Introduction to the characteristics of Panamanian Coffee Flavor Manor

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 With moderate sweet and sour taste and pleasant taste, Elida Manor is a rare delicious combination with a total area of 65 hectares, more than half of which are located in Baru Volcano National Park, with 30 hectares of coffee trees and the remaining 35 hectares of primeval forest.

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, low temperatures delay the ripening of coffee berries, about a month later than the normal ripening period. The fertile volcanic loam provides sufficient nutrients for coffee, coupled with the excellent microclimate brought by the Baru volcano, so that Elida Manor can repeatedly achieve good results in cup test competitions. 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 the Geisha variety World War I.
