Introduction to the manor

The Las Minas Mountains are located in eastern Guatemala and contain countless treasures belonging to Guatemala. In addition to the natural forest ecosystem and wildlife, it is rich in gold and jade veins, making the treasures of the Las Minas Mountains famous in Central America. In order to protect this mountain forest, the Las Minas Mountains have now been planned as a Guatemalan national park.

In the early days, the Las Minas Mountains were out of touch with coffee cultivation because of their high altitude and latitude and cold. However, with the influence of Greenhouse Effect, high-altitude boutique coffee cultivation is gradually found in the Las Minas Mountains, of which the most famous is this Biya Manor (La Bella). Bella means "beauty" in Spanish, and it also accurately describes this beautiful manor. Pia Manor was one of the first high-altitude boutique coffee estates to be grown in the Las Minas Mountains, and this emerging micro-producing area began to have a place in the C.O.E Cup after it came to the fore in Guatemala. Located on the southern slopes of the Las Minas Mountains, the volcanic island chain in southern Guatemala isolates moisture from the Pacific Ocean, while the northern mountains block moisture from the Atlantic Ocean, making the microclimate very dry. However, Biya Manor has unique conditions, there is a gurgling water spring in the manor, so that the manor has abundant water for irrigation and excellent washing treatment all the year round. After four generations of efforts of the manor family, Biya Manor now has outstanding experience and wisdom in seed selection, planting, harvest and treatment. At the same time, the manor attaches great importance to environmental conservation: using solar energy to drive drying facilities, recycling water, earthworm hatching trough (to improve soil fertility by natural composting); improve the quality of life of manor workers: provide medical assistance, education, living environment and related social welfare services.
