Elida Estate Geisha Coffee Beans

Elida Estate is one of the three major Geisha coffee estates in Panama. Over the past five years, it has consistently won the BOP (Best of Panama) award, achieving remarkable results and ranking only second to Hacienda Esmeralda, which speaks volumes about the exceptional quality of its coffee.

Elida Estate is located on the eastern side of the Barú Volcano in the Boquete region of Chiriquí Province, on the western border of Panama. The estate’s achievements are closely tied to the region’s outstanding terroir. The Barú Volcano is one of the highest volcanoes in Central America, and due to variations in altitude, the volcanic area boasts over seven distinct microclimates. Its success also stems from the inherent strength and expertise of Elida Estate itself.

Elida Estate is owned by the Wilford Lamastus family, who have a long history in coffee cultivation, having started growing coffee as early as 1918. In addition to Elida Estate, they also manage another farm called El Burro, also situated in the picturesque Boquete region. Over half of the cultivated land in this area lies within the boundaries of the Barú Volcano National Park, helping to preserve an exceptionally pristine ecological environment.
