Nicaraguan Coffee-Alsmu Orchid Manor

The Orchid Manor is well maintained and harmoniously integrated with the local natural environment. The farm is 80% mountainous, and farmer Luo Erjie combined Kafe planting with his eco-tourism company in Matagale, planning a large enough area for camping and hiking, which was also the original idea. However, the fine caffeine grown here is also getting more and more attention. Alger came to Galagua in the early years to work on water conservancy projects. Like many people, he fell in love with Nicaragua 7 and settled here. He now runs an eco-tourism company in Matagalpa and lives with his wife on the tranquil hills of Alain Hues. At first, growing Kafe on these four hectares of land was one of his interests, and it was not until this year that Kafe began to have a good harvest. Fortunately, when we measured this caffeine, we were deeply attracted by its excellent taste.

Nicaraguan coffee is mainly produced in the central and northern regions, of which the coffee beans produced in Jinotega are the products of natural agricultural methods at an altitude of 1200 meters, characterized by shade planting, while coffee beans are washed and dried in the sun.

Generally speaking, Nicaraguan coffee is less distinctive, so Nicaraguan beans are often used as mixed coffee or instant coffee. However, high-quality Nicaraguan beans, such as Maragogipe, are highly rated. Its coffee beans are very large, like beans, because the taste is more balanced, unlike the distinct acidity of other Central American coffee, with a clear taste and excellent aroma. This round and soft texture also makes it a unique show in Guatemalan coffee beans, loved by many people.

The orchid Nicaraguan top manor beans are coffee beans from a single manor in the Genotega district of Nicaragua at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level, shaded by natural farming methods and planted with microbial probiotics to develop their own special treatment, which is the highest SHG (Strictly High Grown) grade alpine hard beans among 100% Arabica beans.

What's the difference between 'manor beans' and 'producing area beans'? The "E" small farmers in Hualien recently did a little research, such as Hualien, and helped me make up for it this time. Here are the experiences that Ruyi finally digested. Sigh again, there is no limit to learning-for example, the more you know, the more you feel ignorant about coffee.

Regional beans are the product of a grading system in major coffee producing areas, where coffee farmers hand over beans to local coffee exchanges, which are usually run by the government. When they receive coffee beans, they will first mix them, and then grade and sell them according to their appearance and size, so they are also called "producing area graded beans".

On the other hand, 'manor beans' are coffee beans produced by a single coffee farm or by a cooperative made up of several coffee farmers (a bit like a production and marketing class in Taiwan).

The characteristic of 'Manor beans' is that the quality of coffee beans can be maintained at a better level. Moreover, the coffee beans of different manors show their unique flavor because of the different climatic conditions, soil environment, planting methods and raw bean treatment procedures. The most important thing is that we can trace the information history of the producers, and we can know which manor or cooperative we are drinking this cup of coffee from. We can also know the variety of coffee, the geographical environment of planting, and the way it is handled. Wait. And because each batch of coffee grows in the same environment and treated in the same way, the flavor and quality of garden-grade coffee is the same as that of ordinary coffee beans, but the biggest problem is that it does not produce much and may not be available all the year round.

"E" small farmers also taught me another lesson about what is meant by natural farming and how it is different from the so-called organic and non-toxic planting.

Organic agriculture has been ramming up in China recently. Most people think that buying agricultural products with a 'organic certification' label will mean OK. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. Organic farming uses both fertilizers and pesticides, but it also requires organically certified fertilizers and pesticides, and most certified organic fertilizers actually add a certain percentage of mixed fertilizers. In addition, because whether "organic" is the result theory, certification organizations cannot keep an eye on farmers at any time, so they can only adopt testing methods. We all know that pesticides have an effective period, and as long as there are no pesticide residues in the test results, they can be considered safe. I believe we all understand whether it is really organic, but it depends on the conscience of farmers and the carefulness of consumers.

According to the understanding of "E" small farmers, most organic farmers in Taiwan hope to sell their agricultural products at a better price under the banner of "organic." instead of having a thorough understanding of the threat to consumers' health caused by the damage to the ecological environment caused by traditional habitual farming methods, even if they choose organic farming methods, once they find organic high costs and low harvests, they often immediately return to traditional agricultural laws.

Non-toxic agricultural methods generally only emphasize the use of pesticides, but do not exclude chemical fertilizers, so the harm to the soil and the environment is inevitable.

Therefore, the natural farming method adopted by the top orchid Nicaraguan manor beans combined with microbial probiotic cultivation is the natural agricultural method most respected by "E". The so-called natural farming method is to cultivate crops in a way that does not use market fertilizers or pesticides and tries to cultivate crops in a way that organisms are mutually exclusive.
