Colombian Hope Manor boutique adzuki bean Bourbon pointed natural variation

Specialty coffee is also known as specialty coffee or specialty coffee. It refers to coffee made from green beans with excellent taste characteristics grown in a few extremely ideal geographical environments. Depending on the particular soil and climatic conditions in which they are grown, they have outstanding flavors. This type of coffee is then strictly selected and graded, and its texture is hard, rich in taste, and excellent in flavor. It is a selected coffee bean.

Bourbon Pointu is French, take its green bean-shaped tip, scientific name Laurina, caffeine content is only 0.4% to 0.75%, general Arabica caffeine content is about 1.2 to 1.6%, the difference is very large, so it is said to be drinking coffee that will not sleep. As a coffee tree species, Laurina leaves are dense and cherries ripen slowly, thus allowing sweetness to develop fully. The cup taste shows bright acidity, low bitterness, and charming and delicate aroma.

Ten years ago, when most coffee farms in Colombia were racing to produce, the government advocated multi-yield, disease-resistant beans and discouraged good flavor but low-yield beans, Cafe Granja La Esperanza resolutely embarked on the long road of fine coffee.

Hope Manor has four different species of coffee. I hope you can understand the influence of "species" on flavor.

4 Bourbon Pointu/Laurina

The opportunity that Hope Manor saw at that time was Geisha. Panama Emerald Manor became famous because it rediscovered rose summer in the garden. After becoming the world's top manor, coffee farms all over the world were studying the possibility of planting rose summer, but Colombia did not have rose summer varieties. Hope Manor owner Rigoberto Herrera sent chief botanist Hernando Tapasco to Panama to learn from them. He rented La Cardeida Farm next door to Emerald Manor in Boquet. Tapasco himself stayed in Boquet for one year. Thoroughly study the cultivation and production technology of summer roses.

In December 2006, Hope Manor purchased Cerro Azul in Colombia's Cauca Valley, a geographical environment very close to the terroir and the Borquites, where warm air rising from the Cauca Valley meets cold air from the Pacific Ocean, creating excellent evapotranspiration for the estate (a factor important for plant growth). In the harvest season of 2012, he won the second place in the annual World Coffee Competition of the American Fine Coffee Association, and together with the other two estates of Hope Manor, he took three places in the top ten: No.2, No.3 and No.7, creating an incredible Triple Crown!

Chief botanist Hernando Tapasco's team set up weather stations on the estate to track weather data to help make harvest decisions. Data on the farm is collected continuously and analyzed once a week. After harvest, they compare weather data, production data, and cup data to analyze correlations. Summer harvesters are strictly trained to harvest only ripe cherries and are paid by the day, unlike other estates, which are paid by weight. In order to avoid workers in order to rush performance, unqualified cherries are also harvested, half of the harvest workers have more than six years of experience. After the fruits are harvested, they are sent to the central processing plant in Hope Manor. Each batch of roses will be marked and processed separately.

Hope Manor's experiments and innovations in varieties seem endless, constantly experimenting with different new varieties, except for the organic cadura, which originally occupied most of the area in Hope Manor.( Caturra), from Rosedale, Organic Rosedale, Moka, Bourbon (red, yellow, Tekizik different bourbon), pointed Bourbon (Laurina), Pacamara, San Bernardo and Pache, they really bring the winery's attitude towards grape varieties into coffee. After the summer rose, pacamara, bourbon and even pointy bourbon from Hope Manor continued to create surprises and admiration in the fine coffee world.

Especially worth mentioning is Dream Bean-Pointy Bourbon

Bourbon Tip This legendary coffee is a natural variant found on Bourbon Island. Once in the eighteenth century, this popular European high-grade coffee production reached 4000 tons, but by 1942, there were only 200kg of existing production, after the twentieth century, this natural low caffeine, excellent flavor coffee, unexpectedly because of pests and economic factors, completely disappeared in the market, or even once extinct. Fortunately, Yoshiaki Kawashima of Japan firmly believed in the legend and visited the legendary coffee in 1999 at the origin of Bourbon Island. Then, with the cooperation of French research units and Japan, he successfully restored it in 2006 and harvested the first batch of Bourbon tips. In 2007, this batch of bourbon tips was launched by UCC in Tokyo in 100g packaging, the price was as high as nearly 8000 yen, swept away, shocking the international community. Since then, the world's famous manor began to study the cultivation of this rare tree species.
