Coffee Manor Guava Plain Manor Guava Plain Manor Guatemala New Oriental region Wine Sun treatment SL28 species

The guava plain estate in Guatemala's New Oriental region, named Siyi, is located in the easternmost part of Guatemala. Unlike Antigua, which is less than an hour's drive from the capital, New Oriental has to drive all the way to the easternmost border with Honduras. The 28 kinds of SL sun and water washing batches introduced this time are all customized micro-batches in cooperation with the manor owner. Collaborative microbatches have become an important enabler for the development of today's premium coffee, especially innovative microbatches, by providing incentives for farmers to produce specific batches through prior discussions with farmers and guaranteed price commitments to achieve our goals for flavor, quality and innovation.

Last year, a small amount of washed SL28 was produced in Guava Plain. This year, under the cooperation with traders, a new batch of sun-dried wine fragrance was added, with unique flavor. When cooperating with traders on this series, we also communicated on the spot about the harvesting standards and sun-dried treatment methods (such as turning and drying days). From the results, it can be said that it is a very happy harvest. Especially SL28 is still rare in Central America.

Sunlight: pineapple, melon, dried apricot, sugared lemon peel, bordeaux wine, green tea and cinnamon spice, rich sweetness and smoky plum aroma throughout.

SL28 is extremely rare in Central America. This tree species originated from Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. It was discovered in 1931. Its leaves are broad and reddish. It can adapt to quite high altitude environment. It has excellent drought resistance and disease resistance. It also has higher yield than traditional trees. The performance of flavor is also unique. In 1935, Scott Laboratory named this variety SL after the laboratory's initial letter, 28 is the selected serial number, and then planted in Kenya.

Bourbon descendants selected and cultivated by French and British missionaries and researchers in Kenya in the early 20th century. For centuries, Kenya has adapted to high concentrations of phosphoric acid soil, breeding Kenya bean special sour fragrance spirit, different from the Bourbon bean in Central and South America. This Kenyan native species was created in 1930 by Scott Laboratories and is known simply as SL. Agronomists wanted to find a pest-resistant and high-yield bourbon, and they got SL28 through experiments. SL28 is a genetic variant with a mixed lineage of French missionaries, mocha, and Yeomen tibica. SL28 was originally bred to produce high-quality, disease-resistant coffee beans in large quantities. Although SL28 did not yield as much as expected, the copper-leaf color and bean-like beans had great sweetness, balance and complexity, with notable citrus and dark plum characters.
