パナマ

With the cooperation of SCAA, SCAP successfully hosted the first BOP in 1996.
SCAA provided support in the following areas:
1. Official cupping form (evaluation of 10 criteria, including aroma, acidity, sweetness, clean cup, and balance)
=> *SCAA Score: Specialty Coffee Evaluation Criteria by SCAA 

2. Blind cupping method (compromising farm and lot names to ensure fairness)
3. Judging protocol (re-cupping at each temperature level and standardized scoring)
Training of local cuppers

Panama is a producer of coffee beans known today as Geisha, a premium specialty coffee.
Coffee production in this country also had deep ties to the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA).
In 1989, the ICO price agreement collapsed, causing coffee prices to fall in producing countries.
For example, in Panama, the price was US$1.20 per pound (approximately 450g), but after the price collapse, it is said to have fallen to US$0.74.
