Vescaya Manor, Guatemala (Guatemala Vizcaya)

Introduction to Vescaya Manor

Vescaya Coffee Manor is located in the earliest production area of Guatemala and has been famous for its high quality coffee for two hundred years. The coffee at Wiskaya Manor grows along a ridge from 1300 to 1800 meters above sea level. The temperature is 21 to 27 degrees. It is affected by Pacific sea breeze and moisture. The relative humidity is 70-80%, and the rainfall is 4000-5000 mm. It has the highest rainfall of the eight producing areas in Guatemala. The ash provided by Santiaguito, a nearby active volcano, makes its soil more fertile. Due to climatic conditions and unexpected rainfall, most estates have their own washing plants, and then the coffee is half-dried in the yard and then dried at a low temperature.

The unique water washing, fermentation, sun drying and low temperature drying treatment of Wiskaya Manor

In fact, there are not many raw Guatemalan coffee beans in the market. This Guatemala Vizcaya Manor in Vescaya, Guatemala, is washed and fermented in the sun and then dried at a low temperature. It has a special aroma of ripe fruit and is so intriguing that the uncle can't help writing an introduction for her. Friends who have recently drunk this coffee bean are also welcome to share your feelings.

Let's take a look at raw beans first. According to the label on the package, there are bourbon, Kaddura and Kaduai (Bourbon, Caturra and Catuai) mixed together, so it is understandable that the size and shape of the particles do not look so uniform. The strange thing is that the color of raw beans is strange. Most of the colors of raw beans show the colors of normal sun and honey treatment, and they also smell sweet and fermented, but about 5% of them are fresh green like water washing. You can clearly see the difference between the two.

Leaving aside the color of raw beans, the flavor after shallow baking is still quite charming. The dry aroma after grinding is as sweet as white grapes, but the wet fragrance has a fermented sense of increased flavor. I am a little worried when I smell this flavor. but fortunately, after the entrance is a mild acidity, clean and thick texture, lychee, pineapple, apricot-like ripe fruit flavor filled the whole mouth! It makes people want to drink again and again.
