Panama Geisha coffee hits the spot at $601 a pound

Monday, July 31, 2017


Panama continues to produce  some of the world’s best – and most expensive  coffee –  with Asian buyers bidding a record breaking  $601 a pound for geisha coffee at the recent Best of Panama coffee auction. That translates into  a $50 a cup at the retail end.

The auction reinforces  the belief  that not only has quality improved among progressive farmers, but that there is a healthy and growing market at the very high end of the specialty coffee spectrum.
