The annual rainfall is about 3,200 mm, and the altitude is 1,800--1,850 meters.

Coffee is harvested from December to March of the next year. The manor regularly invites the local indigenous Nobes to help harvest. The harvested coffee berries are transported to the processing plant on the same day for post-processing. The residues of post-processing, such as peel and pectin, will be recycled into compost to nourish the coffee tree, avoiding pollution and effectively conserving water resources and the natural environment. After the shell bean Parchment is dried to a certain moisture content by the sun, it is finally dried by a dryer called Guardiola. Evenly dried shelled beans are packaged in units of 100 pounds, and batch information is recorded in detail. The raw beans are stored in the warehouse for at least 60 days to stabilize the quality of the raw beans before shipment according to customer demand. The raw beans are screened before shipment. The raw beans are packaged for export only if the size is above 17 mesh (7 mm wide) and the density is sufficient.
