Introduction to the characteristics of coffee flavor and taste varieties in Joy Manor, Nicaragua, with delicate and rich flavor

Since July 1927, Augusto. Cesar. Sandino led the people in a guerrilla war against the US occupation, forcing the US military to withdraw in 1933. On February 21, 1934, the Commander of the Nicaraguan National Guard, Anastacio. Somocha. Garcia assassinated Sandino at the behest of US President Roosevelt. He became president in 1936 and established a pro-American "Cordillo" dictatorship for more than 40 years until 1979. In 1964, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (SPLF) was established to carry out a revolutionary struggle against the Somocha dictatorship. Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, is located in the west of the border, located on the south bank of Lake Managua, hence its name. The northwest is 140 kilometers away from the Collinto seaport on the Pacific coast. 55 meters above sea level. It is a Spanish city with beautiful scenery. Because it is located on the east side of the Pacific volcanic active seismic belt, there have been four strong earthquakes in the city in the past 100 years, one of which caused the worst damage to the city in December 1972. The rebuilt Managua has taken many important measures in reducing population density, moving large enterprises to other places and improving the earthquake-proof capacity of buildings. The word Managua comes from the Indian Naval language, and its meaning has two interpretations, one is "Mexican place", and the other is "waterside". About 10,000 years ago, there were human activities on the shores of Lake Managua, and the remains of ancient human activities can be seen from the Acorink site. As a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes, residents have moved many times. When the Spaniards conquered Nicaragua in the early 16th century, it was still an important Indian village. It became a city in 1846. It was designated as the capital of the Republic in 1852. From then on, it became the political center of the country.

The suitable climate provides an excellent growth environment for the cultivation of coffee. The mineral-rich pozzolanic soil provides abundant nutrients for the cultivation of coffee trees. High-quality Nicaraguan coffee is also grown in the northern and central highlands of the country. The best coffee is produced in Matagalpa. The coffee produced here is highly respected by coffee lovers all over the world and gradually valued by the boutique community. Abundant precipitation, suitable temperature, high altitude, fertile soil and unique planting ecology are the prerequisites for creating high-quality Nicaraguan coffee.

Nicaragua is an economically backward agricultural country, is one of the poorest countries in Central America, the unemployment rate is very high, people live in poverty, and coffee is Nicaragua's pillar industry, producing nearly 100,000 tons of coffee beans every year. Due to the poor economic foundation, the coffee industry is still relatively backward, and coffee farmers are also in a relatively poor state.

Although Nicaragua is a country with a large territory in Central America, it is not a big producer in the coffee world, and its output and reputation are much weaker than that of its neighbor Costa Rica. But the high-quality Nicaraguan coffee is in the forefront of coffee beans in the world and enjoys a good reputation.

Traditional Nicaraguan coffee farmers are used to using water washing method for subsequent processing of coffee fruits. Coffee farmers are more accustomed to using water washing to ensure that the flavor of raw coffee beans is more stable and clean. it was not until about 2009 that the traditional attitudes of coffee farmers changed and began to try processing methods such as full sun and honey in more areas.

Matagalpa, which we mentioned earlier, is the coffee producing area that produces the best quality coffee in Nicaragua, and there is a heavyweight coffee estate worth introducing-the lemon tree (El Limoncillo). The manor is located in the plateau of Matagalpa between 950m and 1300m above sea level, and there are towering coniferous forests around the coffee trees, providing shade for the growth of coffee trees. This allows coffee trees to be exposed to sunlight while protecting them from being burned by the scorching sun.

In order to ensure the quality of coffee, the manual picking method is used to pick the fully ripe fruits one by one, which usually takes three times to complete. Although the manual picking method has high labor cost and low picking efficiency, it can greatly protect the plant from being hurt in the picking process, and the mature fruit will have better sweetness at the same time. The efforts of the producers have not been in vain, and the coffee from Lemon Manor won the second place in the Nicaragua Excellence Cup COE National Competition in 2008. This bean has a beautiful appearance, delicate and rich flavor after washing, with aromas of fruit, vanilla and cream. From then on, it became famous and gained more attention.
