Why some details are blank
  • altitude mKlatch publishes a 1,900–1,950 m range, so the single-point altitude field remains blank rather than storing an inferred midpoint.
  • harvestThe exact product page does not publish a harvest date or harvest year.
  • independent exact-release ratingNo qualifying independent tasting review or rating was found for this exact Klatch release.

From the producer

The Lamastus family has operated the Elida Estate for over a century, with much of the land situated within the protected Volcán Barú National Park. They are renowned for their consistent success in the Best of Panama competition and their pioneering work with Geisha varietals.

From the roaster

Klatch identifies the Aguacate release as a medium-light classic natural Geisha: ripe cherries rest overnight and dry whole on raised beds for 20–35 days, with no added fermentation.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A classic natural Gesha from Elida Estate’s high-elevation Aguacate micro-terroir. This exact release is explicitly not anaerobic or ASD and should remain distinct from other Elida Aguacate processing experiments.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Select ripe cherries

Burgundy-red cherries are selected for the Aguacate lot.

02
Overnight rest

The ripe whole cherries rest overnight before drying.

03
Classic natural drying

The whole fruit dries on raised beds for about 20–35 days using time, airflow and the cherry's own sugars.

What was added?

Nothing is reported as added to the coffee.

What wasn't added?

Klatch explicitly says there is no added fermentation; this release should not be labeled ASD or anaerobic.

Why it matters

The classic natural method aims to build sweetness and aromatics while preserving Geisha clarity.

What you might taste

Jasmine, watermelon, Korean pear, violet, red grape, cantaloupe and lemongrass.

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.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-25) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
