Introduction to Alida Manor Baru Volcano in Panamanian Coffee Manor

Elida Manor mainly has three varieties planted, namely Catuai (Catuai), Typica (Iron Pickup) and Geisha (Guixia). The processing plant of the manor is located halfway up the mountain. After coffee is picked, it can be transported to the factory for processing as soon as possible to ensure that the quality of coffee fruit is not affected. Elida's environment is also suitable for growing other high-quality temperate crops, especially tree tomatoes and some unusual high-altitude fruits. Interestingly, the taste of these fruits can often be found in Elida's coffee.

In addition to the exceptional high altitude and microclimate, the owner of the estate, Mr. Wilford, has also made considerable efforts in harvesting and processing. In order to achieve the highest standards, Elida Manor coffee only allows hand-picked ripened coffee fruits (Ripe on Pinton). The high maturity of the fruit and the naturally high sugar content of pectin are also the basis for producing Elida's high quality flavor.

In addition to being extremely strict with coffee cultivation, Mr. Wilford, the owner of the estate, is also more rigorous than the same industry in the purification of green beans after processing. For Panama Elida, after processing green beans, it needs to go through low temperature Resting for more than 5 months. This can make the coffee flavor have a more balanced and full development. (Low temperature Resting is a concept of green bean purification that was vigorously promoted by coffee master George Howell in 2006. We found that green beans in subtropical areas need to be placed at low temperatures, but different treatments and altitudes will change the time of low temperature Resting. For Panama Elida, 5 months of low temperature Resting is the best)

Cups expert Ken Davids scored Elida Manor coffee 93 points in 2012! Elida is also a regular participant in the World Barista Competition (WBC). In Taiwan TBC (Taiwan Barista Competition) and China CBC (Chinese Barista Competition) finals, it is often seen that contestants use a single Elida to make SOE concentration.

Elida, La Esmeralda and Kotowa Duncan have been ranked as one of Panama's three largest estates due to their unique geographical conditions and Mr. Wilford's persistence in coffee quality.
