Costa Rican Coffee Manor-Sonora Manor is located in the central valley of Costa Rica at the foot of the world-famous Boas volcano. The estate covers an area of 100 hectares, of which 55 hectares are coffee growing areas, 35 hectares are virgin forest reserves, and the remaining 10 hectares are sugar cane growing areas with an average elevation of 1200 meters above sea level.

The estate's small coffee processing plant is built near a 150-year-old sugar processing plant near the heartland, which is well preserved and functioning. All the machines at the coffee processing station operate in the most efficient manner, using the energy recovery system within the manor.

The coffee treatment of Sonora Manor is basically only honey treatment and sun treatment. They have rich experience in all kinds of honey treatment and sun treatment, and these two methods require more manpower and energy than traditional washing treatment. But when you taste the results in the cup, such efforts are meaningful. By interestingly trying different processing techniques, we can taste coffee with clearer sweetness and tropical fruit flavor.

Another important advantage is that a lot of water can be saved through honey treatment and sun treatment. Honey-treated coffee can save nearly 12 litres of water per pound during coffee processing, while sun-treated coffee does not need any water.

The Costa Rican coffee Villalobos variety was discovered by people at Torres Manor in the wild where they were grown. In fact, it is a dwarf variety of the Typica variety, dating back to the 1600s, brought to Indonesia by the Dutch and then spread around the world, and is now widely cultivated in Costa Rica. This variety of coffee has a strong floral aroma and soft sweet and sour, and it also has a special drupe flavor, such as apricot, peach, red berry, black brine.

In addition, these two coffees are relatively soft coffee beans. In particular, although the elevation of Honduras is higher than that of Costa Rica and it is still washed, it is actually softer than this suntan coffee in Costa Rica.

Soft, firepower needs to be given gently.
