Introduction to the taste characteristics of coffee bean flavor producing areas of Hope Manor in Colombia

CafeGranjaLaEsperanza's estate is located in eight unique microclimate regions of the three Colombian mountains, giving their botanists an excellent opportunity to experiment with different microclimates and land flavors, different treatments, and different coffee varieties, combining the rationality of scientists, the sense of smell of businessmen and their insistence on the quality of coffee. For example, they create different treatment steps and norms for different microclimates and varieties. From seedling cultivation to export, there are 95 data points to manage all the data.

HernandoTapasco's team, the lead botanist, set up a climate station on the estate to track weather data and help make harvest decisions. The data on the farm were collected continuously and analyzed once a week. After harvest, they will compare weather data, production data and cup test data and analyze the correlation. The harvesters of Rose Summer are strictly trained to collect only ripe cherry fruits and are paid by the day, unlike other manors by weight. In order to prevent workers from harvesting unqualified cherries in order to improve their performance, half of the harvesting workers have more than six years of experience. After the fruit is harvested, it will be sent to the central processing plant in Hope Manor, and each batch of rose will be marked and dealt with separately. First go through the drying stage three days ago in the sun field, and then move to the small tower to dry. Strict quality control is another key. There are 40, 000 to 45, 000 rose trees in CerroAzul Manor, of which only 5-7000 can produce rose beans with the CerroAzul brand.

The experiment and innovation of Hope Chateau on variety seems to be endless, constantly experimenting with different new varieties, in addition to the organic Kaddura, which used to make up the majority of the area of the Hope estate, from rose summer, organic rose summer, mocha, bourbon (including different red, yellow, Tekizik bourbon), pointed bourbon, Pakamara, San Bernardo and Pache, they really bring the chateau's serious attitude towards grape varieties to coffee. After the rose summer, from the Pacamara, Bourbon and even the pointed Bourbon produced by the Hope Manor, continue to create the surprise and admiration of the boutique coffee world.

In the naming of coffee, they like to label coffee products with the usual "GrandCru" label of wine, and they also like to use "reserve" to distinguish top batches. For example, "AAAreverseGeisha" is used to refer to only two of the seven varieties in CerroAzul, and it is also the most advanced, with the highest elevation (1800-2000 meters). According to the large amount of data and research accumulated by the manor, different forms will use different methods to give full play to the best flavor.

Their actions finally paid off. As early as the 2008 "Best Panama" competition, I hope that the LaCardeida rented by the manor will win the best Panama championship with a high score of 93.16. The Best Coffee Triple Crown in 2012 was won by the three main growers: CerroAzul second, LasMagarita third, and Buenos Aires Experimental Manor seventh.
