Description:

Carmen Manor, an old and famous manor with a long history, is always at the top of the competition for the best coffee in Panama.

But in fact, the manor did not have post-processed coffee at the beginning, and the coffee cherries were sold to other large farms at a low price, until the owner Carlos realized that the quality of their coffee was good, so he began to purchase processing equipment and set strict harvest and treatment standards, which made Carmen Manor what it is today.

In 2014, we also visited Carmen Manor and visited the farm with the owner Carlos. As a matter of fact, it was raining all the time, but Carlos insisted on driving his four-wheel drive car and staggered all the way up into the manor. As soon as I entered the farm, I had nothing but admiration. Under the careful care of the manor owner, each kind of coffee tree is planted at the most suitable altitude and light, retaining a large number of forests and appropriate shade, such a changeable and unique climate has created a good reputation of Carmen Manor.

Another thing worth mentioning that day, we found some red cherries of Caturra and Geisha, and tried the pulp on the spot to compare. I can only stress once again that really good coffee is sweet and juicy from the source and can never be changed by adding or roasting later.

After returning to the manor warehouse, we immediately tested several types of coffee, including the one that will be on the shelves today. In fact, during the BOP review, I was deeply impressed and kept thinking about it. When I asked Carlos if he had any stock, he replied that there were only 5 bags left. Without saying a word, I would pack all of them right away! The coffee finished 10th in the BOP competition and did not go to the final auction (the top eight in the auction).

I would like to emphasize that there is a preference for judges in the competition itself, and it must be the highest quality coffee to be able to make it to the final round. We are very lucky to be able to buy this batch of sun-dried beans of competitive grade directly from Carlos and be able to buy them at a price of about 1max 3.

For friends who support Sweet House. I know that you have been looking forward to the direct purchase of coffee from Panama for a long time. In order to give back to our sweet friends, we will buy the same 15% discount on the sun batches and FST washing batches. The number is limited, sweet friends have to be quick--
