Other regions include the David district, Remacimiento district, Bugaba district, and Tole district. Only coffee grown at altitudes between 1300 and 1500 meters is considered specialty coffee.

Catuai

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

Cupping Notes

Dried fruit aroma, rich fruit acidity, noticeable sweetness in the cup, lemon, orange, cranberry, green tea, with a uniform and smooth texture, soft and with some floral notes, long-lasting aftertaste.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Panama's Catuai is a gently sweet, clean cup, and FrontStreet Coffee carries several Panamanian coffees from the same western highlands. The Diamond Mountain, grown by Hacienda La Esmeralda from Caturra and Catuai on the estate's Jaramillo and Cañas Verdes farms, is an easy place to start if you enjoy the fruit-forward, honey-processed style described above.

For something more floral, the Panama Boquete Geisha is planted at 1,600 meters and drinks with jasmine, green tea, honey, citrus, and orange, while the Flower Butterfly, a Geisha, Caturra, and Catuai blend from the Baru Volcano area, shows excellent body and citrus acidity and works well for both pour-over and cold brew.
