Costa Rican Coffee Manor: Sonora Manor (Hacienda Sonora)

Sonora Manor (Hacienda Sonora) is a century-old manor run by Alberto Guardia and Diego Guardia. Sonora Manor is located in the western valley of Costa Rica (actually very close to the central valley, and part of the farmland also extends into the central valley). The operation of the manor pays special attention to environmental protection. Of the 100 hectares of land, 35 hectares are still reserved as virgin forests and 20 hectares are planted with sugar cane. What is even more surprising is that all the electricity used in the manor comes from the hydroelectric equipment in the manor, and the excess electricity will be provided free of charge to the employees working in the manor, and the whole manor is like a small community. the manor provides salary, free accommodation, and health and medical services.

Sonora Manor can be said to be the forerunner of varieties and treatments in Costa Rica, and the combination of varieties and treatments produced every year can be said to be a must for baked beans in Europe and the United States. Vera Saatchi, for example, scored a high score of 95 on Coffee Review in 2016 and 94 on honey, which was not easy to score. Its sun-treated product line is famous in the market for its juicy, wine-scented, rich ripe fruit and flower aromas while retaining a clean sun flavor, while honey treatment has micro features in addition to all kinds of fruit flavors and the sweetness and rich taste of typical honey treatments.

The coffee cherries produced by Sonora Manor are processed in its own microprocessing plant, and strict ripe fruit screening procedures are carried out when picking, and then each link pays great attention to detail according to different treatment methods. finally, it is necessary to carry out strict manual work to remove defective beans, which is the main reason why the flavor in the cup is so rich while retaining cleanliness.

Costa Rican coffee variety: Vera Saatchi

The variety first discovered in the western valley of Costa Rica in the 1960s is a variety of bourbon, where there is a gift of God, known as the divine coffee bean. Varieties all over the world tend to study new varieties with disease resistance and high yield, and these primitive mutants have been rarely planted. Fortunately, the historic Sonora Manor still retains these ancient varieties.

Sustainable planting

Sonora Manor often uses honey treatment and sun treatment to treat coffee, because the coffee cups treated by these methods are very good in flavor and can save a lot of water for the washing plant. Using honey treatment, you can save more than 3 gallons of water per pound of coffee, and sun treatment does not need any water at all. The energy used by the manor is 100% renewable and is obtained from the manor. The farm uses a special turbine, the Pelton flow machine, to get this green energy from natural rivers. Energy provides electricity for coffee processing plants, as well as free electricity for people who live and work on the estate.
