Alida Manor (Elida) Sun treatment of Panamanian Fine Coffee
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, which are interestingly often found in Elida coffee.
In addition to the unique ultra-high altitude and microclimate, Mr. Wilford, the owner of the manor, has also made considerable efforts in harvesting and processing. In order to meet the highest standard, the coffee at Elida Manor is only allowed to pick the most ripe coffee fruit (Ripe on Pinton) by hand with high maturity and natural high sugar content of pectin, which is also the basis for producing high-quality Elida flavor.
Mr. Wilford, the owner of the estate, in addition to the extremely strict treatment of coffee cultivation, the "purification" after the processing of raw beans is also more stringent than those in the same industry. Alida of Panama, for example, needs to go through more than 5 months of low-temperature Resting to remove green after raw beans are processed, so that the flavor of coffee can be more balanced and full development. (low-temperature Resting is a concept of raw bean purification that was vigorously promoted by coffee master George Howell in 2006. We found that raw beans in subtropical places need to be kept at low temperature, but different treatments and elevations will change the time of low-temperature Resting. For Alida, Panama, 5 months of low-temperature Resting is the best.)
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).

The history of the farm dates back to 1918. The farm was owned by the Lamastus family, and the name of the farm, Elida Alida, was the name of the then farmer, Mrs. Robert Louis Lamastus. Elida Manor is located in the Boquete producing area, the elevation of the manor is almost the highest in Panama, and nearly half of the area is in the National Conservation Park, is a rare ultra-high altitude manor in Central America! Elida Manor has a total area of 65 hectares, more than half of which are located within the Baru Volcano National Park, 30 hectares of the estate are planted with coffee trees, and the remaining 35 hectares are virgin forests. Coffee is grown from 1670 to 1850 meters above sea level, making it one of the two highest coffee farms in Panama (the other estate with these elevations should be Carmen in the Vulcan Valley).
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.

According to expert analysis, heavy rain and coffee diseases such as stem rot and black rot have reduced coffee production, while the yield of small seed coffee may be reduced from 10.37 million tons to 99700 tons after heavy rain, while the yield of medium grain coffee is lower than that predicted after flowering.
