For its preparation, corn grains of a special type are used, which are placed in a pot or container, and roasted (usually by frying them in vegetable oil) until an explosion occurs. Only a few varieties of corn (one of them, called popcorn or rosette corn or the variety Zea mays everata Sturt) produce the desired result, which is the sudden expansion of the grain content that causes the sudden rupture of the husk, and the formation of a white spongy mass, a phenomenon that is mainly due to overheating of internal moisture and the starch contained within.
These are peeled and degermed pieces of our large, clean and healthy White Corn grains. It is a real feast for your taste buds. It retains its delicate sweet flavor and starchy texture once cooked. Its color is a perfect white, revealing its interior.

While many countries produce excellent coffee, Panama stands in a league of its own. The enchanting allure of Panama coffee is deeply rooted in its unique characteristics, showcasing the perfect blend of distinct flavors, remarkable growing conditions, and diverse coffee varieties, most notably, the celebrated Geisha.
Much like fine wine, Panama geisha's elegant flavor encapsulates its origins and careful production techniques. It has a trademark essence, exhibiting a light body accompanied by a highly aromatic flavor. The first tasting note is akin to jasmine, continued by a balanced tartness that opens to a bouquet of fruit. Frequent descriptors include papaya, mango, berries, and oranges all sweet, juicy, and delectable descriptors.
Panamanian Arabian coffee is considered one of the finest in the world, and it stands out for several key reasons that contribute to its exceptional quality and flavor:
The high-altitude regions of Panama, particularly the Boquete and Volcin areas, provide a unique environment for growing coffee. The combination of rich volcanic soil, cooler temperatures, and abundant rainfall creates an ideal growing environment. This terroir imparts a distinct, refined flavor profile to the coffee beans, with subtle notes of fruit, floral, and citrus undertones.
Panama's coffee farmers employ traditional and sustainable farming practices, often passed down through generations. The focus on quality over quantity means that the beans are carefully hand-picked at peak ripeness, ensuring the best flavor extraction.
Many Panamanian coffee farms are small, family-owned operations that prioritize quality over mass production. These farms often use artisanal methods to process the coffee beans, such as washed, natural, or honey processing, which further enhances the complexity of the flavors. The smaller scale allows for meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a superior product with rich, distinctive flavors.
Our single sourced coffee beans are delivered promptly after harvesting, preserving their optimal flavor and aroma. Unlike larger-scale operations that rely on multiple sources or long supply chains, we offer a product that's as fresh as it gets, and we personally enjoy the same coffee every day. This direct connection to the farm allows us to pass along the best possible coffee to our customers, ensuring they receive an exceptional product that stands above the rest in taste, quality, and authenticity.
By choosing our coffee, you are not only enjoying a premium product but also supporting a sustainable, direct relationship with the farm, ensuring that every cup you drink is as fresh and flavorful as possible.
