Panamanian Coffee Manor-Alida Manor (Elida) is located in the Pokuit producing area (Boquete) of Chiriqui, the western border province of Panama. The most famous landmark and tourist attraction of the province is the Baru volcano, which is 3300 meters above sea level. Baru volcano is one of the highest volcanoes in Central America, with a total area of about 14000 hectares. It can be divided into seven different microclimate zones according to altitude. The volcano is inhabited by many rare plants, birds and mammals, so it is protected by national parks and forbids hunting and man-made development and destruction. The Pokuit producing area is located on the east side of the Baru volcano, a valley flowing by lava, next to the Vulcan Valley (Volcan Valley), another well-known coffee producing area in Panama. Poquet has always been the most high-profile coffee producing area in Panama. There are many world-famous estates in the area-Emerald Manor (Esmeralda), Hartman of the Best of Panama Victory Army, Mama Cata, Kotowa and Santa Teresa. Alida Manor itself is also one of the heavyweight star estates in Pokuit, and has won Best of Panama awards for the last five years, second only to Jade Manor (Esmeralda).

Elida, the Panamanian coffee estate owned by the Lamastus family, began to grow coffee in 1918. In addition to growing coffee in the garden, there is now another El Burro estate in addition to Elida, and the two estates can enter the bidding for a total of seven beans in 2015. In addition to coffee, many native tree species have also been planted, which not only shade the coffee, but also protect the ecology of the wild. The family treats coffee trees with artificial fertilization and refuses to use environmentally damaging herbicides and pesticides. In addition to Kaduai, Tibica and Bourbon, the current coffee trees also began to grow geisha a few years ago. Even though there are many varieties of coffee in the manor, Kaduai is still used to participate in the Best of Panama competition, and the achievements are repeated, which shows the excellent geographical environment and processing technology of the manor. Alida Manor itself is a star estate in the Poquet region and is one of the two highest coffee estates in Panama (the other estate with such elevations should be Carmen in the Vulcan Valley). The estate covers a total area of 65 hectares, more than half of which are located in Baru Volcano National Park, of which only 30 hectares grow coffee and 35 hectares are virgin forests. Due to its high altitude, years of low temperature delayed the ripening of coffee berries, but also because it was located near the volcano, the volcanic soil provided rich nutrients for the cultivation of coffee, so that the manor coffee beans could achieve good results in the competition.

This batch of Alida manor honey-treated coffee has the purest original flavor. Because of the unique coffee processing technology of Alida Manor, this batch of coffee is different from the previous washing treatment and is treated with honey. Extracted from high-altitude Kaduai coffee beans with strong humidity, honey treatment is more appropriate than Alida Manor's more famous washing treatment. Flavor features: you can feel the sweet passion fruit and wine aroma after grinding. On the palate, you can feel the strong aromas of wine, passion fruit, orange peel and bergamot, with aromas of blackberries, cocoa and raisins.
