SCAP is the Specialty Coffee Association of Panama.
In
1996, during the crisis of low international prices of coffee and the
beginning of Special Coffees category and a high global demand, a group of 7 coffee producers
from the areas of Boquete and Volcan –Candela got together to form the SCAP to promote Panama's excellent coffee.
There are now over 30 product members that
export its varieties of Special Coffees around the world and that are
winners of prizes and recognition in different international taste
competitions.
The SCAP is a commitment to quality with annual "Best of Panama" cupping competitions. The high altitude rich volcanic soil produces specialty coffee that has received international
recognition, as well as receiving "Coffee of the Year" and top distinction in taste competitions around the world.
The SCAP and its members, have a commitment with the
environment, to maintain the water sources and rivers, to live together
with the migrating fauna in the area and to work in a manner that will
allow the best maintenance for the ecosystem.
