Bombat Estate Coffee Beans

Bombat Estate Gesha coffee beans ranked fifth in the 2022 BOP Gesha Natural category, ultimately scoring an impressive 93 points—just 1.75 points behind the champion, Nugu Estate coffee beans, and only 0.25 points behind the second-place Guaguagu Estate. The scoring gap is extremely narrow.

In 1996, during the lowest point of international coffee prices, seven coffee farms—including Hacienda La Esmeralda, Don Pachi Estate, Carmen Estate, and Elida Estate (Elida Estate)—located in the Boquete and Volcán regions, which were among the founding estates, saw the dawn of an era of high-quality coffee. As a result, they organized and established the renowned Panamanian Association of Special Coffees of Panama (SCAP for short).

Starting in 2004, SCAP organized the first Best of Panama (BOP) competition and held its first auction. At that time, there were only 11 lots of beans, with an average price of $2.89 per pound. The now world-renowned Gesha variety also owes much of its rise to the BOP. By 2012, the average price had reached $24.83 per pound. It can be said that BOP has greatly inspired and propelled the specialty coffee movement forward over these years.
