Panama Boquete Elida Estate
Panama Boquete Elida Estate
Farm Description
Elida Estate has been in the Lamastus family since its inception in 1918. Named for the wife of Robert Louis Lamastus, the farm is in the Alto Quiel region of Boquete, with a range of altitudes from 1670 to 1825 meters. It is mostly planted in Caturra, but there is a small amount of Bourbon varietal. More than half of this farm is located within the Volcan Baru National Park, a protected ecological reserve and sanctuary for exotic plants, birds and mammals. Elida has been a top finisher in the Best of Panama for years, and their wet process coffees are the epitome of the refined Boquete flavor profile.
This coffee is part of our Farm Gate pricing program.Cupping Notes
There's a rich floral vanilla that pairs well with the caramelized peach notes that are abundant. It's a bright coffee, but the malic acidity is not aggressive. The body is light and has a juicy mouthfeel which suits the cup flavors quite well. The dry fragrance is very sweet, with floral aromas and cherry fruited notes. Adding water, the wet aromatics also have this cherry fruit scent (more like cherry pie), floral aspects, and cooked peach notes as well. The cup is juicy, delicate and yet quite layered in flavors as well. The fruit, as in the aroma, oscillates between stone fruit and cherry-like flavor, with a clean, sweet backdrop of honey. In the cool cup, it's all peach and cherry pie with freshly made vanilla bean ice cream.
