The most important feature of Fenghuang Manor coffee beans is their amazing sweetness, which became famous when they took part in the boutique coffee competition in 2009. During the harvest season, the sugar content of the fruit is measured by the sugar meter (Brix meter), which is often equipped by the wine industry, and the best time and treatment are determined according to the Brix sugar content. Only those with more than 20% sweetness will be exposed to the sun. The Brix value of general fruit is 14 for apple, 12 for lemon and 18 for passion fruit, but the coffee cherry of Fenghuang can reach 21 / 22%.

During this period, a large amount of natural sweetness will be developed from raw beans. Different from the conventional sun treatment, it is not flipped many times during the drying process, which makes the fruity taste more obvious.

Although it is not organic, it is confirmed to be a natural farming method. In addition, through the technology of natural fertilizer control and pruning, coffee beans themselves have the characteristics of high hardness and rich layering. Deep sun, is to let the coffee fruit after the initial drying, moved to the room to slowly do fermentation control, get rich wine flavor, but also with a lively texture of red wine. The manor attaches great importance to the concept of environmental protection, and uses the production and use of earthworm farming (worm composting) organic compost, so that the planting process is completely free of the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
