Panamanian coffee production has been greatly reduced! Alida Coffee Manor won the summer double crown of BOP washing / tanning roses for 18 years.

Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Panama's production will be reduced by 50 cents per cent this year.

In Panama and throughout Central America

The dry and wet season transition period from April to May each year

There will be a month of dry and wet alternation in the weather.

It can supply the water needed for coffee trees to bloom.

Without excessive water supply...

But the rainy season came too early last year.

The original dry-wet alternation period disappeared directly.

Continuous heavy rain every day

Flower buds that hide coffee trees in the dry season

Because the tree receives a lot of water.

The whole physiological behavior from reproductive growth (flowering and fruiting)

Directly converted to vegetative growth (long leaves and tender shoots)

So the flower buds are directly converted into leaf buds.

Throughout 2017

The coffee trees are all growing luxuriantly.

But in the end, there are very few berry trees--

The overall yield reduction also depends on the variety and microclimate.

For example, the reduction in production in Kaduai is relatively mild (perhaps 40%).

On the other hand, the production of the geisha has been seriously reduced (70% of the production of the geisha is 90% of the production of the geisha).

In addition, the manor on the right side of the valley (Haramie)

It is more serious than the reduction in production on the left side (Mount Baru).

As a result, the Jade Manor, which is famous for producing first-class geisha,

This year has been particularly seriously affected!

Including the amount of self-sponsored bidding can only be about 20% in previous years.

(there is only one box left per label, compared with six boxes in previous years.)

In the best Panama (BOP) competition this year

The grades are also much lower than those of the others.

But another Alida Coffee Manor celebrating its 100th anniversary this year

Is less affected...

Not only does the output of geisha coffee increase with the growth of coffee trees

Also won the double crown of BOP washing / sunbathing geisha this year.

To celebrate their first centenary.

Set off the most dazzling fireworks!

The lucky thing in misfortune is that

The yield reduction did not come from the weakness of the tree.

But only because there is too little fruit.

So the final berry quality is very good--

So on the whole,

This year, Panamanian coffee will be

A year of low quantity / fine quality / high price

Please be psychologically (and substantially) prepared.
