Lemon Tree Manor in Nicaragua (JavaNica?Nicaragua Limoncillo Estate)

Coffee producing areas: Nicaragua / Matagalpa Province / Limoncillo Manor

Planting area: 100 ha

Planting altitude: 980-1350 m

Raw bean variety: JavaNica (Long Berry)

Raw bean treatment: Washed and Sun Dried

Harvest season: December to March

Lemon Tree Manor and Gloria Manor (La Gloria & Limoncillo) side by side, is currently run by a pair of sisters, inherited from their father-Esteban McEwin, since 1938 began to grow coffee in the local industry, covering an area of about 200 hectares, of which about 100 hectares, more than 1000 meters above sea level in the manor planted in the coffee tree varieties include: Maragoipe, Pacamara, Bourbon, Caturra, JavaNica.

When the bean was harvested six years later and was highly rated, many people asked him what kind of bean it was. Because the appearance is so similar to Geisha, Erwin said: we can name it "Mist Mountain Lady" or excellent ancient species, etc., but it will be far away from her original species, and it is easy to be confused, so we use the name JavaNica. Because she is a Java species, but she was successfully restored in Nicaragua, she was named JavaNica.

Java is still cultivated in Java at present, but because of its low yield and poor disease resistance, many farms have changed to new varieties. From the appearance, the traditional Java bean type is quite similar to Typica species, generally seen Java bean type is short and slender (that is, short berry-shaped), while long grain (long berry) Java species is even more rare. In addition to the rarity of variety and appearance, what I am pursuing is actually testing the flavor in the cup, and this Java seed can meet the needs of all parties: scarcity, good flavor, and the story that this species has been planted is full! after winning the runner-up in the Nicaragua CoE contest in 2008, it was introduced for the first time and trained a lot of diners!

El Limoncillo, lemon tree manor, since 2001, it has been planted in 5 manors of the family because of its charming flavor, but the total output is still very small. This year, the best one is less than 100 bags. One batch is carefully selected to go to the CoE competition, and the rest is less than 80 bags. The McEwan family's acquisition of this legendary variety was dramatic, and the family's estate was actually located in a fine planting area, leading to the legendary restoration of Javanese in Central America and the revival of the once-lost vanilla flavor of Java.
