Panamanian Jade Manor

Coffee fans are familiar with the fact that the Jade Manor is rich in high-quality rose summer coffee, and they are also the disseminators of the rose summer coffee. The history of the Emerald Manor originated in 1964, when Rudolph Peterson, an American banker, retired to Panama and bought the Jade Manor in Pokuit, which was dominated by dairy at first. Then his son Price resigned as a doctor to help his father run the farm, introduced Kaddura and Kaduai coffee beans in 1987, set up a washing plant in 1994, and has had its own coffee processing plant ever since.

The discovery of Rosa coffee was only an accident, because the Rosa coffee tree was supposed to have low yield and low economic benefits at that time, so it was used by the former landowner as a windbreak tree to protect Kadulakaduai coffee in other high-yielding areas.

It was under this background that the workers who picked the coffee fruit picked the rose summer coffee fruit as well. As a result, the owners found this coffee bean very special and rich in citrus flowers during the cup test, so they found the rose summer coffee tree and began to pay attention to it. So in 2004, the Emerald Manor took the rose summer to the competition alone, and became popular in the BOP competition. Since then, it has established the status of Jadeite Manor in the boutique coffee industry.

Just as Qianjie Coffee said above, the jade estate was also the first to grow Kaddura, Kaduai varieties of coffee beans, and most of these two varieties of coffee beans are grown locally in Panama, so if you want to understand the most primitive flavor of coffee beans in Panama coffee beans, you have to start with these two varieties of coffee beans. after all, the flavor of Rosa variety coffee beans is still partial to its place of origin, Africa.

Planting conditions of Panamanian coffee beans

Qianjie Coffee often says that the flavor of coffee beans depends on its growing environment, coffee variety and treatment. Then Qianjie Coffee will popularize the Diamond Mountain coffee beans of the Jade Manor around these three points.

The whole territory of Panama is undulating, with vertical and horizontal valleys, mostly mountains except the north and south coastal plains. The earth is near the equator, with a tropical maritime climate, humid during the day and cool at night, with an annual average temperature of 23-27C °. The whole year is divided into drought and rain seasons, with an average annual precipitation of 1500-2500mm.

Panamanian coffee beans are mainly famous for their smooth taste and balanced sour taste, and their high-quality coffee beans have pure flavor and rich characteristics. The first batch of coffee exported each year starts in November.

High-quality Panamanian coffee beans are mainly grown in northwest Panama, near Costa Rica and the Pacific Ocean. Among them, the Pokuit coffee producing area in Chiriki province is the most famous.

Panamanian Pokuit coffee bean producing area

According to Qianjie Coffee, the Pokuit growing area is as high as 1400-1900m above sea level. It is located near the border between Panama and Costa Rica, near the famous Baru Baru volcano, with rich scenery and rich soil. The climate and soil are very suitable for producing quality coffee.

There are also many excellent estates in the Pokuit area, except the Emerald Manor, Alida Manor, Catova Duncan Manor and so on all produce high-quality boutique coffee.

This is not only due to the mild climatic conditions in the Poquet region of Panama and the fertile volcanic ash soil of the Baru volcanic land. Another important factor is the changeable microclimate in the Poquet Heights of Panama.

Land division of jadeite manor

The coffee beans planted in the jadeite manor are also divided into regions. For example, the coffee beans in the jadeite manor are divided into five major brands according to altitude, microclimate, cup test performance and planting varieties. There are three brands of rose summer varieties: jadeite special selection (red mark), private collection (green mark) and rose summer 1500 (blue standard). Kaddura, Kaduai breed has two brands: Diamond Hill and Pamela.

According to Qianjie Coffee, the Emerald Manor has three main plots: Jaramillo (Cannes Vidis) and El Velo (Veil). And each piece of land will be refined to small plots again.

Jala Miyou (Jaramillo):

The annual rainfall is 4000ml, the average temperature in daytime is 19-25 ℃, the average temperature at night is 11-15 ℃, and the average altitude is 1600-1700m. The Haramiyo site is subdivided into five small plots: Mario (Mario), Noria (Ferris wheel), Reina (queen), Bosque (forest) and Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires).

Cannes Vidis (Canas Verdes):

The annual rainfall is 3500ml, the average temperature in daytime is 16-23 ℃, the average temperature at night is 10-15 ℃, and the average altitude is 1600-1800m. Cannes consists of nine small plots: Lino (flax), Coronado (coronation), Fundador (founder), Le ó n (Leon), Montaa (peak), Trapiche (sugar), Chinta (urn), Cabaa (cabin) and Tumaco (Tumako).

Veil (El Velo):

The plot is the latest purchase of the Jadeite Manor, with an average elevation of 1700-1900m. In addition to planting Rosa and Kaduai, the site also has a small number of other exotic species, such as Laurina, Pakamara, Mocha and SL28. The veil is divided into seven small plots, namely: Guabo, Port ó n (Portal), Durazno (Peach), Higuer ó n (fig tree), Higo (fig), Buena Vista (Buena Vista) and guila (Eagle).

Emerald Manor Diamond Hill Series Coffee beans

The Emerald Manor Diamond Hill series of Kadulakaduai coffee varieties are planted in Kanas Vidis and Haramiyo, and the overall coffee cultivation is distributed at 1400 to 1700 meters above sea level. At the same time, Qianjie understands Diamond Hill brand coffee with superior environment certification of Rainforest Alliance. You know, it's not that easy to get this certification. For example, the Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee in the front street coffee shop comes from the only Rainforest Alliance certified Clifford estate in Jamaica.

What does the Rainforest Alliance certification represent?

1. Less water pollution. two。 Less acid damage. 3. Reduce the impact on the environment and human health. 4. Protect wildlife habitats. 5. Less wasteful. 6. Use less water. 7.

The picture shows the rainforest certification mark.

And according to Qianjie Coffee, the manor must have more than 100 crops to be certified by the Rainforest Alliance, which will be certified in accordance with the environmental and social standards of the Sustainable Agriculture Network.

Diamond Hill Coffee Bean varieties-Kaddura, Kaduai

According to Qianjie Coffee, Kaddura and Kaduai varieties are now widely planted in Latin America, because its pest resistance is better than tin pickup, so it is also widely planted in Panamanian coffee producing areas, while Kaddura is a variety of bourbon. It was found in Brazil in 1937 that its production capacity and disease resistance are better than bourbon, and the trees are shorter, easy to harvest, adaptable and do not need shade trees. Suitable for planting in the high altitude area from 700m to 1700 m, the altitude adaptability is very strong, but the higher the altitude, the better the flavor, and the production capacity is relatively reduced.

The Kaduai variety is a hybrid developed in 1949. It is an artificial cross between Huang Kadura (Arabica subspecies) and New World (Robusta subspecies). It was originally named "Hmur2077". Kaduai has a good ability to resist disasters, especially wind and rain. Because the plant is small, it can be planted at twice the density, and the plant is small, so it is relatively easy to treat diseases and insect pests. Kaduai is strong and low in height, but is vulnerable to leaf rust.

Treatment of Diamond Hill Coffee beans in Jadeite Manor

This diamond bean purchased from Qianjie Coffee is tanned. Therefore, this coffee bean will also have a strong aroma and a sense of fermentation in terms of flavor.

Coffee farmers in the sun treatment process, the harvest of coffee fruit will be sent directly to the courtyard to dry. The coffee fruit dries slowly, the coffee beans are still inside, and the coffee beans are full of fruit and aroma. Depending on the weather and the composition of the site, the coffee fruit will be dried on the concrete platform for 3 to 5 days (8 hours a day).

When the coffee fruit is dried to a certain extent, it is then put into a Guardiola dryer (Guardiola drier) and rotated for 72 hours to complete the drying process and prevent fermentation. When the drying is finished, the coffee fruit will be mechanically removed from the skin, pulp and other parts. Qianjie Coffee believes that sun treatment can add sweetness to coffee beans and the flavor of ripe red berries.
