The equipment, appliances and processing steps of Elida's processing field are all exquisite. Generally speaking, if the water content of coffee fruits processed to a certain stage exceeds 20% for a long time, the good quality ingredients in coffee fruits are not only easy to lose, but also may produce peculiar smell. In addition, Elida's processing field is still high in altitude, so there is a dedicated processing equipment to control the temperature and time during drying. This must be controlled properly. it is also an important and critical step involving quality.

This batch is treated by solarization, and the variety is a classic iron pickup. Typica: The oldest indigenous variety of Ethiopia, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, from which all Arabica is derived. Elegant flavor, but weak constitution, poor disease resistance, fruit yield less. Jamaica Blue Mountain, Sumatra Mantning, Hawaii Kona and other excellent estate beans belong to Tibika. The top leaf of tibeka is red copper color, called red top coffee, tibeka belongs to arabica.

More than half of the area is in the Panama National Park Reserve. It is a rare ultra-high altitude estate in Central America. According to the feasibility of the terrain, coffee is grown at 1,700 meters to nearly 2,000 meters. It is known for its "rich and delicious" main flavor.

Alida Manor, owned by its owner, Weaver Ramos, grows three varieties, including Tiberias, Crescents, and Catalans, and the nursery area nurtures seedlings of these species. The road to the manor was beautiful. At 1,700 meters, the air became cold. It was like walking in the mountains to enjoy the forest bath and breathe the fresh air. The two-kilometer terrain of the manor was broken and steep. After crossing the ridge line and reaching the saddle, it was actually flat and open land. The terrain could avoid the howling mountain wind. Weaver says this is the best place to grow roses!

Baru is a young volcano, more than 3,400 meters above sea level, is an active volcano, surrounded by seven different micro-climate zones, brewing rich and diverse ecology. The diverse microclimate has both advantages and disadvantages for coffee cultivation, but for Elida, her flavor is stronger and more aromatic than most Panama beans. The black berry aftertaste and varied taste become the main reasons why consumers love her.

However, high altitude terrain has its disadvantages. For example, Elida, the average altitude at which coffee is grown is more than 1,700 meters. The terrain is high and the temperature at night is low. Coffee can be harvested five years after planting, and the waiting period for harvest is very long. After entering the harvest period, the coffee ripening period is often more than a month, before ripening once the weather is abnormal, such as typhoon, heavy rain and other irresistible factors come, knowing that will cause heavy losses, but because the beans are not ripe, under the quality of insistence, because of not rushing to harvest, the harvest will drop sharply, the risk is actually much greater than that of low-altitude plantations.

Panama Coffee is known for its summertime of Emerald Estate, and Emerald Estate is also known for its Boquete region in Chiriqui province. Boquete is a town of Chiriqui in the province of Riquí, located near the border between Panama and Costa Rica, close to the famous Baru volcano, beautiful scenery, rich soil, climate and soil very suitable for producing high-quality coffee.

Since 2006, Elida's selected batches have been ranked as the best Panamanian winners every year. The price is expensive every year. Among the Central American estates, Elida should be regarded as the most "Kenyan blackberry notes". Its black berries and persistent complex fruit flavors are often praised. The judges also flocked to Elida's unique "fresh delicious", which comes from "Umami". At present, many experts include "umami" in the five tastes (sour, bitter, salty and fresh). The effect of umami is similar to monosodium glutamate. Food that freshens or makes soup, such as dried mushrooms, dried cheese and kelp, can be found in the existence of umami. The umami flavor in coffee is associated with a good "aftertaste," such as a long and pleasant aftertaste after sipping, which is a delicious taste experience.
