Panama grows some of the world's best coffee, but no brew may be more coveted than the 'Geisha' varietal grown in remote parts of the country.
Panama grows some of the world's best coffee, but no brew may be more coveted than the"Geisha" varietal grown in remote parts of the country.
In western Panama's Chiriqui Province, coffee grower Ratibor Hartmann, his son Rabitor Junior, and coffee importer Ellen Fan took CBS News behind the scenes of their operation. The estate where they grow the coffee is located on the side of a mountain, where altitude and volcanic soil make it the perfect place to grow the famous beans. Ratibor said that breezes from the Pacific and Caribbean grace the mountain's slopes, adding to the flavor.
The bean made its way to Panama thanks to an experiment by the late Price Peterson and his family, who found that Geisha beans could survive some unfavorable weather. "It was no competition," said Daniel Peterson, Price Peterson's son."Judges, international judges that had been exposed to coffees around the world just - they fell in love with it."
