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, 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 Amoruso Family. 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.

Coffee Story:	This coffee comes from Lérida Estate, located in the Alto Quiel region of Boquete at an elevation of 1,900 MASL. The cherries were harvested at their optimal point of ripeness. Once received, the cherries went through a flotation process to select the best ones. Then, a meticulous hand selection was done to ensure greater consistency. The coffee was then dried on African beds under direct sunlight for 18 days, being constantly moved for a more even drying. This coffee is striking from the aroma, where jasmine, violets, and intense fruit notes are easily perceived. From the first sip, its level of sweetness and harmony is impressive, accompanied by champagne, strawberries, cherries, mango, and lemon soda. It has a pleasant, silky, and round body that fills the entire palate. In the aftertaste, tropical fruits like pineapple and mango come through again, with a juicy citrus acidity reminiscent of orange and a hint of kiwi. In conclusion, this is a very clean, fruity, juicy, exotic coffee with a white wine like note that adds a special touch.
