Geisha coffee, a speciality coffee grown in the northern Panama region of Boquete, is considered to be the most expensive in the world — in 2019, the bean broke all records by selling for over $1,000 a pound at auction — and every year it attracts coffee-loving buyers from as far as South Korea.<\/p>\n

“We’re never going to compete on a commodity level. We’re blessed by this terroir, we’re a speciality and a luxury item, and that’s our niche, that’s our niche in the market. And we have a market for that in Asia, but it’s opening all over the world,”\u00a0Justin Boudeman, Longboard Specialty Coffee producer said.<\/p>\n

“The taste of Panama coffee is very special, which is probably because it is between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and it’s the result of a very particular climate and conditions. The Geisha Panama coffee is pretty well known, and that is why I have come here looking for this particular coffee flavor,”\u00a0Jung Min Lee, CEO of Marisstella Roasters & Coffee Lab also said.
