Kairu's Panama Slackcountry - Light Roast (Limited Offering)

From the legendary Elida Estate in Alto Quiel, Boquete, under the Lamastus Family Estates seal, comes a Geisha unlike any other. Grown at 1,700–1,800 meters on the “skirt” of the mountain, this coffee represents the pinnacle of terroir, processing, and varietal expression.

Process:
Hand-harvested on March 30, 2025, the cherries underwent two days of anaerobic fermentation, followed by natural dehydration on Ethiopian-style raised drying beds. This slow-dry process, completed under the Panamanian sun, preserves vibrant fruit character while layering in depth and complexity. Resting began on April 12, 2025, allowing the coffee to stabilize and fully express its flavors.

Cup Profile:
Expect a radiant, fruit-forward cup with lemon brightness, the wild tartness of huckleberry, lush blackberry sweetness, and a juicy, lingering finish. The light roast highlights clarity and nuance, celebrating the elegance for which Panamanian Geisha is revered.

Why it’s special:

• Directly from Elida Estate, a farm synonymous with award-winning Panamanian Geisha.

• Natural anaerobic slow-dry fermentation for elevated fruit intensity.

• Produced in limited quantity from a singular lot on the mountain’s “skirt.”

This is more than coffee—it’s a testament to patience, altitude, and craft.
