Hydrangea Coffee

Gesha - Natural DRD - Elida Estate, Lot Vuelta

Lot Vuelta hails from Elida Estate in Chiriquí's cloud-forest highlands (1,780–1,820 masl), where the Lamastus family has cultivated coffee across four generations since 1918. The natural process with dark room drying—cherries dried whole for 30 days away from sunlight—preserves the delicate floral and fruit character the Geisha variety is prized for. The cup unfolds with red magnolia florals, yellow nectarine sweetness, and Concord grape depth, layering complexity without heaviness. This lot was preselected for Best of Panama 2026; its sister lot placed third in the Natural Gesha category, underscoring the estate's precision and terroir expression.
