From the producer

Black & White identifies La Victoria Estate as the producer and says the whole cherries are transported to neighboring Elida Estate for processing by the Lamastus family. The exact release does not name an individual producer or explicitly establish ownership of La Victoria Estate.

From the roaster

Black & White describes the cup as floral and citrusy like bergamot, tea-like, and filled with peach and plum stone-fruit character.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A classic natural Gesha grown at La Victoria Estate and processed at neighboring Elida Estate, with explicit 1,700 m elevation and concrete-patio drying.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Estate identity

Black & White identifies La Victoria Estate in Boquete as the producer. The exact release does not name an individual producer or explicitly establish who owns La Victoria.

02
Harvest and sort

Peak-ripe Gesha cherries were handpicked and sorted for quality at La Victoria Estate.

03
Process at Elida

Whole cherries were transported to neighboring Elida Estate, where the Lamastus family spread them on concrete patios and monitored drying until optimal moisture.

04
Offer verified

Current roaster and exact-product catalog evidence supports an available 100 g option at $18.25; a 340 g option has also been cataloged, but this record stores the base offer.

What was added?

No added flavoring, inoculation or external fermentation input is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No individual producer, harvest date, separate fermentation protocol, drying duration, formal grade or owner tasting observation was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile now distinguishes the producing estate from the neighboring processing estate and avoids implying unverified ownership.

What you might taste

Black & White lists bergamot, black tea, peach and plum. One independent reviewer also reported blood orange, blueberry and chocolate salt-water taffy after dialing in.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

What people don't

The reviewer found the roast more developed than the roaster’s scale suggested and needed to shorten the brew before it aligned with expectations.
