Panamanian coffees include rare varietals such as the Geisha, native to Ethiopia. The Boquete region supplies some of Panama’s finest coffees, typically fruity, medium-bodied and complex with a uniquely spicy character. The best-known Panama coffee is grown in the Boquete region, just south of the border with Costa Rica. The majority of Boquete coffees come from trees of the Typica variety. Panama coffees generally tend to display more complexity and distinctive character than coffees from neighboring Costa Rica. Panamanian coffee is generally washed.
