About: At this point, the Lamastus family legacy has become legendary. They have been growing coffee in the Boquete region of Panama for over 100 years and have won the Best of Panama competition multiple times with their Geisha – most recently, placing 1st in the Natural Geisha category, in the 2024 competition, with a Geisha from Elida Estate.
Wilford Lamastus and his son, Wilford Jr., manage the family's three farms high up in the cloudy rainforest of the Boquete region, on the edge of the Volcan Baru National Park. Elida Estate was their first farm to be planted with Geisha back in 2005, and they have been producing some of the best Geisha in the world ever since. In 2018 and 2019, Geisha from Elida won both the washed and the natural categories in the Best of Panama competition, something never seen before!
This Geisha was grown in the Torre section of Elida (the first section to be planted, back in 2005) and was processed using an innovative new processing technique, utilizing both Wilford’s custom-built reactive fermenters and a brand-new temperature-controlled dark room to precisely dry the coffee.
