Planting history of Copan rainforest in Saint Isabel Manor, Guatemala? What are the characteristics?

The St. Isabel Manor won COE in Guatemala in 2012 and won the championship in the local competition in the Koban Rainforest this year (2016). This manor is located in St. Christaban? The Koban area of San Cristobal Verapaz is surrounded by majestic peaks, rainforests and beautiful floral vegetation. St. Isabel's Manor has grown coffee since 1875, the same year as President of Guatemala.

The manor is given to the present owner, the Valdes family. The estate attaches great importance to the operation of the environmental ecosystem, with about 100 hectares of reforested areas, planting plants such as pine and cypress that can help preserve water sources. In addition, the environment here has species diversity, and the peel of coffee fruit is also used as fertilizer for the soil, allowing species in the region to continue and give birth to more new life.

At St. Isabel Manor, the coffee fruit is mainly picked by local women to pick the ripe cherry berries. The peel and pulp mill has been able to save water more than in the past, and the water will also be recycled. Coffee is treated by partial fermentation and secondary infiltration to achieve a more consistent quality, drying through the sun, greenhouse or Guardiola dryer.
