By Lauryn . Breden


To actually see the best of gourmet coffees in the world, you have to know the history behind it. There are a selection of myths and legends regarding the discovery of coffee and its spread throughout the whole world, a lot more are believable than the others. It isn't possible to know the exact dates, but the first supposed breakthrough discovery and use of coffee beans by humans had been in 800 AD.
Based on a story, an Ethiopian goat herder, Kaldi, witnessed his herd excitedly going from one bush to the other. He tried to view closer and found out that they were actually stripping cherry-red beans from the bushes as fast as they could. As his curiosity began, Kaldi tried eating a few of the beans himself. Right away he was feeling that energy was rushing through his system and he started dancing with his herd.

In 1000 AD, Arabia had initiated brewing and roasting coffee and many Muslims were drinking coffee by 1200 AD. Following that on, coffee had continually spreading all throughout the world. It started spreading in European countries and eventually to more South American countries. As it is becoming more popular, the cost dropped and it started to become viable for the masses rather than just the well-off. The biggest maker in the world is Brazil. Their coffee can be high quality, but is generally not considered the best.

Colombian coffee is generally regarded as the standard through which the best is ranked but isn't regarded as the best region.

Due to unique micro climates and growing techniques, the best coffee comes from the country of Panama, more particularly in Boquete area around Volcan Baru.

In 2003, Panama estate coffees ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 9th and 10th in the international cupping contest which in fact had over 100 entrants from around the world. This changed the contest forever, but also in 2005, Panama estate Hacienda La Esmeralda introduced its geisha coffee beans around the globe and gained the following three cupping contests.
