Panamanian Coffee Taste Manor area introduces the characteristics of Panamanian Coffee in Caicent Louis Manor

History of Esmeralda Farm: founded by Hans Elliot, a Swede, in 1924, Esmeralda Farm was not a coffee grower but a ranch. Forty years later, in 1964, Mr. Danielupidason's grandfather, Ruth Lover. Mr. Bidasson bought Esmeralda Farm in order to have an old home after retirement. His grandfather, Mr. Ruth Lover Bidasson, was born in Sweden and was president of the Bank of America and director of United Nations development. His son, Mr. Brais Bidarsson, moved to Panama from California in 1973 and inherited to run his father's farm. In 1987, most of the farms were changed to grow coffee. In 1994, he invested in the machinery and equipment of refined coffee in order to create a brand. Mr. Brais Bidarson and his wife Susan also raised three children, Elligu (born in Philadelphia in 1966). Rachel Lou (born in Sweden in 1967) and Danielu (born in Panama in 1974) in 1996 Blaise and Rachel visited a farm for sale in the Haramijun area of the Bocketi Valley and was attracted by the beautiful farm and bought it immediately. This is Esmeralda. Daniel Lou, the third son of Haramiqiong Farm. It is in this farm that Mr. Bidasson has grown Geisha coffee that attracts the attention of the coffee world.

The pronunciation of Geisha is the same as Japanese geisha, so it is also called geisha coffee. Because the tree species are taller than ordinary coffee trees, they are originally planted in a small area of the manor and are used as windbreaks. In order to take part in the annual competition for the best coffee in Panama, the son of the manor owner searched all the coffee trees in the manor for testing, so that Geisha had a chance to appear on the stage. Since then, he has also participated in various world coffee competitions, winning a total of 11 championships. Pokuit has always been the most high-profile coffee producing area in Panama, and there are many famous estates in the region-such as Esmeralda, which is famous for the Geisha variety World War I, Hartman, Mama Cata, Kotowa and Santa Teresa, which are always victorious by Best of Panama. Alida Manor itself is also a heavyweight star manor in Pokuit-has won Best of Panama awards for the past five years in a row, second only to Jade Manor.

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).

At such a high altitude, the low temperature delayed the ripening of the coffee berries, about a month later than the normal ripening period, while the fertile volcanic soil provided sufficient nutrients for the coffee, coupled with the excellent microclimate brought by the Baru volcano, Elida Manor was able to achieve good results in cup test competitions.

In addition to creating good coffee cultivation conditions, the Lamastus family, which runs the Elida estate, has also planted many different native tree species on the estate, not only to shade the coffee trees, but also to provide a friendly habitat for birds. In terms of fertilization, the Lamastus family uses artificial fertilization and a small amount of chemical fertilizers, but never uses pesticides and herbicides that are harmful to the environment.

At present, in addition to Catuai, Typica and Bourbon, the Lamastus family also began to plant Geisha varieties a few years ago. In spite of this, Elida Manor used Catuai in all the batches of the Best of Panama competition, but achieved good results again and again, which shows the excellent quality and special flavor of coffee brought by its geographical environment and excellent postharvest treatment technology.

This batch of raw beans are treated in the sun, which is rare in Central America-dark red purple berries with peak maturity are artificially harvested and directly exposed to the sun for more than two weeks. The sugar in the berry pulp and the fermentation products of the microorganisms in the sun process are all concentrated and infiltrated into the coffee beans, giving this rare high-altitude Panamanian coffee a rich dry aroma of strawberries, cream and toast. and after the entrance of the coffee into a rich berry and tropical fruit mixed with vanilla, and peppermint cool grass, complex aroma, fruit elegant and charming Moderate sweet and sour, pleasant taste, is a rare delicious combination!
