Producer Story:
La Esplendorosa Estate holds a special place in the heart of Lerida Coffee Estate. Is in Jaramillo micro-region, Boquete. It enjoys a direct view of the magnificent Baru Volcano. This is where the dream and reality of Lerida Coffee Estate all started and where it has grown from. You can see Lerida across the Boquete Valley. Thus impacting the scenery and playing an important role in the breathtaking energy that all Boquete micro-regions have to offer.
Is a 100% Panama Geisha estate. This is where Maria Antonella's
home is located. It's surrounded by 8 hectares of delightful geisha
coffee trees. She enjoys every bit of it.
The history of Lerida started with love for family, a paradise and
coffee. Nowadays it continues with love in the same terms. Love
that gave fruits through Julia and Tollef Monniche in Boquete in
their period and continues today through the hearts and hands of
Maria Antonella Amoruso, Juan Carlos Areces and their family.
Nevertheless, throughout its existence it has played a capital
role in the history of Panama, being the first farm to export
coffee to Germany in 1929. Thus, leading the way for a premature
specialty coffee industry for this blessed, humble and small
country. Yes... those first coffee beans were very special in the
cup (check out the link for more information). Today is no less
with the Panama Geisha varietal that we cherish too.
What started back then as a family coffee consumption for the
Monniches soon. turned to a family business. Today is no different
for Maria and Juan Carlos.
They love the panamanian specialty coffee industry and what has
turned out to be with the added main role of the Panama Geisha.
They now follow the lead that it plays for the whole Panama coffee
industry. As maturing specialty coffee producers, they are being
impacted not only by their family and the industry but also by all
the families that together gravitate surrounded by the same
beautiful forests, birds and exotic coffee history that enriches
Lerida's beautiful cup.
