Because they like drinking coffee and are interested in agriculture, they bought a coffee farm; because they grow good coffee in Nicaragua, they introduce good coffee to Taiwan. The story of Anjing Manor Coffee Farm sounds incredible. Chen Ruoyu and Dr. Yang Ziqing used Taiwan's agricultural biotechnology to grow delicious and healthy coffee trees in Nicaragua and roast delicious coffee beans in Taiwan.

The "Anjing Manor Coffee Farm" in the Jinotega producing area of Nicaragua, 1200 meters above sea level in Central America, is the pride of the Taiwanese. Dr. Yang Ziqing, who has practiced medicine in the United States for 15 years, and Aunt Chen Ruoyu, who originally worked as an intellectual and financial consultant in the law firm, wrote the legend of Taiwanese planting coffee trees and building coffee farms in Nicaragua.

Throw away 500000 unqualified coffee seedlings

The health of the soil is the basis of plant growth. Angel Manor Coffee Farm uses natural nutrients developed and produced by the head office's biological laboratory to protect soil health and solve annoying planting problems such as underground nematodes. this secret weapon has also become the key to making coffee trees have natural disease resistance in Angel Manor, each coffee tree has sparkling leaves, dazzling green, showing a healthy and healthy atmosphere.

Coffee likes the "micro-climate" with clouds, fog and half-day sunshine. With clouds floating in the sky and the shade of towering trees, coupled with the irrigation of high-altitude terrain and mountain springs, the coffee at Anjing Manor "grows up with a parasol." so I'm in a particularly good mood, so I'm particularly healthy. Chen Ruoyu humorously described the growing environment of coffee trees in Anjing Manor.

Cultivating healthy coffee seedlings is the key to a successful harvest. "in 2007, we cultivated 700000 seedlings, which were checked and selected by experts. As long as they were stained with mold, poor development, or poor root order, all the seedlings were discarded. Only 220000 seedlings were left that year. Because there are healthy roots and seedlings, the future will be a cash cow! " Chen Ruoyu joyfully says that these lucky seedlings will have to wait three or four years before they can have a harvest, and if they don't really like coffee, it will be hard to get back their huge investment.

Well-known coffee planting experience at home and abroad

The experience of growing coffee trees on Anjing Manor Coffee Farm is famous at home and abroad. In 2011, Chen Ruoyu was invited to give a speech at the "Hainan Coffee Forum" where experts from major coffee producing areas around the world gathered. She introduced the way of raising soil and the process of raising seedlings in Anjing Manor with pictures and texts. People present admire such basic work very much. Anjing also cleverly uses the shrimp and crab shells of Nicaragua's rich marine resources to raise biological bacteria. Local coffee farmers think Anjing Manor must be crazy. What are these seafood shells for?

"they don't know that shrimp and crab shells contain chitin and are rich in protein, which can be used to cultivate bacteria and help reduce the morbidity of coffee trees." With their professional agricultural biotechnology and excellent ecological conditions in Central America, Chen Ruoyu and his nephew Dr. Yang Ziqing have created a new situation for Taiwanese to grow coffee in Central America.

What is more rare is that in addition to planting coffee trees, growing vegetables, corn and bananas, raising chickens and laying eggs, it is almost a self-sufficient farm. In 2011, more churches were built for farmers and medical centers were set up to take care of farm workers and families, and to implement corporate social responsibility. The warm and warm nature of Taiwanese also warms farmers in Nicaragua.

High-quality coffee, elegant and mellow

Anjing Manor coffee beans are all of SHG grade (Strictly High Grown extremely Highland cultivation), with the Central American coffee bean temperament elegant warm sweet characteristics. Every year, the winners of domestic and foreign competitions are designated as competition beans. Among them, Anjing Manor's high-altitude elephant bean MARABELLA ™and special elephant bean PACABELLA ™taste rich, bright and fresh, smooth and meticulous into the throat, with a hint of flowers and fruit, and a drupe flavor after cooling, which is the best of the same variety.

Another densely treated Gaoshan bean retains rich and sweet ripe fruit. "the honey treatment process requires special care to avoid mold infection and other problems." Chen Ruoyu said. In addition, an Jing also pioneered the "Biological enzyme Post-processing method" (Enzyme Process) through experimental research and development, in which coffee beans can be dried quickly without washing, increase their sweet flavor, protect water resources, and strictly implement the environmental responsibility of protecting the earth. Continuous improvement is the best portrayal of an Jing.

Chen Ruoyu, who is the founding director of the Taipei Fine Coffee Business Development Association, has devoted himself to promoting the concept and market of healthy and refined coffee in recent years. Continue to provide a platform for coffee lovers and coffee makers to communicate and discuss with coffee industry through lectures, competitions and selection of quality cafes.
