The region that grows La Palma Select is located in the extreme western part of Panama, near the Costa Rican border, at an altitude of 4,500 ft. This altitude and volcanic soil are well suited for growing the best Arabica beans. The relatively level terrain allows the coffee cherry to ripen evenly, resulting in more consistent bean quality and density. The high altitude corresponds with a longer growing season, which allows the development of the complex flavors, medium-bold intensity, and incredible clarity and brightness.
