Lamastus Private Auction Vuelta #08
Tasting notes
Panama Geisha – Elida Estate Vuelta Plot
Nestled within the mist-covered cloud forests surrounding Volcán Barú National Park in Boquete, Panama, the renowned Vuelta plot sits at elevations ranging from 1,900 to 1,960 meters above sea level. This extraordinary terroir is defined by cool temperatures, frequent mountain mists, and dramatic day-to-night temperature shifts—conditions that slow the maturation of coffee cherries and allow for the development of exceptional complexity.
Rich volcanic soils combined with the surrounding native forest biodiversity create an environment where the Geisha variety thrives. The extended ripening cycle encourages the accumulation of complex sugars and volatile aromatic compounds, resulting in a cup profile marked by remarkable sweetness, floral intensity, and pristine clarity—an authentic expression of Panama’s most celebrated coffee-growing landscape.
For this exclusive Lamastus Family Private Auction lot, only the ripest cherries are selectively hand-picked and meticulously sorted. The coffee undergoes a carefully controlled natural processing method, where whole cherries are dried intact on raised African beds.
During drying, cherries are spread in thin layers and turned regularly to ensure even moisture reduction and prevent undesirable fermentation. This slow, closely monitored process extends over several weeks, allowing the fruit’s sugars and organic compounds to gradually integrate with the seed.
The result is a coffee that showcases layered sweetness, vibrant fruit character, and a luxurious texture—all while preserving the delicate floral elegance that defines Geisha. This lot beautifully balances the expressive intensity of natural processing with the refined clarity of Elida Estate’s high-altitude terroir.
A rare and exceptional offering that captures the true essence of Panama’s finest coffee.
