The results of Panama's international competition "Best of Panama 2023", which is a hot topic in the coffee industry every year, have finally been announced.
In this article, I would like to take a look at the results for each of the three categories.
What is Best of Panama (BoP)?
Best of Panama is a Panamanian coffee fair that began in 1996 and is sponsored by the Panama Specialty Coffee Association.
Geisha , which is now a globally popular variety, was exhibited for the first time by Esmeralda Farm at a competition in 2004, and with its unprecedented special taste and aroma, it was Hikaru at a high price. It is one of the more expensive coffees.
It is no exaggeration to say that a new coffee movement will start from BoP, so it is a fair that attracts attention from people in the coffee industry every year.
The first place in Geisha category is said to be sold at the world's highest price every year, and at last year's fair, Saza Coffee and others sold green coffee beans (100 pounds: about 45 kilograms) worth about 3,000 cups. It became a hot topic when it was sold for 29.8 million yen ($200,049), or approximately 9,900 yen per cup.
