FrontStreet Coffee - Panama Elida Geisha Introduction

Panama's Elida Estate is situated in the world-renowned specialty coffee region of Boquete. The Boquete region has high altitude, and in such high-altitude environments, low temperatures cause a delay in the maturation period of coffee berries - about a month later than normal maturation. Additionally, fertile volcanic soil provides ample nutrients for the coffee, and the unique microclimate brought by Baru Volcano allows Elida Estate to consistently achieve excellent results in various cupping competitions.

Elida Estate is also a historic coffee estate founded in 1918. I have tasted Elida Estate's Geisha many times before. Although the quality levels vary, what impresses me most about this estate is its particularly rich acidity and aroma, with very strong fruity complexity flavors. Especially Elida's natural-processed beans are extremely famous. Green Top Coffee belongs to the highest grade of green beans among Geisha beans. The flavor description shows excellent layered presentation with perfect balance. Complex floral notes (citrus blossom, ginger flower, aromatic orchid), bright acidity, fresh fruit tones (pear, peach, orange), sweet cocoa, sandalwood, and subtle candy. The structure is juicy and bright, with an enticing umami aroma. Light silky mouthfeel with vibrant flavor saturation.

Elida Estate mainly cultivates three varieties: Catuai, Typica, and Geisha. Due to its high altitude location, year-round low temperatures delay the maturation of coffee berries. However, being near a volcano, the volcanic soil provides rich nutrients for coffee cultivation, enabling this estate's coffee beans to consistently win awards in competitions.

Besides being extremely strict with coffee cultivation and processing, estate owner Mr. Wilford is also more rigorous than peers in the "purification" process after green bean processing. For Panama Elida, after green bean processing is completed, it requires more than 5 months of low-temperature resting to remove greenness, which allows the coffee's flavor to develop more balanced and full-bodied.
