Panama Elida Estate Vuelta

Panama Elida Estate Vuelta

55 EUR

Whole beans from the farm Elida Estate from Lamastus family Estate, in Panama. It is a geisha natural process from the plot called Vuelta. This plot of Elida Estate is very famous for producing regularly lots ranked at Best of Panama. When hot, it tastes very juicy, hints of tropical fruits. Do you know the Arlequin candy ? This is it but in a very more subtle way. The body is heavy and velvety. As it cools down a bit, it is a powdery coffee with flavors of violette, citrus, a bit of rose and also praliné. It is a quite fermented coffee, reaching Joachim’s limit (which is basically zero haha). Country : Panama Region : Alto Quiel Farm : Elida Estate Lot : Vuelta Altitude : 1925-1960m Soil : volcanic Variety : Geisha Process : natural anaerobic slow dry (fermented in bags for 2 days). Harvest date : 05/03/2025 Dry until : 28/03/2025 Dried : on coffee beds Import : direct trade with Lasmastus Family Estate We got to visit three of Lamastus farms during our trip to Panama in February 2024. 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 !
