As the third wave of coffee has become more mainstream, Panama has quietly staked its claim as a force to be reckoned with thanks to growing the renowned Geisha coffee bean, which can sell for over $1,000 per pound.
In May 2019, Lamastus Family Estates crushed the record for highest score in the prestigious Best of Panama (BoP) coffee competition created by the Specialty Coffee Association of Panama. Of a total of 174 coffees submitted to the competition, 78 of which were selected to be evaluated by a panel of international judges, the family’s Elida Geisha Green Tip Natural scored 95.25 out of 100 points.
