Jadeite Manor

The history of coffee cultivation at the Emerald Manor dates back to 1964, when Rudolph Peterson, an American banker, retired, moved to Panama and bought the emerald estate in Pokuit, which began as a dairy industry. Then his son Price resigned as a doctor to help his father run the farm, introduced Kaddura and Kaduai coffee beans in 1987, set up a washing plant in 1994, and has had its own coffee processing plant ever since.

The discovery of Rosa coffee was only an accident, because the Rosa coffee tree was supposed to have low yield and low economic benefits at that time, so it was used by the former landowner as a windbreak tree to protect Kadulakaduai coffee in other high-yielding areas.

It was under this background that the workers who picked the coffee fruit picked the rose summer coffee fruit as well. As a result, the owners found this coffee bean very special and rich in citrus flowers during the cup test, so they found the rose summer coffee tree and began to pay attention to it. So in 2004, the Emerald Manor took the rose summer to the competition alone, and became popular in the BOP competition. Since then, it has established the status of Jadeite Manor in the boutique coffee industry.

The above description of Qianjie Coffee shows that the Jadeite Manor mainly grows coffee trees of Kaddura and Kaduai varieties, so up to now, according to the cup test performance and the varieties and plots planted, the Jadeite Manor is divided into five brands. Rose summer variety has three brands: jadeite special selection, private collection and Rosa 1500, while Kaddura, Kaduai variety has two brands: Diamond Hill and Pamela.

Kaddura, characteristics of Kaduai Coffee varieties

According to Qianjie Coffee, Kaddura and Kaduai varieties are now widely planted in Latin America, because its pest resistance is better than tin pickup, so it is also widely planted in Panamanian coffee producing areas, while Kaddura is a variety of bourbon. It was found in Brazil in 1937 that its production capacity and disease resistance are better than bourbon, and the trees are shorter, easy to harvest, adaptable and do not need shade trees. Suitable for planting in the high altitude area from 700m to 1700 m, the altitude adaptability is very strong, but the higher the altitude, the better the flavor, and the production capacity is relatively reduced.

The Kaduai variety is a hybrid developed in 1949. It is an artificial cross between Huang Kadura (Arabica subspecies) and New World (Robusta subspecies). It was originally named "Hmur2077". Kaduai has a good ability to resist disasters, especially wind and rain. Because the plant is small, it can be planted at twice the density, and the plant is small, so it is relatively easy to treat diseases and insect pests. Kaduai is strong and low in height, but is vulnerable to leaf rust.

Panamanian coffee producing area

Secondly, Qianjie Coffee often mentions that the factors that affect a coffee bean are coffee producing area, variety and treatment. The above Qianjie Coffee mentioned the variety of Diamond Hill coffee beans in Jade Manor. Then Qianjie Coffee will come to popular science to find out the characteristics of Panamanian Pokuit coffee producing area.

There are four main coffee producing areas in Panama: Poquet, Walken, Santa Clara and Kendra. Among them, the Emerald Manor is located in Pokuit, the most famous coffee producing area in Panama.

Pokuit coffee producing area

Planted at 1400-1900m above sea level, Pokuit is a small town in the Chiriki province of Panama, located near the border between Panama and Costa Rica, close to the famous Baru volcano, scenic and rich soil. Climate and soil are very suitable for producing quality coffee.

And according to Qianjie Coffee, it is known that there are many excellent estates in the Poquet producing area, except the Emerald Manor, Alida Manor, Catova Duncan Manor and so on all produce high quality boutique coffee.

This is not only due to the mild climatic conditions in the Poquet region of Panama and the fertile volcanic ash soil of the Baru volcanic land. Another important factor is the changeable microclimate in the Poquet Heights of Panama. This is the environment of Panama from east to west, which allows the cold air to converge between 1200 meters and 2000 meters above sea level through the Central Mountains. The fog, rain and changeable winds in the mountains have caused a variety of microclimates in the Pokuit region, making it temperature. Rainfall is very suitable for the growth of plants, so the coffee trees planted here grow very well.

Panamanian Emerald Manor Coffee producing area

Secondly, the jadeite manor is a large manor, and the front street coffee also mentioned above that the jadeite manor is divided into coffee grades according to factors such as the elevation of the plot, so the jadeite manor is very fine on the coffee bean planting plot. there are mainly three plots: Haramillo, Cannes Vidis, veil; each plot will be fine to small plots.

Jaramillo: the annual rainfall is 4000ml, the average temperature in daytime is 19-25 ℃, the average temperature at night is 11-15 ℃, and the average altitude is 1600-1700m. The Haramiyo site is subdivided into five small plots: Mario (Mario), Noria (Ferris wheel), Reina (queen), Bosque (forest) and Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires).

Canas Verdes: the annual rainfall is 3500ml, the average temperature during the day is 16-23 ℃, the average temperature at night is 10-15 ℃, the average altitude is 1600-1800m. Cannes consists of nine small plots: Lino (flax), Coronado (coronation), Fundador (founder), Le ó n (Leon), Montaa (peak), Trapiche (sugar), Chinta (urn), Cabaa (cabin) and Tumaco (Tumako).

Veil (El Velo): this plot is the latest purchase of Jadeite Manor, with an average elevation of 1700-1900m. In addition to planting Rosa and Kaduai, the site also has a small number of other exotic species, such as Laurina, Pakamara, Mocha and SL28. The veil is divided into seven small plots, namely: Guabo, Port ó n (Portal), Durazno (Peach), Higuer ó n (fig tree), Higo (fig), Buena Vista (Buena Vista) and guila (Eagle).

Diamond Hill series

The Emerald Manor Diamond Hill series of Kadulakaduai coffee varieties are planted in Kanas Vidis and Haramiyo, and the overall coffee cultivation is distributed at 1400 to 1700 meters above sea level. At the same time, Qianjie understands Diamond Hill brand coffee with superior environment certification of Rainforest Alliance. You know, it's not that easy to get this certification. For example, the Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee in the front street coffee shop comes from the only Rainforest Alliance certified Clifford estate in Jamaica.

Treatment of Diamond Hill Coffee beans in Jadeite Manor

This diamond bean purchased from Qianjie Coffee is tanned. Therefore, this coffee bean will also have a strong aroma and a sense of fermentation in terms of flavor.

Coffee farmers in the sun treatment process, the harvest of coffee fruit will be sent directly to the courtyard to dry. The coffee fruit dries slowly, the coffee beans are still inside, and the coffee beans are full of fruit and aroma. Depending on the weather and the composition of the site, the coffee fruit will be dried on the concrete platform for 3 to 5 days (8 hours a day).

When the coffee fruit is dried to a certain extent, it is then put into a Guardiola dryer (Guardiola drier) and rotated for 72 hours to complete the drying process and prevent fermentation. When the drying is finished, the coffee fruit will be mechanically removed from the skin, pulp and other parts. Qianjie Coffee believes that sun treatment can add sweetness to coffee beans and the flavor of ripe red berries.
