Panamanian Pokuit organic certification | Mount Chili Baru Los Lajones Manor washes Rose Summer Flavor?

Los Lajones Manor is located on the east side of Mount Baru, directly above the town of Bokuidi. Bokuidi is a small town 1200 meters above sea level, in Panama's westernmost province of Chiriqu í Province, the famous river Caldera flows slowly through the outskirts of the town by the Baru volcano. The mild climate, fertile young volcanic soil, appropriate rainfall and changeable micro-climate make the mountains around Bokui known as the "promised land of coffee".

The Baru volcano is not only the highest mountain in Panama, the sediments created by early volcanic activity and eruption bring a large amount of fertile soil, which is rich in organic matter, especially rich in phosphorus and sulfur mixed with clay, coupled with unique climate patterns, the region forms an environment suitable for the growth of high-quality coffee, dense forests and many species cause biodiversity. Los Lajones is located on the north side of the old lava flowing from the main crater of Balu, just opposite the highest block of Geisha planted in the Jade Manor. When I visited Los Lajones this year, I came across the second wave of flowering, beautiful mountain scenery and the fragrance of flowers. Sometimes I remembered that the scent of flowers still seemed to linger:

Graciano often proudly said: I am not only the first Panamanian manor to get organic certification, but also the first coffee farm that does not wash beans at all.

He believes that the traditional washing method not only seriously consumes water resources, is not environmentally friendly, but also is not as sweet as honey treatment. In Los Lajones Manor, only ripe cherries and fruits are harvested without using a drop of water to remove the peel and directly place the fruit on the African scaffolding made of bamboo branches and woven netting. This drying mode is not only uniform, fast, cleaner flavor and softer and more acidic. In particular, the good ventilation and sufficient sunshine of the manor are the driving factors for the success of honey treatment and sunbathing in the manor.

For good sun-cured beans, it is difficult to plant ripe coffee fruits and sun-drying control tubes. the following picture shows the first day of harvesting coffee fruits. You can see that all the ripe coffee cherries are selected. After three days, the color gradually deepens and the fruit shrinks. Dehydration, drying and fruit body fermentation change gradually with temperature, humidity, and the degree of turning, which affect the final flavor:

A variety of sweetness, rich sweetness without over-ripe acid, changeable, complex and elegant flavor, is the reason for Osher's purchase of Los Lajones sun series beans.
