Nicaragua Tianci Manor Single Bean Differences, Distinctions and Awards

This is the first time anyone has published a travelogue on the subject of coffee upstream. My goal is to enhance the understanding of the downstream industry to the upstream industry chain, and through the interview photography to let the public spy on the story of coffee beans before entering the bag. As far as I know, this travel book is the world's first printed photo collection shot purely with Leica monochrom cameras. During this trip to Central America, I only used a 35mm lens with the nickname "Seven Jade". Since the purpose of photography is not aesthetic appreciation, the post-production is also based on the principle of storytelling. Please forgive me photographers.

Three months had passed since my visit to the farm. Coffee shops in the city do the same thing: the layout is still the same, the air conditioning is always on, and colleagues quietly participate in purchasing raw beans, baking, brewing, and communicating with customers. The only evidence of the passage of time may be the seasonal menu of special drinks. In June, I believe that the coffee trees in the valley have returned to green from red with fruits; after a while, the branches will be covered with white flowers and fragrance everywhere. Of course, the scene in the eyes of farmers will not be so romantic, but relying on the laws of nature's four seasons to work is something that many city people have never experienced in their poor lives.

In the long industrial chain, coffee has changed from a seed to a tree, from harvest to processing, and then from roasting to extraction, through countless hands of the same industry. This trip made me realize that I am not the only one who is curious about the industrial chain. Farmers also want to know how their coffee will be interpreted and appreciated by consumers on the other side of the world. For example, they know that the highest density beans are the best, that is, they sell well, but they know nothing about the difference between good and bad beans in taste or how to bake them. I used a local sample roaster to demonstrate how sun-cured coffee was roasted in my shop, and after tasting it, they exclaimed,"I didn't know we could grow coffee that way." I promised to mail them a set of hand brewers and funnels so farmers could taste the delicious coffee they grew.

Of course, they weren't the only ones amazed. The author and his team members saw farmers skillfully using geographical location and limited natural resources to bring the potential of fruits into full play. Especially in small family-run farms, where the meat beater is covered with rust, the sink is next to the kitchen sewer, and there is no tap water for cleaning, but bottled water! But a lot of the winners at nationals are small farms. Perhaps passion and concentration are the secret ingredients of quality.

Each farm has a different view of coffee, some hereditary, some refined. They will make moving works with limited facilities to match the weather of the season. And fine coffee most avoid defective beans. We spent the whole morning sifting only a few hundred grams of coffee before we realized that flawless coffee was not something to be taken for granted. It involved a lot of manpower and resources, as well as the dedication and dignity of farmers to their products.

The best coffee shops around the world send regular visits to the farm. In addition to purchasing, it will also explore market trends or discover new varieties. Seeing that many operators have regarded it as a routine of "picking goods", the author wants to open his eyes a little bit: every farm has its story worthy of detail.

n regalo de Dios means--(a gift from God)--, translated in Taiwan as Nueva Segovia, located at high altitude in Mozonte, Nigeria. The head of the estate is Luis Alberto Balladares Moncada.

In recent years, only about 30 coffee estates have been selected for the Nigerian CoE competition each year, of which 80% come from Nueva Segovia (New Sacovia), which is planted at an altitude of about 1400- 1700 meters. Tianci Manor Coffee Garden is mostly located on the hillside. Although it is steep, it has rich animal and plant ecology, beautiful mountain scenery, primitive forest and high cold mountain spring. It is very important to maintain the ecology. The altitude is about 1350 meters to 1800 meters. The clouds and clouds are swirling in the morning and evening. The annual rainfall is about 1700 millimeters. The annual average temperature is below 20 ° C. Therefore, the coffee flavor is rich and delicate. The soil is sandy and lime layer.

Pacamara is a rare and precious variety developed in El Salvador. It has a variety of flavors such as full/rich variety/apricot/vanilla/tropical fruit/chocolate/spice sweet. Few coffee varieties can have bright fruit acids and strong sweetness, but like other large beans, the yield is relatively scarce.

Pacamara is a variety derived from Maragogype and Pacas, which are composed of the first four letters of Maragogype and Pacas respectively. The particle size is close to that of elephant beans (about 20 mesh on average). It is the best coffee variety in Central and South America.

“God bless you, Patrick.”Luis, owner of the Nicaragua Providence Estate, is a devout Catholic, as can be seen from his behavior and kindness towards workers during the few days with him.
