About Lerida Farm

The Lerida farm consists of five farms in the Boquete region.

Lerida Farm: The main farm, covering an area of ​​70 hectares, mainly grows Catuai and Geisha varieties, and at an altitude of over 1,900m, they also have a test farm where they grow experimental micro lots such as SL28 and Orange Bourbon.
Esplendorosa Farm...It's a small plot of 10 hectares. The high altitude makes it the most suitable plot for growing Geisha coffee, and the Geisha that is entered in the Best of Panama and other competition cups is grown in this plot.
Amelia Farm: 32 hectares in size. A relatively new farm that was developed after the Almoso family became the owner of the farm. It is mainly grown in Catuai, and the coffee harvested in this area is shipped separately from the coffee grown in other areas. In addition to Catuai, Pacamara and Typica varieties are planted.
El Salto Farm: Like Amelia Farm, this is a 32-hectare plot. Catuai and Typica are also planted here.
Flora Farm: a small plot of 6 hectares, located on the slopes of Volcan Baru volcano, with different flavour characteristics compared to other areas. It mainly grows Pacamara and Catuai grapes.

About Geisha

In the 1930s, for coffee research, some branches with cherries were collected from the virgin coffee forests in an area called Gesha in southwestern Ethiopia, and it is said that one of these was the current Geisha variety. After that, a seedling grown from this cherry was sent to the Liamungu Research Station in Tanzania, where research continued. Later, in 1953, the seedling was sent to the CATIE Center in Costa Rica, where it was given the product number "T2722". Because it was resistant to rust, seedlings began to be grown in various Central American countries. Geisha cultivation began in Panama, where the Lerida farm is located, in the 1960s, but at that time, the trees were tall, the branches were thin and easily broken, and it was difficult to grow, so farmers did not like it and it did not spread. The quality was also never evaluated as good. (This is because it was grown in lowlands that are not suitable for growing Geisha varieties.)

Geisha beans were forgotten for about 40 years, but in 2004, a turning point came. When the Peterson family of Panama entered Geisha beans in the "Best of Panama" contest and auction, they received very high praise for their incredible flavor, and at the auction they broke the previous record and were sold for over $20 per pound. Geisha beans continued to be sold at very high prices at auctions, and this news spread around the world.
