Flavor characteristics of Coffee beans in Vivette Nan Fruit producing area

Vivette Nanguo is the highest-lying and driest coffee-growing area in the non-volcanic areas. With steep sharp-toothed peaks and narrow valleys, hot and dry winds from the neighboring Tehuantepec plain of Mexico blow into the mountains, allowing coffee in this area to stay at high altitudes without being ravaged by frost.

Vivette Nanguo is an extremely remote and alpine terrain, making coffee producers in the area have to deal with coffee beans on their own. Fortunately, the area has numerous river streams, allowing local growers to set up coffee processing plants almost anywhere.

Vivetna coffee not only has a strong chocolate flavor, but also has aromas of pear, apple and cinnamon. These elements combine to form a smooth, syrup-like taste, gradually bringing out mild burning cedar wood and caramel. Most of them have a strong taste and strong aroma, but sometimes they can be very gentle, and the finish is long and rich. Some coffee estates are set up between the mountains, and the unique microclimate helps coffee develop more different flavors.

Isnard Manor

Located in the town of La Democracia in the northwest of Guatemala, Vivette Nango Isnar is geographically remote, almost close to the border between Mexico and Guatemala. This is a very high-altitude farm with a wide range of elevations. Coffee trees are planted from 1443 to 1900 meters, with an annual rainfall of about 1500 mm.

The Anzueto family bought the land 40 years ago and became the manager of the farm, and now the second generation of the family continues to take over the work of the coffee farm, continuously producing high-quality raw coffee beans, with an area of about 157.5 hectares, roughly 70% catuai, 20% caturra and 10% pacamara, producing an average of about 2927 bags of raw coffee beans (each bag of 69kg) each year. The harvested berries are then sent to a self-built treatment plant on the manor. after the pulp is removed, they will be exposed to the sun in the courtyard for a day, and then the machine will be set to dry at 55 degrees Celsius for one or two days. Anzueto is a family that attaches great importance to the environment. Raw beans not only use natural water sources, but also pay attention to whether they will cause pollution to the environment, so they recycle the pericarp and waste water produced in the treatment process into organic fertilizer to avoid a burden on nature.

Alfonso Augusto is also a very well-known coffee producer in Guatemala. Although it is not as loud as El Injerto, it always produces stable and reliable high-quality coffee. He owns a total of two estates, both located in the tiny South Fruit producing area, one is Finca La Providencia (we translate as the Manor of providence), and the other is Finca Isnul (Isna Manor). For its excellent and stable quality, Finca Isnul was twice selected by COE,Finca Providencia in 2009 (13th) and 2012 (15th) in 2002 (23rd), 2009 (8th) and 2015 (18th). It has been selected for a total of five times, and its quality has always maintained a certain level over the past ten years. This is due to the fact that for the sake of fame, some manors are ranked in a very small number of specific batches in a particular year, but they cannot do so for a long time, which is a completely different level of stable performance.
