According to the geographical location, it is divided into four major producing areas: the north, the central, the south and the east.

The central part is best known for Medellin, Armenia and Manizales, while the south is dominated by boutique coffee varieties, including Huila in Huilan, Cauca in Cauca, Narino in Nari ñ o, and Tolima in Tolima, where coffee beans have delicate sour and raspberry aromas, caramel aromas and sweetness.

The coffee in Huilan area is grown on the slopes of the canyon, with high altitude and suitable temperature for growing high-quality Arabica beans. The climate of the slopes of the canyon not only prevents the cold wind from blowing in, but there is no high temperature when the mountain breeze is cool, but Rain Water is also relatively abundant, and according to the front street, the pickers of Colombian coffee fruits all pick coffee beans by hand, so they can be carefully selected to pick the most ripe and full fruits.

Ramirez, the owner of the manor, came from a coffee-growing family, so he had been dealing with coffee since he was a child. and began to engage in coffee production and related work at the age of 18, until he saved a certain amount of savings and bought the Esteogatine manor. The coffee varieties of the former owner of this manor are all Kaddura, so it sets the tone of sour and sweet fruit for the flavor of Flower Moon Night, while the former owner of the manor began to develop a special treatment of coffee fruit as early as three years before the sale of the manor. and shared this unfinished treatment with the new manor owner Ramirez, of course, with his enthusiasm for coffee.

In fact, the process of anaerobic solarization is to put the coffee beans into a sealed fermentation bucket, lengthen the whole fermentation time with low temperature, and give the coffee more flavor after 15-20 days of fermentation. After fermentation, the coffee beans are dried in the sun. Finally, the fermentation process is completed.
