finca lerida coffee tour

LÉRIDA COFFEE ESTATE

Over a century of history.

It all began in 1911 when Toleff Bache Mönniche, a Norwegian engineer and graduate of the Royal College of Dresden, Germany, traveled to the Highlands of Chiriquí. He sailed along the Pacific coast for 7 days and rode uphill for hours to reach a place that is still unique in the world today: Lérida Coffee Farm. A magical space amidst the immense slopes of Volcán Barú and the high ridges of the Central Mountain Range.

In 1924, engineer Mönniche finally retired from the Panama Canal and, together with his wife Julia, moved to Lérida Coffee Farm, where he hand-built his house in a Norwegian rural style and established the first gravity-fed coffee plantation in Panama.

We are a team of 40 collaborators, mostly locals, who work tirelessly to deliver the highest quality. Our true potential is reflected in the professionalism of each team member and their daily dedication. From the culinary department to activities such as birdwatching, we take pride in warmly welcoming our guests from the very moment they arrive.

HOUSE BLEND COFFEE

Our primary focus in coffee cultivation revolves around specialty varieties, with Geisha being our most prominent export. Additionally, we cultivate other varieties such as Pacamara, Catuaí, and Typica, among others. At present, we are actively introducing and cultivating new coffee varieties in the upper section of our farm.

We employ three different processing methods: washed, honey, and natural. Additionally, we offer medium, light, and extra-light roasts, depending on the specific variety of coffee bean.

Finca Lerida coffee plantation tour

coffee coffee tasting

The Boquete area of Panama is trying to make coffee tasting in the region equivalent to what wine tasting is to Napa. What this leads to are fascinating tours and even better coffee. We opted to tour Finca Lerida’s coffee plantation (they also have a great hotel). This was the very first coffee plantation ever established in Panama and still produces coffee exported worldwide. The fascinating nearly 3 hour tour demonstrated everything from how the berries are handpicked, to how they are dried in the sun, shelled, stored, and processed. Enjoy wandering the rows of coffee bushes, the ecology of coffee farming, how the plantation is handling new threats of climate change, and finish with with an incredibly unique tasting experience of 6 types. Make sure to try the Geisha type which is especially renowned. Our guide Cesar was incredibly knowledgeable and told awesome stories. Your tour also includes a pastry and coffee in the cafe on site.

If you go 6 miles uphill from Boquete, you’ll find a hidden gem called Finca Lerida Coffee Estate & Boutique Hotel.

Located between the skirts of Baru Volcano and the mountains of Panama’s Central mountain range, this expansive property is a historical coffee plantation full of lush vegetation and peace.

Finca Lerida: A Historical Hideout

One of the best parts of staying in Finca Lerida is to learn about its history, which is closely connected to Panama’s culture.

The plantation’s fame started back when Panama began exporting coffee to Germany in 1929. It was built by Toleff Bache Mönniche, a Norwegian engineer who worked on the Panama Canal in the early 20th century.

When Mönniche retired from being an engineer in the 1920s, he moved to Finca Lerida with his wife. Here he built a house and turned the place into the first coffee plantation by gravity in Panama. He also created and patented what is known as ‘sifon’, a device that separates good from bad coffee beans. The plantation has been working ever since.

The building itself has been turned into a boutique hotel. Originally it was built with a Norwegian style to suit its owners, but now it provides a boutique experience to guests in search of a home-like ambiance in the forests of Panama.

Fine Coffee, Nature & Dining

Finca Lerida borders Amistad National Park, a natural reserve that transcends borders and is protected by both Costa Rica and Panama. This reserve is a safe haven for a wide variety of flora and fauna, and due to its importance, it has been declared a World Heritage Site.

Finca Lerida’s seclusion is a declaration of its peacefulness and unique possibility to disconnect from the world and commune with nature.

There are trails across the property to explore the forest, and there’s even chance to visit a waterfall. Finca Lerida is renowned for its birdwatching as well. Take a pair of binoculars and hike along to discover hummingbirds, flowerpiercers, toucanets, and other jumping and singing birds along the way.

As a guest of Finca Lerida, you are also welcome to participate in a coffee tour that teaches you how a good cup of coffee is made. See every step from plantation to brewing methods, and taste a quality drink Panama style.

The on-site restaurant, La Brulerie, and the Cafe are ideal to relax and enjoy a good meal. The traditional menu is complemented by international twists from the chef and sous-chef.

Experience fresh ingredients and real, local flavors from Panama. Don’t forget to try the maracuja pie one of those afternoons with a cup of coffee.

If seclusion, history and nature sound like your perfect Panama vacation , Finca Lerida is for you. Contact us if you have any questions, and take the first steps towards the escapade of your dreams!

Every itinerary includes:

• Boutique hotel with few visitors.
• A historical location to commune with nature.
• On-site restaurant and café.
• Hiking trails that are also perfect for birdwatching.

Experience Panama’s Coffee Farming Tradition in the Chiriquí Highlands

A coffee circuit connects 15 farms that offer tours and tastings in what’s been called the “Napa Valley of coffee”

Jennifer Billock

Travel Correspondent

The top of Volcán Barú in western Panama is one of the few places in the world where it is possible to see both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans at the same time. But the spot, with regular rainfall and cloud cover, and nutrient-rich volcanic soil that is naturally good for drainage, is prized for another reason: coffee production. The area’s geisha variety , maintained and handpicked by the Indigenous Ngäbe and Buglé communities, is one of the priciest coffees in the world at more than $1,000 per pound unroasted.

“They [the Ngäbe and Buglé] are the ones most in contact with coffee over the last hundred years,” Diwigdi Valiente, a climate and Indigenous activist, told Travel + Leisure in 2021. “The reason the coffee is so expensive is because these farmers are doing all these things right. They’re listening to nature, they are listening to science, and they are also listening to people.”

Coffee first came to Panama in the early 1800s thanks to an English sea captain who brought plants with him when he married a Panamanian woman. At first, the coffee was planted along the coast, but locals soon learned that the microclimate of the Chiriquí Highlands at the base of Volcán Barú was perfect for the coffee to thrive. Coffee farms flourished from that point.

Though the country grows a comparatively small amount— 13 million pounds annually compared to Brazil’s five billion pounds—Panamanian coffee lovers consume more coffee per capita today than most coffee-producing countries. Still, much of the coffee is exported, and the farming of it has spawned a tourist activity. Established by t he Tourism Authority of Panama and the Center for Competitiveness of the Western Region in 2019, the ever-expanding Coffee Circuit connects 15 farms that offer tastings and tours of their fields and production facilities.

“All types of travelers, from families to nature lovers and adventurers, are welcomed to explore the coffee farms that are located in three main regions of the Chiriquí Highlands: Tierras Altas, which includes Volcan, Bambito and Cerro Punta; as well as Renacimiento and Boquete,” Promtur Panama, the official destination marketing organization for Panama, explained in a 2021 statement . The Chiriquí Highlands, after all, have been called the “Napa Valley of coffee.”

Here are five must-see farms:

Finca Lerida, Boquete

The world might not know about coffee from Panama if it weren’t for Finca Lerida . Norwegian engineer Toleff Bache Mönniche moved to the spot (about six miles uphill from Boquete, a small mountain town near the Costa Rica border) in 1924 with his wife, Julia, after he retired from years working on the Panama Canal. The couple built their home by hand and, that same year, started the coffee plantation. In 1929, Mönniche exported to Germany the very first shipment of Panamanian coffee to leave the country.

Today, the 900-acre Finca Lerida has a restaurant, a coffee shop and rooms to rent for overnight stays. The tour of the property starts in the coffee fields, to discuss the local terroir, and ends with a tasting of pacamara, catuai, caturra, typica and geisha varieties and a lesson on best practices for brewing a cup. Visitors follow trails ideal for birdwatching, with the local quetzal bird and more than 500 other bird species in the surrounding landscape.

Finca Café de Eleta, Renacimiento

Neighboring La Amistad International Park , a biodiverse Unesco World Heritage Site at the northwestern edge of Panama, Finca Café de Eleta has a responsibility to keep its coffee production environmentally safe. In 2003, the farm became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact , a volunteer-based initiative that focuses on sustainability, committing them to implementing and measuring sustainability initiatives. All of Finca Café de Eleta’s wastewater is treated organically and returned to the surrounding area, and solid waste gets composted and turned into fertilizer.

Finca Café de Eleta was first established in 1978 as a vegetable and sheep farm. The first coffee plants, of the catuaí variety, were planted in 1995. Now, the farm has more than 457 acres ranging in elevation from 3,937 to 4,921 feet, growing bourbon, catuaí, caturra, geisha, maragogype, pacamara and typica varieties of coffee. Tours through coffee plant nurseries and packaging processes last two hours. Visitors can add an hour-long tasting for an extra fee, or stay the night at the farm.

Lamastus Family Estates, Boquete

The three farms that make up the Lamastus Family Estates —Elida, El Burro and Luito Geisha—produce what’s considered some of the highest quality coffee in the world. Elida Estate is not only the highest in elevation of the three, but also the highest coffee farm in all of Panama, ranging from 5,200 to 8,500 feet above sea level. Coffee planting stops at 6,000 feet, though, due to Panamanian law; the remainder of Elida Estate is an ecological park within Volcán Barú National Park .

Elida started producing coffee in 1918. Due to the high altitude and cloudy rainforest environment, the beans are denser with a higher acidity than most coffees. Every coffee cherry (the coffee bean is the cherry’s seed) is handpicked by Indigenous Ngäbe and Buglé, which helps account for its higher-than-average price, up to $1,000 per pound green. During tours at Elida Estate , participants can pick coffee cherries, watch the coffee manufacturing process, taste tree tomatoes (a roma-tomato-sized fruit that grows on trees and tastes like under-ripe tomatoes), and do a coffee tasting with the farm’s owner, Wilford Lamastus, or his son, Wilford Lamastus Jr.

Janson Coffee Farm, Tierras Altas

At Janson Coffee Farm , which lines the slopes of the Tisingal and Barú volcanoes at about 5,000 feet elevation, producing coffee in harmony with the surrounding environment is the main goal. The team grows green tip geisha, catuaí, caturra and pacamara varieties in soil they manage with enzyme microorganisms to maintain the ideal nutrient level. None of the coffee at Janson is grown using pesticides or herbicides; the different plots are separated by steps of forest that both control pests and allow natural flora and fauna to flourish. The farm is powered by 400 solar panels, and all waste is processed to use as either fuel or fertilizer. The farm’s owners are also dedicated to reforestation, growing native seedlings in the nursery to replant outside the coffee fields.

Swedish farmer Carl Axel Janson first started the farm in 1941, raising cattle. When the second generation took over, they opened Janson Coffee Farm. Today, the coffee, now produced by the fourth Janson generation, regularly wins top marks in the Best of Panama and World Brewers Cup competitions. Tours of the farm provide an overview of the different varieties of coffee plants grown there as well as the coffee production process from start to finish, and include a visit to the estate and the nursery. A coffee tasting is an add-on.

Don Pepe Estate Coffee, Boquete

Don Pepe Estate Coffee in the Volcán Barú foothills opened in 1898, making it the oldest coffee farm in the region and the first farm in Panama to specialize in coffee. The Vasquez family, now on the fifth generation of ownership, specializes in geisha coffee, but also in three different processing styles: natural, honey and washed. With the natural process, the coffee fruit dries whole, making the coffee full-bodied with low acidity. The honey process extracts the pulp layer before the coffee is dried, leaving a sweet acidity in the finished brew, and a washed process removes everything, leaving just the bean for a light body and fruit-focused flavor.

Tours at Don Pepe run twice a day and cover the growing and manufacturing of their eight varieties: geisha, java, pacamara, bourbon, typica, catuaí, caturra and a blend. The tour ends with a tasting. Don Pepe Estate also provides transportation—they’ll pick you up and drop you off from nearby accommodations.

Boquete Panama

The reputation of Finca Lérida is as old as the first shipment of Panamanian coffee exported to Germany in it’s history, in 1929.

From its spectacular landscape sprang a coffee of such high quality, that soon the consumer countries of the aromatic coffee realized that Panama had other unique attractions, beyond the Canal. One of these was, and remains, Finca Lerida.

In 1924, engineer Toleff Bache Mönniche, along with his wife, moved to Finca Lerida. Here he built his house completely by hand in a Norwegian countryside style, and built the first Coffee Plantation by gravity in Panama.

In 1929, Finca Lerida exported to Germany its first shipment of Panamanian coffee, and this began Panama ́s high reputation as one of the exotic coffees of greater quality in Europe.

Finca Lerida is currently managed by the Amoruso Family, who coordinates the appropriate growth process of coffee, protect the lush virgin forest that surrounds the property and offer a genuine stay for all visitors to the Boutique Hotel Finca Lerida that is located in the middle of the coffee plantation.

Finca Lérida is conformed by 5 farms located in the province of Chiriquí in Panama, specifically in the Boquete region. Ranging between 1500 and 2000 meters in altitude, these farms are:

• Lérida Estate
• Esplendorosa Estate
• Amelia Estate
• El Salto Estate
• Flora Estate

VARIETALS OF SPECIALTY COFFEE

With it’s special atmospheric and topographic conditions, Finca Lérida is able to grow different arabica varietals with qualities that you can perceive in the cup such as fragance, flavor, acidity and body.

Among these varieties you will find:

In the main farm, Lérida Estate and in an altitude above 1900 meters, the experimental micro lots with varieties such as the following are found:

• Orange Bourbon
• Midget Geishas

THE SECRET OF OUR SUCCESS

Picking standars have been set in order to get the most ripped cherries to assure a premium product,

Processes are closely followed throughout the producing season to make sure the beans meet their full potential.

Early in the season, buyers can make a contract to buy an specific amount of coffee processed in their process of preference.

Amongst the procedures the cherries go through are;

• Washed or wet process
• Natural or dry process
• Honey process
• Black Honey
• ASD or Anaerobic Slow Dry

Each of them will take the experience of the cupping through a different path.

By the end of this 2021 crop we would produce 4000 bags of 100 pounds each.

Finca Lerida Coffee Plantation and Boutique Hotel

• Description
• Only non-smoking Rooms

Finca Lerida Boutique Hotel is a 15-minute drive outside of Boquete town, nestled in a coffee plantation. This boutique hotel offers a gourmet restaurant and luxurious rooms with spectacular views of the surrounding gardens, cloud forests and mountains. Baru Volcano National Park is 4 km away.

Finca Lerida began to export the Panamanian highland coffee to Germany in 1929 and still produces quality coffee today, which can be sampled in the Finca’s café and restaurant. Imagine waking up to a cup of locally grown, roasted and ground coffee, while listening to the song of birds and breathing the clean highland air. The coffee plantation itself is home to over 500 bird species which makes every walk across the property a birdwatcher’s dream come true.

A meal in the house restaurant, consisting of fresh local and international specialties is well rounded off by the excellent choice of wines and the house coffee brewed to perfection. Enjoy that culinary experience on the airy terrace or inside the cozy restaurant while you watch the appearance of the first stars on the night sky.

The comfortable rooms recall with a touch of Scandinavian vintage design the Norwegian background of the Finca’s builder and original owner. For a special touch of history opt for the historical suite (Casa Centenario) which was hand-built by Toleff Bache Mönniche, the Finca’s founder in 1929.

All rooms and suites offer a 42-inch LCD TV with satellite cable channels, safe, deluxe toiletries, Wi-Fi Internet and phone service.

Coffee Tour at Finca Lérida

$ 89.00

The coffee tour begins in the fields of Boquete where we can take a look at the three fundamental factors that influence the quality of coffee: the soil, the microclimate and the particular genetics of the variety. We will know the history, the origin, the qualities and the secrets of the manipulation of the coffee. In the second stage of the tour, we will learn about the production of coffee until the end of the cherry from ripe coffee to roasted bean.

What makes this tour unique, in addition to the priceless ecological reserve of the coffee plantations, is its history, which has always been tied to Toleff Boche Mönniche.

Las vistas maravillosas, el frio perfecto, y la atención de Luz en el restaurante fue 5 estrellas, el café el mejor que he probado en toda mi vida y luz es la master! Katyuska también muy amable, el personal en general impecable, una atención fuera de este mundo, volveré seguro!!!

Los senderos necesitan mayor cantidad de letreros. Es muy fácil perderse, a pesar de tener mapa. Las habitaciones necesitan cortinas black out.

Location is stunning and grounds were beautiful. Very peaceful with lots of birds and wildlife. Great coffee!

Location, calm area. We enjoyed the coffee tour, food, facilities

Gorgeous coffee plantation nestled in the mountains above Boquete. Excellent local tours by well-informed bird and coffee guide, Cesar. Pleasant restaurant with a lovely location.

we enjoyed everything in the hotel. the coffe tour was very informative.

Our stay at Finca Lerida was magical! Amazing people, the grounds and setting were beautiful and so peaceful and uplifting right up high in the hills and rainforest. And the fact that it is a working coffee plantation is a bonus - worth booking their coffee tour and they produce some of the best coffee in the world! Oh yes and the food is fantastic as well!

The Staff was really nice with my parents. They loved the tour around the coffee fields. Tasting the different coffee flavors was a lovely experience for them. They loved all, bedroom, garden, food and staff, what an experience 🥰

The nature, the mountains, the flowers, the places that the hotel has outside. The food was good and the people is kind

the gardens are fantastic, full of birds and flowering plants and beautiful vistas, with nice walking trails into the surrounding cloud forest. The coffee is just as great as you would expect from a coffee farm 😋

Guests can enjoy whitewater rafting trips, zip-line canopy tours, horseback riding, and visits to organic coffee farms. Fishing charters—targeting black marlin, sailfish, wahoo, and cubera snapper—can be arranged for half, full and multi-day excursions.

Chiriqui’s diverse microclimates require creative packing. In general, the best time to visit is between January and April. The highlands are characterized by cool evenings, with rain potential from August to November.

Hotel Finca Lerida in Boquete Panama – Here’s What We Thought

“Please take me to Boquete,” our daughter begged, “I’ve heard how nice it is.” We, her indulgent parents, promptly made reservations at Finca Lerida, a boutique hotel-cum-coffee plantation in Boquete, Panama. They have made the most of Boquete’s unique climate, growing everything from English garden flowers to lush, tropical plants in their beautifully landscaped grounds.

Birdwatching

When we checked in we asked about the price of hiring a guide for a morning bird watching walk. We declined when we found out it’s $75 per person. Bird lovers worldwide don’t mind flying here and paying that kind of money to increase their chances of seeing the elusive quetzal and the many other birds unique to this province.

Tip:  If you’re a bird lover, it’s definitely worth hiring a guide, though I’d suggest you do a little research ahead of time to find a local who will do it for less. Or ask at a hostel; they might know.

Coffee tours

If you’d like to see how they grow coffee in Panama, Finca Lerida offers tours. They grow and roast it on the premises and serve it in their dining room, so if you eat here you can try their coffee.

Had it not been drizzling we’d have breakfasted outdoors on the porch. Our table was right next to the window though, so we could still watch birds land and eat the treats the owners left for them. The meals took quite a while because we kept getting up to take photos of the ones we’d never seen before. I wish I knew what they all were; they were so pretty. (If you know what these birds are, PLEASE tell us in the comments.)

Hiking in the highlands

As soon as Dan learned that the finca has forested trails for its guests he wanted to take his camera into the woods. He invited us to join him but we declined; the heavy clouds, cool air and mist put us more in the mood for an afternoon snooze. Liz took one look at the hammock on the porch and headed outside with a blanket, and I was left alone in the snug quiet of our room. I bundled myself up into another blanket and promptly fell asleep on the bed. Sometimes it’s good to do nothing at all.

Finca Lerida was a comfortable stay in a local place, and their restaurant served good food. It is ideal for birdwatchers and people who enjoy peace and quiet or need to detox from electronics. On the other hand, if you need to stay in touch with the office you should know that we could get NO signal for our phones and the rooms don’t have Wi-Fi or TV. Be prepared for that if you visit.

Tip: Pack for typical mountain weather. Bring socks and a sweater or jacket along, because Boquete can get chilly.
