Columbia Coffee Hope Manor Coffee Bean flavor

Set up a climate station in the manor to track weather data and help make harvest decisions. The data on the farm are collected continuously and analyzed once a week. After harvest, they will compare weather data, production data, cup test data, and analyze the correlation. The harvesters of Rose Summer are strictly trained to collect only ripe cherry fruits and are paid by the day, unlike other manors by weight. In order to prevent workers from harvesting unqualified cherries in order to improve their performance, half of the harvesting workers have more than six years of experience. After the fruit is harvested, it is sent to the central processing plant in Hope Manor, and each batch of rose summer will be marked and dealt with separately.

Hope Manor's experiment and innovation in variety seems endless, constantly experimenting with different new varieties, except for the organic Kaddura (Caturra), which used to occupy most of the area in Hope Manor, from Rose Summer, Organic Rose Summer, Moka, Bourbon. Including red, yellow, Tekizik bourbon, pointed bourbon (Laurina), Pacamara (Pacamara), San Bernardo (San Bernardo) and Pache, they really bring the winery's serious attitude towards grape varieties to coffee. After the rose summer, from the Pacamara, Bourbon and even the pointed Bourbon produced by the Hope Manor, continue to create the surprise and admiration of the boutique coffee world.

What is particularly worth mentioning is the bean of dreams-pointed bourbon.

The legendary Bourbon pointed Coffee is a natural variant found on the island of Bourbon. In the 18th century, the output of this high-end coffee, which was popular in Europe, reached 4000 tons, but in 1942, only 200kg was left. after the 20th century, this natural low-caffeinated coffee with excellent flavor disappeared from the market completely or even disappeared for a time because of diseases and insect pests and economic factors. Fortunately, Japan's Yoshiaki Kawashima believed in the legend and visited the legendary coffee in the country of origin "Bourbon Island" in 1999, and then successfully restored it in 2006 with the cooperation of French research units and Japan, harvesting the first batch of reborn bourbon spikes. In 2007, this batch of bourbon pointed bodies were launched in 100g packaging by UCC of Japan in Tokyo, with a price of nearly 8,000 yen, which was swept away and shocked the world. Since then, famous manors around the world have begun to study the planting of this rare tree species.

Bourbon pointed body Bourbon Pointu is French, take its raw bean-shaped tip, the scientific name is Laurina, caffeine content is only between 0.4% and 0.75%, the general Arabica caffeine content is about 1.2% to 1.6%, the difference is very large, so it is claimed to drink coffee that will not be sleepless. As a coffee species, Laurina has dense leaves and slow ripening cherries, so the sweetness can be fully developed. The cup test flavor shows bright sour taste, low bitterness, charming and meticulous aroma. When most coffee farms in Colombia sprint for production, and the government advocates high yield and disease resistance, and discourages beans with good flavor but low yield, Cafe Granja La Esperanza is determined to embark on the long road of fine coffee.
