Caesar of Panama. Louis Manor, founded in 1920, is located in the Boqui specialty area of Mount Baru, located in the Poquette Valley of Mount Baru in northwestern Panama. After three generations of coffee planting experience, the family combines more than 300 local small family farms, and small farm coffee farmers join partners from planting, post-processing, baking and marketing, unlike a single manor that cannot increase the scale of production. There is a variety of Typica Caturra Catuai Mundo Novo and Bourbons. The average annual rainfall is 3000 mm (between May and November), the annual average temperature is 14-24 degrees, and the elevation is more than 1400 meters. The rugged mountain of Balu is a young volcano, more than 3400 meters above sea level, an active volcano, surrounded by seven different micro-climatic zones, brewing a rich and diverse ecological environment, and Arida Manor straddles them. A diverse micro-climate has both advantages and disadvantages for coffee growing. for Arida, her flavor is richer and more varied than most Panamanian coffee. Of course, the terrain at ultra-high altitude also has its drawbacks. Due to the excessive temperature difference between morning and evening, it takes five years for the coffee to be harvested for the first time after sowing. The waiting period for receipt is quite long (usually only 3 years for coffee in the producing area). Although the plant growth is slow, it is very helpful to the development of coffee flavor. After entering the harvest period, the ripening period of coffee is often more than a month due to the relationship of temperature. when irresistible factors such as hurricanes and heavy rains come on the eve of ripening, it is well known that it will cause heavy losses, but because the beans do not meet the harvest standards of the manor, under the insistence of quality, refuse to rush to harvest, resulting in a sharp decline in harvest! The risk is actually much greater than that of other low-altitude estates.

There are three main varieties planted in Elida Manor, namely, Catuai (Kaduai), Typica (Iron pickup) and Geisha (Rose Summer). The processing plant of the manor is halfway up the hillside. After the coffee is picked, it can be transported to the factory for processing as soon as possible to ensure that the quality of the coffee fruit is not affected. Of course, Elida's environment is also suitable for growing other high-quality temperate crops, especially tree tomatoes and some uncommon high-altitude fruits. Interestingly, the taste of these fruits can also be found in Elida coffee.
