Panama Finca Lerida Espendorosa

Finca Lerida is located 10 minutes away from central Boquete. At the end of his work as a Panama Canal engineer in 1924, the Norwegian Tollef Mšnniche and his wife Julia purchased and moved to Finca Lerida. In the coming years, he invented and patented the ÒsifonÓ, a device designed separate ÒfloatersÓ from the rest of the HSvest. This device is now is used worldwide by many coffee plantations, and the original machine is still in use at Finca Lerida where MšnnicheÕs old processing plant continues to process coffee of excellent quality. In 1929, Finca Lerida exported its first shipment of Panamanian coffee to Germany. This founded PanamaÕs reputation as a country where high quality coffee was produced. Lerida Estate coffees encompass a wide range of cup cHSacteristics; each lot can be wildly different, but all display equally high quality and clarity of flavor.
