Founded in 1918, Lamastus Family Estates includes Elida Estate, a farm shaped by cool cloud-forest conditions and distinctive microclimates along the edge of Volcán Barú National Park. Coffee here ripens slowly in the mist, building density and layered flavor as it matures.

For this lot, ripe cherries are picked at peak sweetness and processed using Wilford Lamastus’s Anaerobic Slow Dry method. The whole cherries ferment in a sealed tank for five days, then move to raised beds for an extended, low-and-slow dry of roughly 45 to 60 days. That longer drying time helps deepen complexity and clarity, often showing dark fruit character with a sparkling, lively acidity.

Lamastus Family Estates is led by Wilford Lamastus Sr., his wife Velia, and their son Wilford Lamastus Jr.. The family’s coffees have earned multiple top honors at Best of Panama, including first place in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2024

Alexander ★★★★★

This is my third bag of this coffee, and the fermentation process really makes the fruit notes pop — it almost tastes like a berry compote in the cup. The beans are consistently dense and well-sorted, and I’ve found it brews beautifully with a V60 at a medium-fine grind.

Adam F. ★★★★★

Picked up a bag after reading about the ASD process, and the ferment really shines through—it's sweet and almost wine-like without being overpowering. The beans are beautifully dense and uniform, which made dialing in my grind effortless for a clean, bright cup.

Isabella ★★★★★

Brewed a cup this morning and the sweetness hit me right away — it’s like honey and dried apricot without any bitterness. The beans were incredibly dense and uniform, which made grinding feel satisfying and precise. Definitely my new favorite for a quiet morning pour-over.

Penelope W. ★★★★★

I’ve never tasted a coffee this clean and complex before—that natural ASD process really brings out a deep, fruity sweetness without any funky aftertaste. The beans are so dense and evenly roasted, it took me a couple tries to dial in the grind, but once I did, every cup was pure joy.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The first sip hit me with a bright, wine-like acidity and a smooth, creamy body that lingered perfectly. It’s easily the most complex coffee I’ve brewed this year—the natural fermentation really brings out those berry notes.

Madison A. ★★★★★

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a coffee processed with the ASD method, but after brewing a cup, I’m blown away by the silky body and the subtle floral notes. The beans are incredibly dense, and the grind felt almost like velvet compared to other specialty coffees I’ve tried.
