Why does Elida Estate geisha Panama coffee draw attention?
Elida Estate sits near the Baru Volcano in Boquete, Panama, founded in 1918 by Robert Lamastus and named after his wife. A century later the Lamastus family still runs it, now in its fourth generation, with Trompo Estate added as the family's fifth property. The natural geisha roasted from Elida cups with pomegranate, peach, white florals, grape, and black tea.
After roasting, the lot rested eight hours before cupping, where it showed a strong white floral aroma, very high sweetness, rounded grape acidity, a smooth mouthfeel, and a clear tea-like finish. As the cup cooled, the peach sweetness moved toward apricot and the juicy quality grew fuller. That combination is what keeps geisha Panama coffee at the center of estate-level buying.

In 1918, American Robert Lamastus established Elida Estate in the Boquete region of Panama, around the Barú Volcano. Whenever people talk about this estate, they always mention the origin of its name—Mr. Robert named the estate after his wife.
From the day the estate was founded, Mr. Robert focused on the cultivation and production of high-quality coffee. His passion for coffee seemed to run in his blood, passed down through the generations. Today, Elida Estate is managed by the fourth generation of the Lamastus family, with each generation interpreting their dedication to and appreciation of coffee in their own distinct way. In recent years, the Lamastus family has acquired a new high-altitude estate—Trompo Estate—which is also the fifth estate under the family's name.

In addition, a rounded grape acidity could be felt, with a smooth mouthfeel and a clear tea-like finish. As the temperature gradually dropped, the sweetness of peach shifted toward apricot, and the juicy quality became increasingly full, making it very pleasant.
