Lemon Tree Manor in Nicaragua

Lemon Tree Manor

The Lemon Tree Manor is located in the YasicaNorte region of Nicaragua and is managed by SantosDemitrio Flores. The planting area of coffee is 171ha, the size of the nature reserve is 77 ha, the elevation is between 850m and 1150 m, and the average annual temperature is 20-28C.

The manor mainly grows Kaddura, Java, Pagmara and yellow Pagmara. The picking period of coffee lasts from December to February, which is usually treated by the combination of dry fermentation and water washing. This batch of Javanese species is treated in such a way, with both flower aroma and fruit acid, and a strong sense of sweetness.

The manor is one of the COE award-winning regulars and has won the Nepal COE award for two consecutive years from 2007 to 2008.

Florence processing plant

The Florence processing plant is located in Ocotal Nueva Segovia in northern Nicaragua, where the climate is very suitable for the cultivation and treatment of high-quality coffee, coupled with high altitude reasons, the quality of the coffee processed by the processing plant is excellent in Nicaragua. The "Especial" batch is a boutique coffee specially selected by the processing factory from many coffees.

The two Nicaraguan coffees we purchased this time are Javanese, but the difference is that they are treated in different ways. We can horizontally compare the differences in different treatments of coffee of the same tree species. I hope you like it.

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 concept of coffee farmers changed and began to try processing methods such as full sun and honey treatment in more areas. in order to ensure the quality of coffee, manual picking is used in the picking process of coffee fruits, picking 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, and has gained more attention since then.

Lemon Tree Manor also processes coffee in a honey-treated way. After the coffee fruit is actually picked, the coffee with its exocarp removed is put on the African shed to dry. Compared with the traditional way of placing coffee directly on the ground to dry coffee, using African shed to dry coffee can reduce more pollution in the drying process, avoid producing more miscellaneous smell, and finally improve the quality of coffee. Honey-treated coffee beans have more attractive tropical fruit flavor.
