About Johnson Manor

Panama's Peterson family first presented the summer variety to everyone in 2004, and since then, the international community has gone crazy about Johnson Manor's summer overnight, calling it the champagne of coffee. The 2013 Panama Coffee Awards, presented by the Panama Fine Coffee Association, has a new finalist-Carl Johnson's Johnson Manor Summer.

The microclimate of the Panamanian highlands is the most important resource that makes Panamanian coffee unique. The east-to-west environment of the Republic of Panama allows cold air to flow through the Central Mountains and converge above 6500 feet, thus creating a variety of microclimates in the Boquete and Volcán-Candela regions, making them the main producers of Panamanian coffee. These endemic coffees are grown on nutrient-rich, balanced land in the Baru volcano region. These uplands have the right microclimate, soil, temperature and altitude for the planting, cultivation and harvesting of a wide variety of specialty coffees.

Carl Janson, the owner of the estate, was originally Swiss, but since arriving in Panama he has fallen deeply in love with Volcan, a region surrounded by mountains similar to his home Switzerland, and bought the estate in 1940 after marrying his wife Margaret. Carl Johnson, an avid rancher and the first person to breed Panama Angus cattle.

|Kisha, aka geisha

The name Geisha comes from Mount Geisha in Ethiopia, so it is also called Geisha Coffee; because the tree species is taller than ordinary coffee trees, it was originally planted in a small area of the estate and was used as a sand forest.

|Summer is a breed.

The first species of Geisha was discovered in 1931 from Ethiopia's Geisha Forest and later sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya. Introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936; Costa Rica in 1953.

Not many people have been paying attention to summer. Until one day, Don Pachi first brought it to Costa Rica from the southwestern Ethiopian town of GESHA, and then rose summer along the southern route into Panama, Panama's Emerald Estate will be separated from other varieties, and one lift into the national coffee competition champion, so rose summer officially entered everyone's line of sight.

Rose summer coffee is particularly picky about the growing environment, requiring high altitude, cloud shade, fertile soil, and sufficient accumulated temperature.

The Best Panamanian Coffee Awards 2013 by the Panamanian Specialty Coffee Association (SCAP) has a new finalist! That's carl johnson's johnson manor geisha variety! It is also known as the "Champagne of Coffee". Full jasmine aroma and delicate berry flavor, taste clean, honey, lychee flavor.

Rosebud has a rich sweetness and a very clean palate. The rich nose spreads from berry and citrus to mango, papaya and peach. A very distinct bergamot (bergamot)-like finish is also typical of its cup-testing properties. So far, Guixia has always been the champion among coffee varieties.

Johnson rose summer in the country less heard of, because Johnson manor is mainly domestic sales, not export. At this high altitude, rich volcanic soil, abundant rainfall and suitable temperatures. Johnson Estate grew to be the second largest estate in Panama in terms of rose production, and 50% of the estate's coffee trees were rose varieties.

In order to maintain the balance of the natural environment, Johnson Manor operates both livestock farming and coffee farming, and the family has been running the estate for three generations. Today, Carl's four sons run the farm: Calle, Michael, Ricky and Peter. Caleb is in charge of Janson FAMILY Coffee Roasting Facility and is part of Michael Run Coffee Farm. Ricky and Peter helped with the overall management.

With an average altitude of about 1700 meters, the estate is covered with volcanic soil rich in Su Tong, with abundant rainfall and moderate temperature. Johnson family operators follow environmentally friendly management principles, adopt 100% sustainable cultivation methods, and also build special treatment plants to treat coffee cherries as farm fertilizer; only 2000 roses are planted per hectare to ensure sufficient soil between plants; half of the estate is planted with roses, ranking second in Panama in summer production, and each batch of beans has a highly identifiable batch number, 100% traceable.

This estate not only has its own processing plant to process its coffee cherries, but also puts great effort into roasting, so that the reference of cup test results can be improved. These efforts resulted in Johnson Manor's coffee beans becoming increasingly high-quality, resulting in Johnson Manor's summertime runner-up finish in the Panama (BOP) competition.

In recent years Volcan coffee has gradually emerged in the boutique market, and quite a number of estates have entered the Best of Panama competition and even won the championship. Volcan generally receives less annual rainfall than Borquette, and the geographical environment to the west of Baru volcano also makes coffee have a stronger fruit dry taste, sweetness and aroma than Borquette.

In the early days, most of the economic crops such as fruits and vegetables were planted in Walken, and only a relatively small number of farmers did coffee planting, among which the first to grow coffee in Walken was in Panama's well-known Hartman family, the Jensen family.
