Panama is home to so much good, flavorful, locally grown coffee and Starbucks has promised to highlight that. David Batres, managing director of Starbucks for Central America, explained that the Panamanian stores will feature a special local reserve coffee from the Carmen Estate in Volcán, Chiriquí.
