How Panama Highland Coffee Came to Fame
The high elevations of Boquete, Panama, are well
known to have the perfect volcanic soil, cooler climate and the ideal ecosystem
to produce a truly one of the kind coffee.
However, up to a couple of years ago, there had
been little export of Boquete coffee because of the relatively low production
quantity. Then, the successive wins at
International Cupping competitions, and in 2010, the Best of Panama auctions
drew the world’s attention, when one of the Boquete specialty coffees sold for
USD170.20 a lb.
