El Burro's coffee-growing area is at an extremely high altitude of about 1,800 meters, with temperatures low enough to be clouded during dry seasons and virgin forests

As shade, it is cold at night, so it takes four and a half to five and a half years for a coffee tree to start producing fruit (two to three years more mature than coffee trees grown in normal conditions), while

The ripening of coffee cherries can be delayed for about a month, and the development is more complete. Two estates will be eligible for bidding in 2015 with a total of seven beans. Besides coffee,

One of two coffee estates (the other estate at this elevation would be Carmen Estate in Vulcan Valley). The estate covers a total area of 65 hectares, more than half of which are located in Balu Volcano National Park.

Only 30 hectares are planted with coffee, and the remaining 35 hectares are virgin forests. Due to its high altitude, the low temperatures delayed the ripening of coffee berries, but also due to its proximity to volcanoes,

Volcanic soil provides rich nutrients for coffee cultivation, enabling this estate coffee beans to win many competitions. This batch of coffee is Catuai variety, with the simplest original flavor.

Because of the unique coffee processing technology of Elida Manor, this batch of coffee is different from the previous washing treatment, using sun treatment. Coffee beans taken from the Catuai variety at high altitude with

Intense humidity, the most traditional sun treatment is more suitable than the washing treatment for which Elyda Manor is more famous.
