Elida Manor is located in the Poquet producing area of the western border province of Panama-Chery. The most famous landmark and tourist attraction of the province is the Baru volcano at an altitude of 3300 meters. Baru volcano is one of the highest volcanoes in Central America, with a total area of about 14000 hectares. It can be divided into 7 different microclimate zones according to altitude. There are many rare plants, birds and mammals inhabiting in the volcanic range. The Poquet producing area is located on the east side of Baru volcano. It is a valley area where volcanic lava flows, adjacent to the Volcan Valley, another famous coffee producing area in Panama.

Boquet is Panama's most popular coffee producer, with many famous estates-such as the Emerald Estate, famous for its Geisha variety.(Esmeralda), Best of Panama Hartman, Mamakata (Mama Cata), Kotowa Estate, Santa Teresa Estate, etc., and Elida Estate itself is also a heavyweight star estate in the Boquet region-winning the Best of Panama award for the past five years in a row, second only to Emerald Estate. Elida Estate has a total area of 65 hectares, more than half of which are located within the Baru Volcano National Park, 30 hectares of which are planted with coffee trees and the remaining 35 hectares are virgin forests. Coffee is grown at altitudes ranging from 1670 to 1850 meters, making it one of Panama's two highest coffee estates (the other one at this altitude would be Carmen Estate in the Vulcan Valley). At this altitude, the low temperature delays the ripening of coffee berries by about a month, while the fertile volcanic loam provides sufficient nutrients for coffee, and the excellent microclimate brought by Baru volcano enables Elida Manor to repeatedly win cup tests. In addition to creating good conditions for coffee cultivation, the Lamastus family, which runs Elida Estate, has planted many different native tree species on the estate, not only to shade the coffee trees, but also to provide a friendly habitat for birds. In terms of fertilization, Lamastus family uses artificial fertilization and small amounts of chemical fertilizers, but never pesticides and herbicides harmful to the environment. In addition to Catuai, Typica and Bourbon, the Lamastus family also began planting Geisha varieties a few years ago. Despite this, Elida Estate's batches participating in the Best of Panama competition all use Catuai species, but they can still achieve good results repeatedly, which shows that their geographical environment and excellent post-harvest processing technology bring excellent quality and special flavor to coffee.

La Esmeralda Panama is located in the corner of Baru volcano, so the coffee beans produced in this area are mostly named after Baru Mountain. The surrounding area of Boquete is beautiful, with many leisure hotels, villas, holiday estates, and even along the important river Rio Caldera. La Esmeralda is located on the right side of the river Jaramillo, and then on the left side of the river Ca? As Verdes grows coffee at higher elevations, thanks to Rudolph Peterson's decision to buy the property.

La Esmeralda has won 12 coffee competitions so far, and has set a record three times in online public bidding: 21 US dollars in 2004, 50.25 US dollars in 2006, and 130 US dollars in 2007! Of course, other countries have also bid a pound of good coffee close to 50 dollars (Brazil CoE champion Fazenda Santa Inês in 2005), El Injerto in 2008 Guatemala CoE champion 80.20 dollars; but you pay attention to the time point, that is, La Esmeralda bid record, before no bid price surpassed her, then, but she will surpass others, saying she is the record maker, no fluke!
