Legendary History of Elida Estate in Manor Erida, Panama

The microclimate in the Poquet Heights of Panama is a unique and important resource for boutique coffee in the Pokuit region.

This is the environment of Panama from east to west that allows cold air to converge over 6500 feet through the Central Mountains.

As a result, a variety of microclimates have been created in the Pokuit region, making its temperature and rainfall very suitable for plant growth.

So the coffee trees planted here are growing very well.

Elida Manor in Panama is located in Pokuit, a famous boutique coffee producing area in Panama.

Elida Manor has a total area of 65 hectares, more than half of which are located within Baru Volcano National Park.

Only 30 hectares of the estate is used for planting coffee trees, and the rest are primeval forests.

Coffee is grown from 1670 meters to 1850 meters above sea level. It is one of two coffee farms with high elevations in Panama.

Another estate with these elevations is located at Carmen Manor in the Vulcan Valley. )

History of Alida Manor

Alida Manor is the most famous manor of the Lamastus family, founded in 1918.

Since Robert Lamastus, founder of the Lamastus family coffee farm, planted the first coffee tree.

It has gone through a century and witnessed the popularity of boutique coffee in the world.

Alida Manor is the most famous manor of the Lamastus family, founded in 1918.

Since Robert Lamastus, founder of the Lamastus family coffee farm, planted the first coffee tree.

It has gone through a century and witnessed the popularity of boutique coffee in the world.

Until now, Alida Manor is still inherited by the descendants of the Lamastus family.

These include Mr. Wilford, the owner of the estate, and Wilford Jr, the son of Wilford's father Thatcher,Wilford / fourth-generation successor.

As a traditional coffee family, coffee has been integrated into their family genes.

Wilford was born on a small coffee farm, and his parents were also born on a coffee farm.

Now the coffee produced by the manor comes from Arida Manor, Donkey Manor and Louito Manor.

In addition to the unique ultra-high altitude and microclimate, Mr. Wilford, the landowner, has also made considerable efforts in harvesting and handling.

In order to meet the highest standards, Elida Manor coffee is only allowed to pick the most ripe coffee fruit (Ripe on Pinton) by hand, which has high maturity and high sugar content of pectin, which is also the basis for producing high-quality flavor of Elida.

Mr. Wilford, the landowner, in addition to being extremely strict with coffee cultivation,

The "purification" of raw beans after treatment is also more stringent than those in the same industry, in the case of Panama Elida.

After the processing of raw beans, it is necessary to remove the green after more than 5 months of low temperature Resting, so that the flavor of coffee can be more balanced and full development.

(low temperature Resting is a concept of raw bean purification promoted by coffee master George Howell in 2006. We found that raw beans in subtropics need to be kept at low temperature, but different treatments and elevations will change the time of low temperature Resting. Panama Elida is the best for 5 months of low temperature Resting.)
