Farm History

The Lamastus Family Estates were founded in 1918 by Roberto Lamastus, incorporating three estates: Elida Estate, El Burro Estate, Luito Estate. Each of these farms is located in a different region of the highlands of Panama and accordingly possesses its own microclimate and terroir.

Nestled in the untouched nature of Panama, partially enveloped by the majestic Baru Volcano National Park, lies El Burro Estate – a gem among coffee farms. Under the stewardship of the Lamastus family for generations, this farm is distinguished by its dedicated art of coffee cultivation. The farm spans 65 hectares, of which 30 hectares are dedicated to coffee cultivation and 35 hectares to a protected forest reserve.

El Burro Estate is renowned for its location in one of the least disturbed regions of Panama, endowing the coffee with a unique character. At elevations of up to 2000 meters, with coffee growing up to 1750 meters, a microclimate unfolds that is distinctly different from that of the neighboring Elida Estate. This altitude, combined with the rich, volcanic soil and unique microclimate, lays the foundation for the development of the coffee's complex flavors.

In harmony with nature, the coffee is shade-grown and bird-friendly. This not only contributes to the preservation of local biodiversity but also fosters a coffee of exceptional quality. El Burro Estate has made a name for itself through this sustainable and careful cultivation practice, receiving numerous awards for its coffee.

Family Project SUPREMO

Our quality standards

We are convinced that no machine can replace a traditional roasting start and a good roasting master. At Supremo, coffee is not industrially produced - because Supremo is a traditional family coffee roaster. Day after day we work hard together to produce the best coffee and to inspire our customers for true coffee enjoyment! We attach great importance to first-class and always checked manual work.

The roasting craft

We roast in several small, traditional cast-iron roasting drums. We take our time until the coffee is really well roasted - each roasting batch separately. Due to the slow roasting, the coffee tastes strong and is particularly easy on the stomach and digestible. Insiders call this "Cast Iron Slow Roast". We call it: "Good things take time". Because if you roast too hot and too fast, you get beans that are brown on the outside - but don't reveal much of the magic inside. But this is exactly what we want to get out of the beans. After roasting, we do not rub the beans with water. We cool them with air and thus give them the opportunity to intensify the roasting aroma. Best craftsmanship and time - that is our secret!
