Eincht Manor is located in the stunning coffee producing area of Vivette Nanguo, with steep sharp-toothed peaks and narrow valleys, receiving warm hot wind from the neighboring Mexican lowland valley, the hot air warms the hillside, so that coffee can grow at such a high altitude. Maragogype varieties of raw beans are huge, commonly known as elephant beans, is the best coffee in Nicaragua, due to low production, the producing area is not profitable enough. The standard variety will be replaced gradually, and the Maragogype variety will disappear. It tastes sweet and sour with balanced orange fruit, rich berry aromas, sweet and warm texture. This is usually impossible at such a northern latitude. Eincht Manor has quickly become a world legend for its coffee quality, winning a total of 16 awards in Cup Of Excellence competitions in 11 years, far more than any other estate in the world. Every year the Aguirre family continues to improve the production quality of their estate. They pay attention to all the details of the whole process, including floating, fermentation, soaking, drying, proper storage, and their own drying plants.

Each Nativo batch is set in a fermentation tank for 36 to 48 hours, and then moved to the terrace to dry for about seven days or the equivalent of 70 hours of sun exposure. After a rest of at least 45 days, professional cup surveyors take samples from them to drink and evaluate. The NATIVO selection comes from the oldest coffee plantation in Eincht Manor, which is a mixture of Bourbon, Caturra and Catuai, which are over 40 years old. The elegant style, classic varieties and the careful care of the three generations of the manor give this batch as delicate as red wine, rich layers and sweet fruit-like coffee flavor.

How to wash the elephant beans? (Wet process/Washed method)

The technology of washing was invented by the Dutch in the 18th century. Due to the frequent rain and high humidity in some countries, it is impossible to implement the solarization method at all, so although the process is relatively cumbersome, it is the most widely used treatment method at present. The biggest difference from the sun method is the use of fermentation to remove the pectin layer.

Washing method-elephant bean treatment process

Coffee beans-washed and insolated

The first three steps are the same as the sun treatment (1. Harvest ripe coffee fruit 2. Preliminary removal of impurities and inferior beans 3. Screen floating beans)

4. Remove the peel and pulp: the selected good coffee fruit is put into the pulp sieving machine to remove the exocarp and pulp and leave seeds (coffee beans).

5. Pectin removal by fermentation: put the coffee seeds with a layer of mucous membrane (pectin) in the fermentation tank and use biological treatment to dissolve the pectin by fermentation bacteria.

6. Washing to remove impurities: since the fermentation bacteria will remain on the coffee beans, the beans need to be sent to the washing pool for a second screening (defective beans will float on the surface). This step will consume a lot of clean water in order to clean it up.

7. Coffee bean drying: coffee fruit is usually dried by machine (or sun drying) so that the moisture content is reduced to 10 Murray 14%.

8. Remove endocarp and silver skin: finally, use a sheller to remove the remaining endocarp and silver skin, that is, complete the processing, you can carry out the packaging and transportation of raw beans!

Washing method-advantages and disadvantages

Advantages: coffee beans have less impurities and complete appearance, and because the pulp in the coffee fruit has been removed from the very beginning, there is no need to worry about mildew, and the overall quality is more stable.

Disadvantages: the process of washing is complex and tedious, and requires a lot of water, so the cost is relatively higher than the sun method, and it is less used in areas where water resources are scarce.
