Panamanian Aurora Manor Iron Man Summer

Panama Auromar, from the remote border of Panama, has a beautiful name aptly named [Aurora Manor]. It is located in the northwestern province of Chiriqu í, the valley to the west of the Volc á n Bar ú. The estate itself covers an area of 31 hectares, of which 16 hectares are primary tropical rain forest at an altitude of about 1700 to 1775 meters, while the remaining 15 hectares are planted with coffee trees at an altitude of about 1485 to 1700 meters. The average planting height of coffee trees is about 1625 meters, and each plant is shaded by tall Hass avocado. The temperature ranges from 16 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius, and the average annual rainfall is about 3500 millimeters. It is the most suitable environment for the production of high-quality coffee beans. During the harvest season, Aurora Manor sends the harvested ripe coffee berries to the nearby Caf é de Eleta S.A. For post-processing, the treatment plant is about 3 kilometers away from the farm, and a modern laboratory is set up for cup test tube and manual screening.

Roberto Brenes, the owner of the estate, is a typical coffee fanatic. His real identity is the CEO of the Panamanian Stock Exchange. In the early years, he obtained an MBA degree from Columbia University in the United States. After returning to China, he went back to South America for training, and returned to work in Panama a few years later. Roberto's rich experience and enthusiasm are reflected in his own coffee. In the early years, all the estates were cultivated geisha. Since the beginning of this year, the owner has also begun to try many different tree species and treatments, such as Kaduai washed in water and Kaduai in the sun.

The coffee farm was originally Roberto's retirement plan for his family, but his insistence on the quality of coffee won him the first prize in the best Best of Panama washing brothel category in 2013. Roberto himself is very fond of Triathlon's sports, and he named this sportsmanship for the batch as Ironman, in which the portion of Geisha produced a total of 1700 pounds, of which 150 pounds were selected to participate in the competition, and the price per pound closed at a sky-high price of US $160.25, an all-time high, which translates to about NT $11500 per kilogram of raw beans. Auromar also won the 10th and 12th place in the best Best of Panama brothel group in 2014 and 2015 respectively, with a gold price of more than US $30 (both more than NT $2500), indicating its extraordinary strength.

Aurora Manor has numerous award records, the most noteworthy of which is that in September 2014, the Iron Man / Panama Ironman Camilina Geisha of Aurora Manor was rated as 97 by Coffee Review, which ranked first in the annual score, named after the beloved granddaughter of the owner of the manor. The coffee is full of mango, citrus, guava, strong floral aroma, passion fruit, clove, lily, rich and smooth acid, similar to syrup and lively taste, and the colorful flavor is very long-lasting.
