Introduction to the characteristics of coffee flavor and taste of Manor Erida in Panama with fresh and elegant taste.

Panama is located on the Panamanian isthmus in Central America, bounded by Colombia to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the south.

It is bordered by Costa Rica to the west and the Caribbean to the north. The territory is S-shaped to connect North and South America, and the Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean from north to south. Panama, known as the "bridge of the world", is rich in mineral resources, but it is not exploited much and the mine scale is small. The main minerals are gold, silver, copper, iron, mercury, bauxite, manganese, salt, oil and so on. The reserves of copper, salt and bauxite are relatively large. As of 2013, Panama has more than 200 million tons of copper ore, ranking fourth in the world. The proven copper reserves can be exploited for 50 years. The national emblem of Panama was launched in 1904 by a brown eagle with its head held high and its wings spread.

Panamanian national emblem

Panamanian national emblem

It stands on the national emblem with a white ribbon with the Panamanian motto "for the benefit of the world". In the middle of the national emblem is the brown isthmus of Panama, the blue Pacific and Caribbean seas, and the Panama Canal that connects them; under the blue sky, a bright moon has risen, the corresponding sunset is still shining in all directions, symbolizing the arrival of Panama's independence "at sunset and moonrise"; the silver sword and rifle crossed on the upper left have experienced the ups and downs of hundreds of years of war on Panamanian land. The T-pick and shovel on the upper right represent the country's call for active construction and hard work; the sheep's horn overflowing with gold coins and the golden two-winged flywheel symbolize the progress and prosperity of the country. Four national flags are decorated around the national emblem, and the top nine golden five-pointed stars represent the nine provinces of Panama

In 1931, it was exported to Kenya in obscurity from Geisha Mountain Mountain in southwestern Ethiopia, wandered to Tanzania and Costa Rica, was transplanted to Panama in the 1960s, and then went through nearly half a century before it became a blockbuster, beating the victorious armies of Bourbon, Kaddura, Kaduai and Tibika to win the first prize of the Panamanian National Treasure Bean Cup Test Competition in 2005, 2006 and 2007. In 2007, the International famous Bean Cup Test sponsored by the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) won the championship again, and the bidding price was sold at US $130 per pound, setting a record for the highest price in the history of competition beans. It is reported that the later Panamanian national treasure bean competition will be divided into two groups: Rose Summer and non-Rose Summer, so as not to be robbed of the brilliance of other varieties by Rose Summer. Rosa is a member of the Tibika family, but it became famous more than 70 years after leaving Ethiopia, and fulfilled the saying that Ethiopia is a treasure trove of Arabica genes. Giving a variety to go abroad is enough to stir up trouble in the coffee market.

Geisha has been planted in many parts of the world and is the new king of boutique coffee. Among them, Panama, Guatemala, Colombia and other Latin American countries have relatively high quality and high prices. Panama, a country that its countrymen know too well, has always been inextricably bound with high-quality coffee. Its taste is fresh, elegant and floral, and honey has always been the recognizable symbol of Panamanian high-quality coffee, so that people who drink it will never forget it.

This time we bring you not the rosy summer of Esmeralda, nor the coffee beans of Berlina, but the coffee of ELIKA ESTATE, another famous farm in Pokuit.

The history of ESTATE Alida Farm can be traced 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.

Alida Farm is located in the Alto Quiel area of Pokuit, where the elevation is about 1670 meters to 1725 meters. The main varieties of coffee planted in the farm are the improved Kaddura species, and there are also a small number of bourbon species. ELIKA ESTATE (Alida) Manor is also a participant in BOP (Best of Panama) for many times, and has achieved very ideal results, so there are three ways to become famous as plantations. Sunshine plantation, full shade plantation, semi-shade plantation. Plantations with more than 50 plants per hectare are fully shaded plantations, 25-50 plants are semi-shaded plantations, and less than 25 plants are called sunshine plantations. What is the effect of shading and shading on coffee in the plantations of the two neighbors with the same planting conditions? Shading plantations can slow down the ripening time of coffee fruits, so there are more flavor substances in coffee cherries, so shading itself increases the cost and reduces production, and its coffee flavor is higher than that of semi-shaded plantations under the same planting conditions. now most plantations in Colombia are associated with coffee trees and bananas because Arabica trees are becoming more and more dwarfed. So when the banana tree rises, it acts as a shade.
