Since taking over the estate in 2008, Maria Antonella Amoruso — Boquete-born mother of six, entrepreneur, and coffee lover — has steered Lérida toward global renown as a consistent Best of Panama producer of top-10 scoring lots in both Geisha and Varietal categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf the estate's 100 hectares, 70 are planted with Geisha alongside Orange Bourbon, SL28 \u0026amp; SL34, Typica, and Catuai, whilst 30 hectares of protected forest safeguard the farm's biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Recognising that coffee workers' well-being is a linchpin of the farm's success, Maria has instituted quality-of-life programmes covering housing, food assistance, and schooling for workers' children, on top of competitive monetary incentives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Honey process at Finca Lérida (Lérida Estate) involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍒 \u003cstrong\u003eHandpicked ripe cherries\u003c\/strong\u003e — Selectively picked at peak ripeness, identifiable by deep red hue; each bush is harvested up to eight times across the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔧 \u003cstrong\u003eDepulping\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ripe cherries are carefully depulped shortly after harvest, leaving a controlled amount of mucilage on the parchment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eSlow honey drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — Parchment is slowly dried in the open air during the day with constant turning, then sheltered overnight in a dedicated drying house.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📅 \u003cstrong\u003eRested\u003c\/strong\u003e — After drying, the coffee is rested and conditioned before being sorted, graded, and milled for export.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a cup that expresses the terroir of Alto Quiel, Boquete, Chiriquí, Panama with precision and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA distinctive honey-processed Geisha that steps well away from the variety's familiar jasmine-and-peach register.
