In what is becoming an annual tradition at the Best of Panama competition—an event where super-premium coffees are evaluated and auctioned—the world record for most expensive pound of coffee has been broken again.
The Lamastus family’s Elida Estate sold one of its lots for $1,029 per pound, breaking the world record they set last year of $803 per pound. That comes two years after the Panamanian estate Hacienda La Esmeralda sold 100 pounds of its coffee at Best of Panama for $601 per pound. What all three record-breakers had in common beyond Panama was that they were Gesha.
