Panama Lamastus Loma Arriba Natural Green Tip Gesha Farmlevel Reserve

Elida Estate is the first and longest Farmlevel relationship Verve established. Year after year, this Green Tip Gesha continuously astonishes everyone who takes a sip. The Lamastus family was already known for producing exceptional Catuai coffee when they endeavored to plant Gesha seeds on their estate. Entering their first harvest after 4½ years of maturation, Thatcher Lamastus and his son, Wilford, observed a unique feature among his Gesha trees: the youngest leaves on the end of each branch exhibited either bronze or green tips.
Wilford Lamastus and Verve co-founder Colby Barr sampled the two plants’ separated seeds and concluded that the green-tipped trees produced a superior cup to their bronze-tipped counterpart. Henceforth, Elida Estate was the first known farm to isolate and cultivate Green Tip Gesha.
