Volcan Baru National Park, Panama

Description

Whole beans from the farm Elida Estate from Lamastus family Estate, in Panama. It is a geisha washed from the plot called Falda.

A few hours after roasting, we notice :

When hot : it tastes floral, vegetal like jasmine, violette. Are we buying all the coffees we taste that have jasmine and violette. I start to think we do. Ha ha !

When warm : the cup is very clean with jasmine. Hints of peach and apricot.

When cold : the jasmine remains.

We got to visit three of Lamastus farms during our trip to Panama in February 2024 and January 2026. Elida Estate is a beautiful farm, it is not small but they are very rigorous about their lots, the processing, the drying. You can visit every part it is clean, the lots well tracked. Wilford and his so-called dream team is tremendously serious in order to produce the best coffee their terroir has to offer. They cup altogether with the passing guest roasters, rating every single lot they have. In the farms, local varieties of fruit trees grow, providing tree tomato, lulos. The families working at the farms can also benefit from biogas systems turning the farm waste into gas, providing them energy to run their homes. We have a lot of respect for Wilford’s work because he is passionate and generous. He lives for coffee and for sharing this passion. Thank you for being part of this world Wilford !
