La Leyenda

Description

This Laurina comes from Camiseta, the Suárez family's farm in El Salto, the cool high ground above Boquete on the road up to Volcán Barú. The family named this lot La Leyenda, the legend, for their father, who with their mother pioneered these farms and planted the first Laurina trees at the estate 70 years ago. The seed is still that heirloom line.

It was picked on 27 December 2025 at 1780 masl. The cherries were floated and sorted by hand, then sealed in tanks for 48 hours before drying whole. They dried 27 days in the shade on African beds, cooled by the mountain breeze, and finished with 8 hours in a static dryer at 39 °C.

Laurina, also known as Bourbon Pointu, is a natural mutation of Bourbon with small pointed beans and naturally low caffeine.

We taste mandarin and grape, panela sweetness, and a green tea finish.
