In spite of this, all the batches of Elida Manor participating in the Best of Panama competition used Catuai species, but they were able to achieve good results again and again, which shows the excellent quality and special flavor of coffee brought by its geographical environment and excellent postharvest treatment technology. in addition to creating good coffee cultivation conditions, the Lamastus family of Elida Manor also planted many different native tree species in the manor, not only for shade of coffee trees. It also provides birds with a friendly habitat. In terms of fertilization, the Lamastus family uses artificial fertilization and a small amount of chemical fertilizers, but never uses pesticides and herbicides that are harmful to the environment.
