In the boutique coffee circle, as long as it is mentioned that Camilo, the owner of the San Tuareo estate, most people agree that because of his unusual enthusiasm for coffee cultivation and innovative experimental spirit, he has become the object of many top Barista cooperation in the world over the years. In 2013, the Facusse family, which has long run Dinant Foods in Costa Rica, decided to use Camilo's successful experience in planting estates in Colombia to start a new manor project in Costa Rica and named it the three Wonders. The name of the three Wonders comes from Camilo's belief that all successful manors absolutely have these three factors to cooperate and cooperate with each other. These three elements are coffee trees, farmers and land. Location was the most important decisive factor in deciding to start the plan for the Costa Rican estate, and after a long discussion and land evaluation process, it was finally decided to choose Tarrazu, the highest producing area in Costa Rica.

Camilo requires the manor to maintain a low-density coffee planting area, which is more conducive to the absorption and growth of coffee trees, as well as a higher improvement of cup flavor. At present, the planting area of the three Wonders Manor is about 120ha, and the annual top micro-batch output is only about 300bags. In addition, the hardware equipment of the manor mainly follows four key points of planning:

The first is to use the Green House system (Green House System) to provide better humidity, temperature and ventilation of raw coffee beans during the sun-drying phase.

The second is the environmental intercropping symbiosis system (Intercrop System), which not only provides manor ecological diversity by planting different plants, but also helps farmers to control farm ecology.

The third is shade tree planting (Shade Grown System). Most of the Inga trees are used in the manor with some other local trees, so that the growth of coffee trees is in a perfect shade environment to protect the growth of coffee trees.

The fourth is to choose the right coffee variety. At the beginning of planting in the manor, Camilo decided to adopt the traditional coffee variety with low yield but better flavor. In addition to Bourbon and Geisha, F1 is a new variety developed by the French research organization CIRAD in Costa Rica in recent years. F1 is a mixture of Villa Sarchi+Sachimor and Sudan Rume, which not only has the flavor of the traditional Central American Villa Sarchi, but also has the citrus flavor of the African variety Sudan Rume.
