2013 BOP champion Chiriki Province of Panama | Aurora Manor Finca Auromar Rose Summer, Kaduai flavor?

Panama Auromar, which comes from the remote border of Panama, has a beautiful name aptly named Aurora Manor. It is located in the northwestern province of Chiriqu í, the western valley of Volc á n Bar ú, almost reaching the Santa Clara province of Costa Rica. The manor itself covers an area of 31 hectares, of which 16 hectares are native tropical rain forests at an altitude of about 1700 to 1775 meters, while the remaining 15 hectares are planted with coffee trees at an altitude of about 1485 to 1700 meters. The average planting height of coffee trees is about 1625 meters, and each plant is shaded by tall Hass avocado. The temperature ranges from 16 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius, and the average annual rainfall is about 3500 millimeters. It is the most suitable environment for the production of high-quality coffee beans. During the harvest season, Aurora Manor sends the harvested ripe coffee berries to the nearby Caf é de Eleta S.A. For post-processing, the treatment plant is about 3 kilometers away from the farm, and a modern laboratory is set up for cup test tube and manual screening.

Roberto Brenes, the owner of the estate, is a typical coffee fanatic. His real identity is the CEO of the Panamanian Stock Exchange. In the early years, he obtained an MBA degree from Columbia University in the United States. After returning to China, he went back to South America for training, and returned to work in Panama a few years later. Roberto's rich experience and enthusiasm are reflected in his own coffee. In the early years, all the estates were cultivated geisha. Since the beginning of this year, the owner has also begun to try many different tree species and treatments, such as Kaduai washed in water and Kaduai in the sun.

The coffee farm was originally a retirement plan for Roberto's family, but because of his own insistence on the quality of coffee, he won the title of best Best of Panama washing brothel in 2013. Roberto himself is very fond of Triathlon's sports, and he named this sportsmanship for the batch as Ironman, in which the portion of Geisha produced a total of 1700 pounds, of which 150 pounds were selected to participate in the competition, and the price per pound closed at a sky-high price of US $160.25, an all-time high, which translates to about NT $11500 per kilogram of raw beans. Auromar also won the 10th and 12th place in the best Best of Panama brothel group in 2014 and 2015 respectively, with a gold price of more than US $30 (both more than NT $2500), indicating its extraordinary strength.

Aurora Manor has numerous award records, the most noteworthy of which is that the Iron Man / Panama Ironman Camilina Geisha of Aurora Manor was rated as 97 by Coffee Review in September 2014, ranking first in the annual score, named after the beloved granddaughter of the manor owner. The evaluation flavor indicates that the coffee is full of mango, citrus, guava, strong floral aroma, passion fruit, cloves, lilies, rich and smooth acid, syrup-like and lively taste, and the colorful flavor is very long-lasting.

Qianjie recommended cooking:

Filter cup: Hario V60

Water temperature: 90 degrees

Degree of grinding: small Fuji 3.5

Cooking methods: the ratio of water to powder is 1:15, 15g powder, the first injection of 25g water, 25 s steaming, the second injection to 120g water cut off, waiting for the powder bed water to half and then water injection, slow water injection until 225g water, extraction time about 2:00

Analysis: using three-stage brewing to clarify the flavor of the front, middle and back of the coffee. Because V60 has many ribs and the drainage speed is fast, it can prolong the extraction when the water is cut off.
