總覽
很少有咖啡能像這款一樣，匯集了如此特殊的產地、處理法和專業評價。Vuelta 批次是 Elida 莊園生產力最高的完全生產區塊 — 位於巴拿馬奇里基高地巴魯火山國家公園內，海拔介於 1,920 至 1,960 公尺之間。這裡種植的藝伎品種，在涼爽的雲霧森林條件和肥沃的火山土壤中生長，結出的咖啡櫻桃具有非凡的芳香密度。
這個批次受到 2024 年巴拿馬最佳咖啡競賽中榮獲第一名（95.13 分）的 Elida 藝伎日曬啟發。這種特殊處理的咖啡僅生產了 10 公斤。僅剩少量庫存 — 此批次將不再補貨。
產地 — 巴拿馬波奎特 Elida 莊園
十多年來，Elida 莊園一直處於精品咖啡的巔峰。莊園位於巴魯火山國家公園內，得益於持續的雲層覆蓋、富含礦物質的火山土壤以及劇烈的日夜溫差，這些條件極大地減緩了咖啡櫻桃的成熟速度。Vuelta 地塊的藝伎樹種植在近 2,000 公尺處，結出的櫻桃帶有濃郁的糖分、層次豐富的香氣以及定義世界級藝伎的清澈酸質。
Lamastus 家族世代經營 Elida 莊園，已成為巴拿馬最佳咖啡競賽勝利和不斷追求處理法創新的代名詞。這裡採用的 DRD 日曬處理法是他們最精緻的製程之一。
處理法 — 暗室乾燥日曬
暗室乾燥（DRD）處理法是 Elida 莊園開發的一種受控日曬處理法，旨在實現日曬咖啡的甜度和複雜性，同時保留藝伎著名的芳香透明度。
- 成熟的咖啡櫻桃經過仔細篩選，並舖在架高的乾燥床上
- 乾燥過程在受控的黑暗環境中進行 — 避免陽光直射 — 以減緩水分流失，並在不產生劇烈氧化反應的情況下讓風味發展
- 延長且溫和的乾燥期生產出的日曬咖啡，保留了藝伎標誌性的花香，而非傳統日曬咖啡的濃郁果香
其結果是，這款日曬咖啡具有水洗咖啡般的清澈度 — 花香、茶感，且明亮動人。
風味描述
儘管經過日曬處理，Vuelta DRD 依然捕捉到水洗藝伎那般清澈、茶感的優雅。預期會有佛手柑、茉莉花、洋甘菊和木瓜的風味，並伴隨著明亮、如香檳般的酸度和絲滑的口感。餘韻帶有持久的花香甜味和熱帶深度 — 這是世界上最受推崇咖啡品種的感官標誌。

「豐富的花香，異國情調且精緻……香氣和杯中風味帶有佛手柑、茉莉花、新鮮木瓜、洋甘菊、黑巧克力。明亮，如香檳般的酸度；絲滑細膩的口感。餘韻悠長，帶有花香甜味和熱帶深度。」
沖煮建議
這款咖啡值得耐心和精準的沖煮：
- 手沖 — 強烈推薦。使用細口壺，中細研磨，並以緩慢、均勻的注水方式，以展現其完整的花香和水果複雜性
- 聰明濾杯或 Kalita Wave — 溫和的浸泡式沖煮法，在保留香氣的同時軟化酸度
- 避免濃縮咖啡 — 這款咖啡的細膩風味最適合以較低的萃取強度表現
使用 92–94°C 的過濾水。沖煮前立即新鮮研磨。在第一次注水前，讓咖啡粉充分排氣。
適合對象
- 尋求世界級藝伎風味的藝伎愛好者
- 巴拿馬最佳咖啡競賽和周邊批次的收藏家
- 最重視花香、茶感和芳香咖啡的飲用者

What Is 100% Kona Coffee?
100% Kona coffee refers to coffee grown exclusively in the Kona district of Hawai‘i Island — a small, volcanic region
along the western slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa. The combination of mineral-rich soil, afternoon cloud cover, and gentle trade winds produces one of the world’s most distinctive coffee terroirs.
To be labeled “100% Kona Coffee,” every bean must be grown within the Kona district and meet strict Hawai‘i grading quality standards. Kona coffee can be made from different arabica varieties, but Kona Typica — a heirloom lineage — remains the region’s most common and traditional cultivar.

About Kona Coffee
-
Kona coffee grows on the volcanic slopes of Hawai‘i Island, where mineral-rich soil, afternoon cloud cover, and slow cherry maturation create a naturally sweet and balanced cup. Our Kona Classic Medium is sourced from high-elevation farms and hand-harvested for clarity, smoothness, and elegant sweetness.
-
Yes — this roast is Authentic Kona coffee made exclusively from North Kona district-grown coffees, never blended. Our Kona coffees comes from small farms at the highest altitudes in the region.
-
Medium roasts highlight Kona’s signature profile: gentle sweetness, soft citrus, toasted almond, and milk chocolate. The result is a balanced, approachable cup ideal for everyday brewing.
-
This coffee shines in pour-over, drip, and French press. Use filtered water just off the boil and a medium grind for maximum clarity and sweetness. If you are looking for a Hawaiian coffee for espresso use we recommend our Hawai‘i Island Blend
-
Kona is the highest labor cost coffee region in the world. Wages for farm workers here are 15-20x higher than almost all other coffee producing countries. Limited and expensive land, hand-picking, and high production costs create a naturally small supply each year — especially from high-elevation farms like those we partner with.

Coffees
-
Our commitment to you is to serve exceptional, fresh-roasted coffees. And part of being exceptional means roasting before the flavors inherent in the green bean begin to fade, which happens over time.
Like apples and pumpkins, coffee is a seasonal agricultural product and each country has a different harvesting cycle in which coffees are at their peak. If we were to insist on serving a single origin all year long, the flavors in that coffee would be noticeably better one half of the year over the other. So the reason you no longer see that coffee you loved is because the optimal season has passed. For more on seasonality in coffees, see this blog post here.
-
Hopefully so. If it was a popular product or we receive customer requests, we will make every attempt to bring it back. However, please note that coffees from a certain producer may not taste the same year after year.
If you loved a coffee and no longer see it listed, shoot us an email and ask us what is similar. We’d be happy to provide a personal recommendation.
-
We aim for balance and completeness along with differentiation and distinction. You shouldn't need to be a professional coffee taster to tell the coffees a part, so, when we’re selecting coffees, we want them to be distinct from each other.
We avoid ”one-trick pony” type coffees, such as Ethiopians with great aroma but no body or acidity, or coffees with good aroma and acidity but lacking sweetness. These elements, which are often reflections of the growing conditions, are harmonized through good roasting.
And, obviously, defects — even subtle defects — influence our selection. Since we live and work at origin, we’re sensitive to coffee defects like “past crop”, pulpy, and naturals that border on over-ferment. With naturals, we’ll only carry these when great examples are available.
-
Our perspective on roasting is similar: we seek balance and distinction. To expect that a coffee is “best” when roasted to some pre-determined degree (i.e. only light roasting or only dark roasting) is analogous to thinking that each person would look best in the same outfit, or each coffee should be grown in the same way. We believe it’s our job to discover the roast degree which best highlights outstanding qualities in each coffee.
