Panama
Coffee picker at Finca Elida, Boquete, Panama. Wilford Lamastus, owner of Finca Elida, is a third-generation coffee producer and is one of the most highly regarded coffee farms in Panama, placing 3rd at Best of Panama's 2007 non-geisha competition.
More than just geisha... though of course, geisha
Panama has so much excellent coffee they require three categories of competition at the annual Best of Panama competition: washed geisha, natural geisha and washed non-geisha. Robert, CCS' co-founder, has been purchasing geisha (from La Hacienda Esmeralda, no less) since before geisha became "the coffee." While Panama geisha will always hold a special place on our menu, these days we are looking to explore and showcase more of the incredible diversity that this origin has to offer.
