Mr. Li and the Coffee Tree

In order to grow coffee, Li Gaoming worked hard to select a site on Alishan, taking into account height and sunshine.

Also consider the direction of the wind and what it was before.

In the end, he chose two plots of land in the area of Guding.

More than a piece per piece, sitting northwest to southeast, located on the sunny side

Moderate sunshine in this direction, no longer need to be interspersed with betel nut tree shade, can reduce the occurrence of rust.

Mr. Li spent time, money and effort to make his estate have considerable achievements.

Although it was damaged by the wind the year before last, the output of green beans last year was still two tons.

And the quality finally reached his personal standard of excellence.

It was only then that they decided to send the coffee beans abroad for the competition.

"in the past few years, I have also come into contact with many people who grow coffee in Taiwan.

I do this in the hope of throwing a brick to attract jade. I hope that everyone will not be trapped in the small frame of Taiwan and play their own games. "

Li Gaoming said that he did not expect to get such a result in the first year.

Although he feels from the bottom of his heart that his coffee certainly has such strength.

After reading the story of Tropical Dance Manor, does it also make your blood boil?

The feeling of autumn is strong--

Manor beans, coffee, beans list is also changing season.

In 2012, the list of new beans and the introduction of new beans will be introduced one after another.

Except for No.7 beans.

By the way. No.1 / No.2 / No.4 will also be on the shelves for new manor beans.

In the SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America, American Fine Coffee Association) tournament, the score is more than 80 points to be called boutique coffee (Specialty Coffee), and there are multiple records to indicate that the quality is stable.

Taiwan's tropical dance boutique coffee has scored above this level since it participated in the SCAA competition. After entering the world's top 11 with a score of 83.5 in 2009, the entry score in 2010 was still 81.95 after the 1988 storm, and in 2012, the score surpassed that of 2009: 85.67, individuals have always wanted to go to their manor for apprenticeship. Recently, I finally have the honor to go up to the mountain to find out, of course, we should seize the opportunity to record it.

The estate of Tropical Dance Fine Coffee is located in Alishan, Chiayi, and currently has three districts: Lot A, Lot B and Lot C, covering an area of nearly 2.5ha. Area An is at the top of the gap, while area B and area C are at the faucet, and both are located at an altitude of about 1200 meters.

Incidentally, the scores of their manor participating in the SCAA competition in 2012 are attached:

Sample # 26 (Lot A): 84 (ranked 41st in the first round)

Sample # 27 (Lot B): 84.50 (ranked 30th in the first round)

Sample # 28 (Lot C): 85.67 (ranked 12th in the final round)

The gap top is about 1250 meters above sea level. Because of the gap between Gongding Mountain and Eryanping Mountain, a gap has been formed between the two hills, so the area at the top of the mountain is named after the gap top.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance to area An of the manor, everyone after seeing the coffee tree was so excited that we couldn't help but take a closer look.

Besides Mr. Li Gaoming, chairman of Tropical Dance Music Manor, and Mr. Xu Hengde, manager of Tropical Dance Music Manor, Mr. Han Huaizong, author of boutique coffee, Mr. Han Songling, general manager of push culture, and Mr. Wu Renlin, director of United Daily News, also visited the manor.

Weeding manually and harvesting by hand.

The best ecological indicator of pesticide-free is to see if there are dense spiders like this.

Accidentally encounter cobwebs, can also feel very elastic!

From the entrance up, it is the main planting area in area A.

All the varieties in area An are Tibica.

There are all kinds of beautiful wild plants next to the coffee tree.

The manor manager is explaining the planting situation.

Fruitful fruit.

Neat coffee bushes, planting distance and maintenance are planned.

Halfway through the visit, the sharp-eyed Mr. Han found two Catimor plants.

(Dong Li said, "I am a technology farmer!" )

Go on up and visit the coffee trees at the top of the slope in area A.

Terraced planting can be clearly seen from top to bottom.

Because the top of the slope is close to the forest, the fruit of the coffee tree here is often eaten by a variety of wild animals. For example, this pile is left behind by squirrels after eating the flesh and throwing it into a pile.

Animals basically only pick good fruit to eat, it can be said that eating this is the best quality assurance.

After harvest, bag the coffee fruit and prepare it to be sent to the next station to remove the peel.

After visiting area A, everyone set off for area B.

Before entering the park, the beans on both sides of the road were very beautiful.

Does the entrance to area B feel like entering a secret place?

Area B respectively planted Kaddura and Tibica, unlike area An is dominated by Tibica.

Terraced planting is the same.

And then move to area C. Zone B and area C are not far away and will be there in a few minutes.

Similarly, from the entrance, there are coffee trees on both sides.

Kaddura is the main variety in region C.

It's also terraced planting.

Even fertilizers use organic matter fertilizers developed by themselves.

Dong Li is checking the beans. He seems to feel good.

It's time to appreciate the beans again.

At the end of the trip, before leaving, I took a poster of them winning the prize at that time, which can be said to be a proof of the Light of Taiwan.

Although I was tired from this trip up the mountain, I was overjoyed after the broadening of the news. Manors like industrial management, coupled with careful planting techniques, may be the reason why they can win the honor and stable quality of the top 11 in the world.
