Introduction to the Coffee Grinding degree characteristics of Esmeralda Manor in Panama

When the commodity price of coffee was relatively low, the Panamanian Fine Coffee Association organized a competition called "Best Panama": coffee beans from different parts of Panama were ranked and auctioned online. Esmeralda Manor has been growing a kind of coffee called "Geisha" for many years, and the auction has made their coffee known to more people. Then they won the first place in the competition for four consecutive years from 2004 to 2007, and then won the competition again in 2009 and 2013. It kept breaking records until it was priced at $21/lb in 2004 and then rose to $170/lb in 2010. In 2013, a small portion of the sun-treated coffee was sold for $350.25/lb. There is no doubt that this is the highest price ever sold for a single manor coffee.

Unlike some other high-priced coffee (such as cat shit, Blue Mountain), the coffee quality of this estate is really up to its price level, although high demand and market factors also play a role. This record-breaking coffee tastes unusual: bright and strong floral and citrus flavors, full of tea. All these come from the advantage of "Geisha".

In the Pokuit producing area, there are also many excellent manors, except the famous Emerald Manor, Alida Manor, Aqaba Manor and so on, all of which produce high-quality boutique coffee. This is not only due to the superior ecological conditions of the Pokuit region of Panama and the fertile volcanic ash soil of the Baru volcanic land. Another important factor is that the microclimate in the Poquet Heights of Panama is a unique and important resource for boutique coffee in the Pokuit region. This is the Panamanian environment from east to west that allows cold air to converge above 6500 feet through the Central Mountains, thus creating a variety of microclimates in the Pokuit region, making its temperature and rainfall very suitable for plant growth. so the coffee trees grown here grow very well.

In Poquet's unique planting environment, there is naturally not only the rose summer of emerald, the king of coffee, regardless of flavor, quality and value, but I think it is quite extravagant to drink rose summer every day, and even if there is no economic pressure, it is not like eating shark's fin and bear's paw every day. The same is true of coffee. You need to dabble widely in order to enjoy the pleasure of tasting coffee. Now there are many ways to wash the coffee, but generally speaking, after picking the coffee fruit, remove the floating beans, then remove the pulp, and then soak the coffee beans in the fermentation tank. The enzymes in the water will soften the mucus attached to the peel of the coffee beans, and the natural yeast will break down the sugar in the mucus. This process is called fermentation. After the fermentation is completed, move the coffee beans to the sun field to dry. In the process of drying, you need to constantly turn the coffee beans to ensure the uniformity of the drying. Finally, the shell is kept in the warehouse, and some raw bean merchants place an order before shelling and bagging. The processed coffee tastes clean, emphasizing bright and lively acidity, as well as clear fruit flavor and floral aroma.
