This is our first time purchasing from the Lamastus Family Estates, and we are happy to collaborate with them now on both Limited & April launches.
The farm spreads on a total of 65ha, with half being coffee trees and the other half a forest reserve. They grow Geisha (10%), Catuai (80%) & Typica (10%), one lot is 40 years of age, and the others are 5 years old, all located at a growing altitude between 1670 & 1950m.
The trees are all shade grown surrounded by a private virgin forest reserve and a National Park. The farm is host to many exotic native species of plants, birds and mammals including the Quetzal (bird) and the jaguar, biological rich and diverse cloud forest.
About the coffee
Grown at 1,700 masl at temperatures between 14 to 20 degrees, and the trees are around 80 years old, the coffee was harvested in January 2023 and is sun-dried in the Caldera farm (drying station) at 400masl with temperatures between 25 to 30 degrees, with a 20-day drying period.
