Costa Rica SHB Shangri-La Manor Honey treatment Terra Bella Villa Sarchi Honey

Shangri-La Manor is located in the western valley of Costa Rica, about 35 kilometers from the capital San Jose. The western valley is one of the most important coffee producing areas in Costa Rica, because the climatic conditions here are very suitable for coffee growth: rich volcanic soil, high altitude, moderate and evenly distributed rainfall, and cool temperature

It is the coffee growing area with the highest yield and the least leaf disease in Costa Rica. The Western Valley has created many COE award winning estates. Shangri-La Manor, run by Mr Carlos Batalla, a woodworking engineer, was founded in 2008 as a relatively young farm in the western valley, and their first harvest was in 2012. He had never been exposed to coffee cultivation before he bought the estate and was only committed to growing his own construction company. Carlos, who has been on track over the past few years, focusing on growing high-quality coffee, has become a professional and enthusiastic farmer.

Villa Sarchi, a bourbon mutant, was found in the town of Sarchi in the western valley of Costa Rica. It is a natural mutant with branches at an angle of 45 degrees and a mixture of bronze and turquoise leaves. Villa Sarchi can be planted at both high and low altitudes, but the yield and quality are better at high elevations. Villa Sarchi has elegant acid value, fruit tonality, and good sweetness.
