Lamastus Family Estates

lamastus family estates is a panamanian coffee producer based in boquete, chiriqui, with family roots in coffee farming dating to 1918. the holding operates three estates in the highlands of panama: elida estate, el burro estate, and luito estate. elida estate is the flagship property and the source of the family's most decorated lots, including the first coffee in coffeereview.com's history to receive a 98-point score. across best of panama competition, the estates have accumulated four overall champion titles and seven first-place finishes, the most and second-most respectively in the competition's history. the farms specialise in geisha, offering both washed and natural processed lots that regularly appear in best of panama auctions. in addition to farming, the family operates bajareque coffee house, a wholesale roaster in panama, and sisu, a retail cafe in panama city. buyers sourcing directly from the estates typically access competition-grade and auction lots. the estates do not appear to operate as a traditional green-coffee importer or distributor, so roasters outside panama generally need to work through a licensed importer or directly contact the family to arrange export of specific lots.
