Rio Cristal belongs to the Kotowa family. Kotowa has four estates, Duncan and Don K. These two estates are very close to each other. The elevation of these two estates is about 1500 Murray 1700 Las Ting Brujas (Witch Manor). It is a new estate purchased by Kotowa in recent years, with an elevation of more than 1900.

And the award-winning Rio Cristal (Crystal River Manor), which is also relatively high above sea level, is a new manor, located on the northeast side of Boquete, very close to the continental divide. It has a unique microclimate because the farm has little rainfall in the Pacific between May and December, while it rains mostly in the Atlantic Ocean between January and February. Rio Cristal is located at 1800 meters, but close to the continental boundary, and the temperature may be lower than other similar elevations, dropping to about 9 °C at night. Rio Cristal, located on the western slope of the continental divide, is usually very sunny in the morning, but slightly windy due to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean.

The farm is managed on the basis of ecological principles, does not use herbicides or pesticides, and prepares fertilizers to compensate for soil acidity and nutrition levels. It combines nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, zinc, sulfur and calcium during growth, especially during cherry ripening. These elements are important in the formation of flower and fruit aromas.

BOP-GN-5 is Rio Cristal Kotowa (Crystal River Manor)

Kotowa Manor is usually mentioned by its Chinese name, Witch Manor.

However, as a curious baby, I decided to find out.

Why is kotowa called Witch Manor?

Asked several friends who have been to the origin, including the information found on the BOP website.

My friends and I were shocked-stunned--

Kotowa ≠ Witch Manor

We first consulted a friend who had been to the coffee producing area of Panama.

I found some more information about Kotowa and Las Brujas Manor.

The official website of Kotowa now has information about Duncan (Duncan), Don K, Rio Cristal (Crystal River) manor.

It may not have been updated for a long time, so there is no witch manor (the last time they posted an article on the website was in 2016)

So in fact, the Witch Manor is also one of the estates of the Kotowa family.

It has an equal relationship with Duncan and Crystal River Manor and does not represent other estates--
