Farmlevel Story

Wilford Junior, Thatcher, & Wilford Senior from Elida Estate

Wilford Junior, Thatcher, & Wilford Senior

The Lamastus Family has been long known for growing and producing some of the most amazing Catuais out there. They have been producing for four generations, beginning with the foundation of Elida Estate by Robert Lamastus in 1918. 

Coffees from Elida Estate have raised the bar for specialty coffee across the world. Year after year coffee at Elida is prepared with impeccable knowledge and skill of quality grading. With the estate located at the foot of the eastern slopes of Volcan Baru, the land has a unique microclimate and a rich volcanic soil. 

This microclimate’s weather conditions during the harvest season are known as ‘El Bajareque,’ a combination of dense fog, and low temperatures. This weather increases the maturation of cherries present on trees, allowing more time for the production of sugar to occur, giving you sweet and rich flavors.

Producer

Coffee producers have their own methods that can make coffee special. We will always highlight our producers, cooperatives, and washing stations to provide farmlevel traceability.

Cultivar

Each cultivar has its own flavor profile. Not only is the taste different, but the actual coffee plant is different. Even the shape of the bean will vary between cultivars.

Processing Method

Coffee processing is crucial to the taste in the cup. Processing is done by the producer during the drying process. Most of our coffees are washed, but we always call out natural, honey, and experimental processes.

Elevation

Most of our coffees come from high elevation farms. Different cultivars thrive under different environmental factors. The elevation is a huge part of how well certain coffees will grow.
