With the coffee tress grown in a mix of volcanic ash and soil, Panama Boquete coffee beans carry within them nutrients found in only the richest of soil. Some go to the ends of the earth for the best coffee beans, we've actually gone to the center.

Sometimes referred to as, 'Panama Boquete', this coffee is situated in Panama between the Caldera River, which lies to the east, and Baru Volcano to its west. What does this mean for your cup of coffee?

Volcanic lava that emits from the center of the earth has not ever been exposed to sun or air meaning it has retained its nutrients for centuries. These trees were planted, cultivated and nourished with all the rich nutrients found in the volcanic soil giving each bean increased acidic levels, therefore improving the flavor. The high altitude of Boquete offers increased precipitation and protection of the plant by late afternoon cloud coverage. Because the nights are cooler at this altitude, our trees develop more slowly which gives a fuller flavor to the beans.

The Baru Volcano has been called one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Great coffees are produced under the shade of old growth trees. This shading prevents over exposure from the sun allowing the coffee cherries to develop slowly increasing flavor and complexity in the cup. Shade trees also provide an ideal habitat for songbirds, which are very important in controlling harmful insects. These micro-ecosystems produce great coffees and provide habitat for diverse flora and fauna.

The Neidhammer Select Panama Gourmet Coffee is available in whole beans and three different grinds: Drip-Grind, French-Press or Espresso Grind. Each coffee is freshly roasted just for your order and packed in a 1-pound heat-sealed valve bag that will ensure the freshest coffee.
