Coffee here ripens slowly in the mist, building density and layered flavor as it matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this lot, ripe cherries are picked at peak sweetness and processed using Wilford Lamastus’s Anaerobic Slow Dry method. The whole cherries ferment in a sealed tank for five days, then move to raised beds for an extended, low-and-slow dry of roughly 45 to 60 days. That longer drying time helps deepen complexity and clarity, often showing dark fruit character with a sparkling, lively acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLamastus Family Estates is led by Wilford Lamastus Sr., his wife Velia, and their son Wilford Lamastus Jr., and the family’s coffees have earned multiple top honors at Best of Panama, including first place in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #664fff;\"\u003eThe coffee was harvested in March 2025 and arrived at Bean \u0026amp; Bean’s roastery in September 2025.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bean \u0026 Bean Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"10.9oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":52971721589011,"sku":"PANEC-WB-10_9OZ","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":54367555387667,"sku":null,"price":182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/2420\/2309\/files\/IMG-1920.png?v=1784389710","url":"https:\/\/beannbeancoffee.sbs\/products\/elida-catuai-naturalasd","provider":"Bean \u0026 Bean Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
