About Elida Estate

Elida Estate is located in the Boquete region of Panama and is one of the highest altitude coffee estates in the country. Situated on the eastern side of Baru Volcano, it has consistently won Best of Panama awards in recent years. In 2018, it achieved dual championships in both the natural and washed categories, with the washed category receiving the highest score in history at 94.66! The total number of BOP awards is second only to the internationally renowned Esmeralda Estate.

Coffee cultivation began here in 1918. In addition to coffee, many native tree species are planted, providing shade for the coffee plants and protecting the ecosystem. The family uses manual fertilization for all coffee trees and refuses to use environmentally harmful herbicides and pesticides. Due to the high altitude, year-round low temperatures delay the maturation of coffee berries. Furthermore, the volcanic soil near the volcano provides rich nutrients for coffee cultivation, enabling this estate's coffee beans to consistently achieve outstanding results in competitions.

About Catuai Variety

The Arabica coffee variety Catuai is a hybrid of Caturra and Mundo Novo. Caturra plants are short while Mundo Novo plants are tall, and the hybrid improves the height for easier harvesting. The flavor is sweet, with sweetness performance similar to Caturra, less acidity and astringency, improving the drawbacks of poor taste and flavor, with excellent balance.
