Introduction and Flavor characteristics of Shenqu Manor

The Vulcan Valley next to the Balu volcano, the highest peak in Panama, is located on a hillside southwest of the town of Paso Anqiu, with coffee varieties such as Typica, Catuai, Caturra, Bourbon, San Ramon and Geisha.

Although the Shenqu Manor has a complete set of dry washing equipment, the traditional fermentation washing process is still used to wash beans:

While fermenting in the tiled fermentation tank and washing the pulp, the raw beans with the heaviest specific gravity were separated by buoyancy.

Shape clear lines / medium acidity / milk chocolate and caramel melon flavor, famous for its ultra-high C / P value and suitable for ensemble with other beans.

The difficulty of Sunshine treatment in Shenqu Manor

The difficulty of tanning:

Due to the lack of buoyancy specific gravity sorting process of water washing treatment, sun treatment is very picky about berry harvest and subsequent fruit selection, whether red Kaddura or yellow Cadura, must be full-ripe berries!

At the same time, the time spent drying beans is at least twice as long, which means that there is a greater demand for bean drying farms, and even the exposure space for washing beans will be squeezed out during the harvest season.

On the other hand, dried beans can not be dried continuously at one time: controlling many factors, such as sugar concentration / water loss curve / drying temperature / fermentation degree / backosmosis, is a necessary condition for successful sundried beans.

This requires the input of resources / professional / labor, are far higher than washing beans, the difficulty and the increased cost are quite high.
