Coffee. You can probably smell the scent of coffee just by my typing the word. Coffee is grown all over our part of Panama. In fact, the most expensive coffee in the world is grown in Boquete. It’s called Geisha coffee. Last August, one Japanese company purchased Geisha coffee at auction for a record US$4,541.83 /pound (about $10,013 /kilogram). The coffee is very mild in flavor and if you come visit, we’ll be able to take you on a coffee tour where you’ll be able to taste many varieties of coffee, including Geisha.
We were almost out of coffee and so we did what we needed to do and drove to Costa Rica to get more. Ok, Costa Rica is also known for coffee and it’s only about 1 hour and 30 minutes from our house. It’s a nice day trip and on this particular day, our friend Sylvia joined us. When we finished getting coffee, we drove about 30 minutes south and had lunch in the small coastal town of Puerto Armuelles.
But the best part of the day? THIS VIEW!
