Founded in 1924 by Norwegian engineer Tollef Bache Mönniche, fresh from his work on the Panama Canal, the farm is nestled in the highlands of Alto Quiel, Boquete, at the gateway of Volcán Barú National Park. At over 1,600 meters above sea level, Lérida's cool mountain air, volcanic soil, and dense forest shade slow down cherry ripening, creating coffees with remarkable depth and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLérida is known for its pioneering spirit. Nearly a century ago, Mönniche designed Panama's first gravity-powered wet mill and patented a siphon sorting device, both still referenced on the farm today. Over the decades, Lérida has earned multiple top finishes at the Best of Panama competition, including first place in 2015 (Traditional Washed). Now over 100 years since its founding, the Amoruso family, descendants of the original founders, leads the estate with deep respect for its heritage and a focus on exceptional, terroir-driven coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Catuai Honey lot showcases a different side of Lérida. While the farm is celebrated for its elegant Geshas, this honey-processed Catuai delivers a juicy, syrupy cup. Drying the cherry with some of its natural mucilage intact concentrates the fruit's sugars, giving this lot bright cranberry juice acidity, a deep brown sugar sweetness, and a full, syrupy body, a different but equally beautiful expression of Boquete's high-altitude terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFun fact: Finca Lérida is also home to one of Panama's most renowned birdwatching destinations, with over 500 species of birds documented on the estate and surrounding cloud forest.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bean \u0026 Bean Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"10.9oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":54450029822227,"sku":"PANLER-CATHON-WB-10_9OZ","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":54450029854995,"sku":"PANLER-CATHON-WB-5LB","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/2420\/2309\/files\/LERIDAhoneylight.png?v=1784390110","url":"https:\/\/beannbeancoffee.com\/products\/panama-lerida-catuai-honey","provider":"Bean \u0026 Bean Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
