Cup tester Ken Davids scored a high score of 93 for coffee at Elida Manor in 2012! Elida is also a regular on the bean list of players from all over the world in the World Barista Competition (WBC). It is also common to see contestants use a single Elida to concentrate SOE in the finals of Taiwan's TBC (Taiwan baristas contest) and domestic CBC (Chinese baristas competitions).

Due to the unique geographical conditions and the persistence and pursuit of coffee quality by Mr. Wilford, the landowner, Elida (Alida Manor) has been ranked as one of the three major estates in Panama along with La Esmeralda (Emerald Manor) and Kotowa Duncan (Duncan Manor).

What is the effect of shading and shading on coffee in the plantations of the two neighbors with the same planting conditions? Shading plantations can slow down the ripening time of coffee fruits, so there are more flavor substances in coffee cherries, so shading itself increases the cost and reduces production, and its coffee flavor is higher than that of semi-shaded plantations under the same planting conditions. now most plantations in Colombia are associated with coffee trees and bananas because Arabica trees are becoming more and more dwarfed. So when the banana tree rises, it acts as a shade.
