Long, flavor-saturated finish.” Origin — Elida Estate, Boquete, Panama Perched between 1920 – 1960 m in the Barú Volcano National Park, Elida Estate is among the highest farms in Panama and one of the most biodiverse coffee habitats on Earth. For over a century, the Lamastus Family has cultivated Arabica here under pristine conditions: rich volcanic soils, cool mists, and shaded forest canopy.The Vuelta lot, Elida’s highest fully productive block, yields cherries of extraordinary density and aromatic potential — a terroir that defines modern Panamanian Geisha. Craft & Process — Dark Room Dried Natural This micro-lot undergoes a three-day anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks, then dries in a light-free, climate-controlled room (DRD).By eliminating UV exposure and stabilizing humidity and temperature, the process preserves fragile aromatic compounds — yielding a cup that is vibrant, perfumed, and remarkably pure. Legacy & Lineage The Lamastus Family began coffee cultivation here in 1918 under Kentucky-born pioneer Robert Lamastus, whose descendants have elevated Elida Estate into one of the most decorated farms in the world.Generations later, their pursuit of precision and ecological harmony continues to produce coffees that set global benchmarks for Geisha expression.
