The coffee was acquired by roasters from South Korea after an international online auction, the Lamastus family confirmed.

The grain comes from Luito Estate, a recently created farm located 1,930 meters above sea level in the vicinity of the Sendero de Los Quetzales in Chiriquí.

According to technical production records, the climatic conditions of the area, characterized by low temperatures and the phenomenon of bajareque, favored a slow ripening of the grain.
