Matagalpa is the coffee producing area that produces the highest quality coffee in Nicaragua, and there is a heavyweight coffee estate worth introducing-the lemon tree (El Limoncillo). The manor is located in the plateau of Matagalpa between 950m and 1300m above sea level, and there are towering coniferous forests around the coffee trees, providing shade for the growth of coffee trees. This allows coffee trees to be exposed to sunlight while protecting them from being burned by the scorching sun.

In order to ensure the quality of coffee, the manual picking method is used to pick the fully ripe fruits one by one, which usually takes three times to complete. Although the manual picking method has high labor cost and low picking efficiency, it can greatly protect the plant from being hurt in the picking process, and the mature fruit will have better sweetness at the same time. The efforts of the producers have not been in vain, and the coffee from Lemon Manor won the second place in the Nicaragua Excellence Cup COE National Competition in 2008. This bean has a beautiful appearance, delicate and rich flavor after washing, with aromas of fruit, vanilla and cream, and has gained more attention since then.

Lemon Tree Manor also processes coffee in a honey-treated way. After the coffee fruit is actually picked, the coffee with its exocarp removed is put on the African shed to dry. Compared with the traditional way of placing coffee directly on the ground to dry coffee, using African shed to dry coffee can reduce more pollution in the drying process, avoid producing more miscellaneous smell, and finally improve the quality of coffee. Honey-treated coffee beans have more attractive tropical fruit flavors.

The coffee beans with exquisite flavor presented in front of us, whether from the links of picking, planting, processing, or later packaging and transportation, are all devoted to the good intentions of the producers, and in the process of making coffee as something in the cup, we should also treat it attentively.
