World’s best coffee in this tiny locale
A sensory journey - exploring Panama's coffee culture.
Your coffee adventure begins in Boquete, nestled in the picturesque Chiriquí Highlands. This charming mountain town is considered the coffee capital of Panama, boasting an ideal climate and volcanic soil that nurture some of the finest Arabica coffee beans in the world. Wander through the meticulously manicured coffee plantations, where the air is infused with the enchanting fragrance of coffee blooms.
The journey begins at the coffee fields, where you'll witness the meticulous process of harvesting ripe coffee cherries by hand. Engage with local farmers, learn about their time-honoured techniques, and understand the dedication that goes into cultivating each bean. Follow the beans' path through the post-harvest process, from pulping to drying, and gain insight into how each step impacts the coffee's final flavour profile.
Prepare your taste buds for an extraordinary experience as you partake in coffee-tasting and cupping sessions. Savvy baristas and coffee experts will guide you through the art of cupping, teaching you to discern the subtle nuances of different coffee varieties.
Beyond the beans, immerse yourself in the cultural aspect of Panama's coffee heritage by engaging in conversations with locals. Learn all about the integral role coffee plays in their traditions and way of life. Many coffee estates in the country prioritize eco-friendly farming methods, protecting the environment while ensuring the quality of their coffee. By participating in coffee tours that support sustainable practices, you actively contribute to the preservation of Panama's precious ecosystems and communities.
