Introduction of Baru Volcano Emerald Manor in Panamanian Coffee producing area

Panama has one of the highest volcanoes in Central America: Mount Baru. The Baru volcano has an altitude of more than 3474 meters, and the surrounding land is nutritious and balanced, providing sufficient conditions for the sowing and cultivation of Panamanian coffee. Cold air streams converge and flow above 2262 meters in the Central Mountains, creating a variety of microclimates in the Bouquete and Volcan regions. The microclimate of the Panamanian highlands, as well as fertile soil, abundant precipitation, suitable temperature and height, have become a unique resource for the cultivation of quality coffee in Panama.

Bokuidi is a small town in the westernmost province of Chiriki in Panama. it has always been the most high-profile coffee producing area in Panama, and the surrounding mountains are known as the "promised land for coffee". The coffee paradise of Panama has given birth to a lot of high-quality coffee and created many top coffee estates. there are numerous coffee stars, some of which are enough to make coffee gluttons salivate. This time, I would like to share with you the La Esmeralda Manor, that is, the Emerald Manor in Bokuidi. And Elida Manor Emerald Manor is famous for its Geisha variety. Rose summer seeds were discovered in the rose summer forests of Ethiopia in 1931 and sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya, and then introduced to Uganda, Tanzania and Costa Rica, all mediocre. It was not until it was transplanted to Panama in the 1960s that it became a blockbuster after nearly half a century. Beat Bourbon, Kaddura, Kaduai and Tibica on BOP (Best of Panama) in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and won the championship for three years in a row.

In 2007, the International famous Bean Cup Test sponsored by the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) won the championship again, and the bidding price was sold at US $130 per pound, setting a record for the highest price in the history of competition beans. Rosa, a member of the Tibika family, grew into the king of coffee in the land of Panama after leaving Ethiopia. It successfully conquered the taste buds with rich floral and fruity aromas and bright acidity.

Taste rosy summer, after the entrance of the beautiful sweet, accompanied by a slight floral fragrance, comfortable and balanced taste, long-lasting rhyme. The unique fruity aromas of litchi, lemon and citrus are amazing enough. Carefully capture the aroma of peach and apricot, the overall feeling is cool and transparent. In each cooking, always with the mood of making holy wine, do not dare to slack off (in fact, it is also because of the high price, I would like to add a smirk here).

The picture above shows the flowering stage of Kaddura variety in Alida Manor.

In addition, the Alida Manor to be introduced is also another heavyweight star manor in the Bokui specialty area. The area where it is located is about 1670 meters to 1725 meters above sea level. The main varieties of coffee planted in the farm are the improved Kaduai species, as well as a small number of bourbon species and Tibica. Although the Rosa Variety was planted a few years ago, Kaduai was used in all the batches of the BOP competition and achieved good results, closely following the Emerald Manor in the number of winners. Thus it can be seen that Panama produces high-quality coffee, which is closely related to its unique geographical advantages. At the same time, the fine operation of the manor harvest and processing link also plays a vital role in determining the quality of raw beans.

At present, Alida's treatment methods include water washing, sun exposure and honey treatment. It is worth mentioning that Alida's sun-dried beans are one of my favorite beans. I like the dry aroma after grinding very much, and I am particularly greedy for its unique flavor of sauce and wine. But there are also friends who can't readily accept the flavor of soy sauce in sun-dried beans at first. Not long ago, I heard some students use "sweet noodle sauce" to describe the sauce they smelled in sun-dried beans, and expressed rejection of the taste.
