Experience Details

Think of your guide as a local friend who wants to share with you a special coffee tasting and a traditional tea ceremony in the vibrant and multicultural heart of the city, El Cangrejo.


You will learn about Panama's world renowned coffee and sample three distinct varieties of locally sourced coffee beans, an espresso and a cold brew paired with a classic Panamanian corn fritter snack.


We will then explore the winding streets of El Cangrejo and experience the neighborhood's rich culture & hidden gems, soaking up the lively atmosphere that defines this bohemian enclave.


We'll finish with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, where you'll try two exquisite teas and three unique snacks.

These pairings will awaken your taste buds and provide a glimpse into the diverse flavors of Panamá by shining a light on the historical influence of the Asian diaspora on our culture.


Your guide is a local who will be capturing your experience with a professional camera so you can immerse fully.
