Famous farm owners from Panama gathered at CROWD ROASTER booth!
The event, held at CROWD ROASTER booth from 3:00 p.m. on the 28th, was titled "Producers talk about the appeal of Panamanian Geisha and the future of Panamanian coffee," and featured Panamanian farm owners and Barisa & Tierra CEO Yamaguchi.

The speakers here were owners of famous farms in Panama!
We gathered together the owners of Esmeralda Farm, which we also featured in a special event at CROWD ROASTER , as well as Lerida Farm, Bambito Farm, and Altieri Farm, which produce some of Panama's most beautiful coffees.
At this event, each speaker gave a talk about their own farm.
It was clear from their stories that each producer was Shin committed to making coffee. It was clear that the efforts of these producers are bearing fruit in the coffee.
We at CROWD ROASTER would like to continue introducing the appeal of Panamanian coffee, including Geisha , in the future.
Stay tuned!
