REPRINTED FROM NEWSROOM PANAMA
The 30th edition celebrated the past, present, and future of specialty coffee cultivation and its legacy for new generations. Lamastus Family Estates was the winner in the washed Geisha category.
The 30th edition of the Best of Panama competition in July 2026 highlights the world’s finest Geisha coffee lots, evaluated by national and international judges in Chiriquí. This milestone year celebrates elite estates and record-breaking micro-lots from volcanic highlands like Boquete and Volcán.

- World of Coffee Panama: Scheduled for October 23–25, 2026, at the Panama Convention Center, bringing global exhibitors and championships to Panama City.
Iconic Estates & Profiles
- Finca Nuguo: Highlighted on international stages, such as the World Brewers Cup 2026 winning routine.
- Lamastus Family Estates & Hacienda La Esmeralda: Renowned benchmark producers famous for record-setting auction lots and historical sweep categories.
- Flavor Notes: Characterized by tea-like clarity, jasmine, bergamot, delicate citrus, and complex tropical fruit profiles.
The celebration of the aroma and flavor of Panamanian coffee celebrated its 30th edition with the Best of Panama, a competition that has become the main showcase for the cultivation, processing and marketing of the country’s specialty coffee. In the Geisha Natural category, first place went to Finca Lérida, owned by María Antonela Amoruso, with 95.63 points, while Altieri Specialty Coffee, owned by the Altieri family, won in the Varietals category with 93.63 points.

[News Boquete] Authors and Artisans Wanted
As many of you know, boquete.app is going away.
Our new site, which launches on 1, Sept, is radically different.
Besides over 600 listings of businesses and service organizations,
it has two, very special, new sections.
One is "Articles" about life in Boquete/Chiriqui, so if you have a passion for something,
and can write in an informative and engaging style, perhaps you could be
published with us, and share your knowledge and wisdom with our community.
The other new section is our "Artisan Marketplace", where items can be offered, and 'reserved'.
We don't process payments or handle fulfillment, and do not charge commissions,
we connect buyers and sellers for the benefit of both.
If you have products you have participated in creating, in any of the following categories,
you could have a store for free for one year (a $90 value) if you act now.
Artisan Pantry
Bath, Body & Wellness
Handmade Home & Decor
Jewelry & Accessories
Paintings & Fine Art
Photography & Prints
Sculptures & Ceramics
Woodwork & Leather
