What the Brand Says
Elida Estate Catuai Origin: Boquete, Chiriquí, Panama Producer: Lamastus Family Estates Farm: Elida Estate Process: Natural Anaerobic Slow Dry (ASD) Varietal: Catuai Altitude: 1,600–1,700 masl Tasting Notes: berries, red fruits, cherry, raspberry This coffee is a snapshot of place, grown on Elida Estate, nestled within the misty highlands of the Volcán Barú National Park, one of the most biodiverse and ecologically protected regions in Central America. At elevations reaching up to 2,100 masl, and surrounded by virgin cloud forest, Elida's terroir is defined by cool night temperatures, volcanic soil, and rich microbial life, all of which contribute to a cup of deep character and complexity. This lot is a Catuai varietal processed using the Natural Anaerobic Slow Dry (ASD) method. The cherries undergo a controlled anaerobic fermentation in sealed environments, then are slowly dried — often in bags — to intensify sweetness and structure while maintaining clarity. We’ve roasted it ultra-light to let the nuances shine. Expect rich notes of berries and red fruits, with vibrant cherry and raspberry wrapped in a round, structured body.Elida Estate Catuai Origin: Boquete, Chiriquí, Panama Producer: Lamastus Family Estates Farm: Elida Estate Process: Natural Anaerobic Slow Dry (ASD) Varietal: Catuai Altitude: 1,600–1,700 masl Tasting Notes: berries, red fruits, cherry, raspberry This coffee is a snapshot of place, grown on Elida Estate, nestled within the misty highlands of the Volcán Barú National Park, one of the most biodiverse and ecologically protected regions in Central America.
