What started with a man named Robert Lamastus in 1918 has catapulted to an innumerable number of awards, prizes, and accolades under the leadership of his grandson, Wilford Lamastus, Sr., and his great-grandson, Wilford Jr. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded by Robert in 1918, Elida Estate is the flagship farm in the Lamastus fleet, and it is perhaps the most well-known of their fleet. But there are two other farms in the Panamanian highlands which bear the Lamastus family name: Luito Estate, and the origin story of today's black label release, El Burro Estate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEl Burro is located in the southernmost coffee-growing region of Panama, and part of it sits inside the Baru Volcano National Park (BVNP). This location is important for a few reasons: first, because of its protected status within BVNP, coffees being produced at El Burro come from some of the most undisturbed farmland in all of Panama. It is surrounded by native, cloudy rainforest, and the crop benefits tremendously from the fresh volcanic soil supplied by Volcano Baru. Additionally, the high altitude of the farm amidst this lush backdrop lends itself to particularly advantageous coffee-growing conditions: the climate is very dry during the dry season and very wet during the wet season, causing extended ripening times for El Burro's most beloved lots: Gesha.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUST THE PROCESS | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe unique terroir in which this coffee grows is heavily responsible for its equally unique - and utterly distinguished - flavor profile. No fancy fermentation techniques here, folks—this coffee was handpicked at peak ripeness, handsorted for quality, and spread out on raised beds to sun-dry until optimal moisture content was achieved. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ehot\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, this coffee has a pleasantly floral aroma and leaves us seeing RED—red fruits, raspberry, and red wine, for example. Subtle tropical notes, like mango, can also be perceived. The coffee is smooth and chocolatey at this temperature, leaving us feeling as though we’ve indulged in some Valentine’s Day spoils. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the coffee approaches a pleasantly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ewarm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e temperature, acidity ticks up and it becomes more jammy in nature.
