Famous farm owners from Panama gathered at the CROWD ROASTER booth!

On the 28th, from 3pm, the event was held at CROWD ROASTER booth and was titled "Producers talk about the appeal of Panamanian Geisha and the future of Panamanian coffee." It featured speakers from Panamanian farms and Mr. Yamaguchi, the representative of Barisa&Tierra.
 
 
The speakers here were some of the most famous farm owners in Panama!
 
We gathered together the owners of Farm Esmeralda, which we also did a special project for in CROWD ROASTER , as well as Farm Lerida, Farm Bambito, and Farm Altieri, who produce some of Panama's finest coffee.
 
At this event, each speaker gave a talk about their own farm.
It was clear from the stories that each producer was Shin working on coffee production. It was clear that the efforts of these producers are bearing fruit in the coffee.
 
We at CROWD ROASTER would like to continue to introduce the charms of Panamanian coffee, including Geisha , in the future.
Please stay tuned!

The Panamanian Ambassador will be on stage at the Panama Roasting Competition "PCRC 2023" Awards Ceremony

 
The final event of the day was the awards ceremony where the winners of the PANAMA COFFEE ROASTING COMPETITION 2023, the first roasting competition limited to Panamanian coffee, hosted by Barisa&Tierra, were announced.
 
The roasting competition was judged in two categories: Geisha division, which featured rare Geisha brands, and the Traditional division, which featured non- Geisha varieties.
More than 80 people participated, and the top eight finalists, who had been announced in advance, were awarded prizes.
And the first champion was announced here!
 
The result was a surprising one: Shinya Kobayashi roaster at Wakoya, a specialty coffee shop in Fukui City, won both categories!
The winner, Kobayashi , was presented with the trophy by special guest, Carlos Pele, the Panamanian Ambassador to Japan.
 
 
The coffee roasted by Kobayashi at the finals will be available for special sale at CROWD ROASTER .
