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 first 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 Volcán Barú 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 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 planted in 2005, and was processed using the traditional washed method to highlight the natural characteristics of the exceptional Geisha variety as well as the beautiful terroir of Elida Estate.
