The Lamastus Family has being producing coffee in Elida Estate for four generations since 1918. At the turn of the century, Kentucky born Robert Lamastus started an Arabica coffee plantation in a farm located at around 5,600 ft (1 700 m) above sea level in the outskirts of the Baru Volcano in Boquete, Panama. El Burro Estate, one of the southernmost coffee farms in Panama, partially lies within the Baru Volcano National Park (BVNP). Coffee here grows from 1,550 masl up to 1,800 masl, with a mean elevation of 1,675 masl. The farm features young volcanic soils, pristine forest, unique micro-climate, and different temperatures, winds, and precipitation compared to other farms in the region. This coffee is produced under unique world conditions due to its high elevation, rich young volcanic soils, low temperatures, dry seasons, heavy precipitation during wet seasons (3200mm/125 inches on average), and surrounding virgin native cloud forest. The cold nights extend the ripening time by one month, enhancing bean development. These unique growing conditions result in a distinguished cup.
