About the Manor

One of Panama's top estates, located in the Volcan region, Aurora's estate owner Roberto Brenes was once the chairman of the Panama Stock Exchange, has an MBA degree, and is also a triathlon enthusiast. In 2013, Roberto Brenes named his own washing rose summer Ironman, participated in BOP, and won the championship in one fell swoop. Since then, everyone has habitually called Aurora Manor's washing rose summer Iron Rose Summer. This year's Ironman 2 also ranked 11th in BOP's Rose Summer Wash Group, with a high score of 91.5.

Roberto Brenes is a very interesting man whose interests extend far beyond coffee growing. He plans to make coffee in retirement, and the land has been handed down from generation to generation. Roberto is also head of the Panama Stock Exchange, so he has a lot of knowledge of international finance. Panama, because of its geographical location and, in particular, the Canal, is a rapidly developing country that has attracted worldwide attention. Panama City, sometimes referred to as the Dubai of the Americas, is also a place of heavy international investment. This is not always the case. Panamanians suffered and lived in fear during the dictatorship of Noriega. The young Brenes, an outspoken critic of the Noriega regime, was deported twice, a symbol of honor when looking back on it. Brenes was educated in Panama in high school, then attended Colombia University in New York and earned an MBA, which led him back home to work in banking. Later, while in exile and in South America, he promoted his career to investment banking. After Noriega's exile, when Panama emerged from dictatorship, Blaine was given the role of governor of the country's central bank. The passion he brought to life is now infused into his coffee cultivation, and the results are obvious. During exile and in South America, he elevated his career to investment banking.

Brenes competes in Ironman triathlons, which he clearly loves. We enjoyed spending time with Roberto's friends and acquaintances and look forward to our next meeting. The judges of the 2017 Panama Beer Awards loved this coffee, and it was praised for its great flavor.
