Introduction to the coffee flavor and taste characteristics of the elegant and charming Caesar Louis Manor in Panama

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, all the batches of Elida Manor participating in the Best of Panama competition use Catuai species, but they can still achieve good results again and again, which shows that its geographical environment and excellent postharvest treatment technology bring excellent quality and special flavor to coffee. Pokuit has always been the most eye-catching coffee producing area in Panama, and there are many famous estates in the area-such as the Emerald Manor (Esmeralda), which is famous for Geisha varieties. Hartmen Manor (Hartman), Mamakata Manor (Mama Cata), Kotwa Manor (Kotowa), St. Teresa Manor (Santa Teresa) of the Best of Panama victorious Army. 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 which are planted with coffee trees, and the remaining 35 hectares are primeval forest Elida Manor in the Poquet producing area of Chiriki Province, a province on the western border of Panama. The most famous landmark and tourist attraction of the province is the Baru volcano, which is 3300 meters above sea level, which is one of the highest volcanoes in Central America. With a total area of about 14000 hectares, it can be divided into seven different microclimate zones according to altitude. There are many rare plants, birds and mammals inhabiting the volcano, so it is set up for the protection of national parks and forbids hunting and man-made development and destruction.

The Pokuit producing area is located on the east side of the Baru volcano. It is a valley area flowed by lava, which is adjacent to the Vulcan Valley (Volcan Valley), another well-known coffee producing area in Panama.
