Panama Lerida Estate

Located in the Highlands of Boquete, at an altitude of 5,500 feet on the foothills of the Baru Volcano with its deep rich volcanic soil, this beautiful and traditional coffee estate offers optimum conditions for growing premium mountain coffee. The ample rainfall and sunny, dry harvesting season promotes ideal production of this Arabica coffee.

Coffees coming out of Panama from the higher elevations, such as Lerida Estate, continue to be what we think is the best bang for the buck. Read more about Finca Lerida here.

Cupping notes:: medium intense dry aroma, intense on the break (breaking the crust). Vibrant, very clean cup, coffee blossom, apricot, extra virgin malt. Long, sweet aftertaste with honey sweetness emerging as the cup cools.

Roasting Notes: This coffee excels when the roast is stopped before 2nd crack to bring out unique citrusy qualities and pine nuts. As the roast progresses just into 2nd crack (for those that prefer darker roasts), maltiness flavors become apparent with full body development at Full City.
