Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Panamanian coffee beans are very famous, and there are two very well-known estates in Poquet alone, such as Emerald Manor, Arida Manor, Walken Manor, Hartman Manor and so on. Qianjie often shares the Emerald Manor with you, but today I will share the Erida Manor in the Pokuit area.

First of all, the front street gives you a brief introduction to the Pokuit producing area, which is a town of Chiriqui in Chiriki province, located near the border between Panama and Costa Rica, near the famous Baru Baru volcano, the scenery is rich, and the climate and soil are very suitable for producing quality coffee. The quality of Costa Rican coffee beans is also very high, and there are many coffee beans on the front street, among which honey treatment also makes Costa Rican coffee beans have a unique coffee flavor. For example, the Costa Rican Bach coffee beans on the street front have the aroma of ripe fruit, while Beethoven uses water washing treatment, the coffee flavor tends to be clean and sour, while Mozart coffee comes from between these two coffee beans. The acidity is not so obvious, and the aroma of fermented wine is also very strong.

Located in the well-known Pokuit area, Manor Erida in Panama covers a total area of 65 hectares, more than half of which is within the Baru Volcano National Park, only 30 hectares are used for planting coffee trees, and the rest are virgin forests. With coffee trees growing from 1670 to 1850 meters above sea level, Erida Manor is one of two coffee farms with high elevations in Panama (the other estate is located at Carmen in the Vulcan Valley. ) at such a high altitude, the low temperature delayed the ripening of the coffee berries, about a month later than the normal ripening period, while the fertile volcanic soil provided sufficient nutrients for the coffee, coupled with the good microclimate brought by the Baru volcano, Elida Manor was able to achieve good results in cup test competitions.

Qianjie has also tested the coffee beans of Alida Manor. First, 11.3g coffee beans are ground into powder and then smell dry fragrance. The dry aroma of this coffee bean has strong aromas of caramel, roasted almonds and flowers. At the beginning of 94 degrees, the wet fragrance reached within four minutes is a bit like jackfruit and fermented wine. After the cup test, Qianjie believes that the overall flavor of this Panamanian coffee bean is smooth, with obvious flavors of raisins, peaches, oranges, cantaloupe, sugar and caramel, green tea and high cleanliness.

Is there any difference between the specific flavor of this Alida Manor coffee bean and the Hartman Manor coffee bean from Walken? Therefore, Qianjie also compared the coffee beans from Hartman Manor in order to compare the flavor differences between the two coffee beans. Qianjie uses the same cup test process to test this Hartman Manor coffee bean. First grind to smell the dry aroma, the dry aroma of Hartman coffee beans treated with red wine exudes the aroma of orange and jasmine, and then fill the bowl with water to confirm that its wet fragrance is fermented wine and honey-like sweetness. Four minutes later, the residue was broken and the flavor was identified. through the cup test in the front street, it was found that the overall flavor of this Panamanian coffee was close to that of tropical fruits, nuts, red wine, honey, sugar and so on.

The flavors of these two Panamanian coffee beans from different producing areas are very different because they are treated differently. Through the cup test and comparison in the front street, it is considered that Hartmann's fermented red wine is very rich. Alida Manor's coffee bean flavor tends to tropical fruit flavor. The flavor of this Erida Manor is also different from that of the Diamond Hill series of Panamanian Coffee, which is also the Emerald Manor of Poquet. The Diamond Hill coffee beans from Panama have dry aromas of citrus and berries, wet aromas of citrus, and overall flavor of citrus, honey, cocoa and fermented wine.

In addition to planting rose summer varieties, the Panamanian Emerald Manor also grows Kaddura and Kaduai, which are divided into the Diamond Hill series and the Pamiyan series just mentioned in the front street. In addition to growing Kaduai, Alida Manor also planted Typica (Iron pickup) and Geisha (Rose Summer). The estate's processing plant is halfway up the hillside. After the coffee is picked, it can be transported to the factory for processing as soon as possible to ensure that the quality of the coffee fruit will not be affected. Of course, the environment of Arida Manor is also suitable for growing other high-quality temperate crops, especially tree tomatoes and some uncommon high-altitude fruits. Interestingly, the taste of these fruits can also be found in Arida Manor coffee.

According to Qianjie, Arida Manor has a long history of growing Panamanian coffee. Arida Manor is the most famous manor of the Lamastus family. It was founded in 1918. Since Robert Lamastus, the founder of the Lamastus family coffee farm, planted the first coffee tree, it has gone through a century and witnessed the popularity of boutique coffee around the world.

Until now, Alida Manor has been passed on by the descendants of the Lamastus family, including the owner Mr. Wilford, the son of Wilford's father Thatcher,Wilford / fourth-generation successor Wilford Jr. As a traditional coffee family, coffee has been integrated into their family genes. Wilford was born on a small coffee farm, and his parents were also born on a coffee farm, which now produces Panamanian coffee from Arida Manor, Donkey Manor and Louito Manor.

In addition to the unique ultra-high altitude and microclimate, Mr. Wilford, the owner of the manor, has also made considerable efforts in harvesting and processing. In order to meet the highest standard, the coffee at Elida Manor is only allowed to pick the most ripe coffee fruit (Ripe on Pinton) by hand with high maturity and natural high sugar content of pectin, which is also the basis for producing high-quality Elida flavor.

Mr. Wilford, the owner of the estate, in addition to the extremely strict treatment of coffee cultivation, the "purification" of raw beans is also more stringent than those of the same industry. In the case of Erida Manor in Panama, it takes more than 5 months of low temperature Resting to remove green after raw beans are processed, so that the flavor of coffee can be more balanced and full development. Qianjie thinks this is one of the reasons why the coffee beans of Manor Erida in Panama are so delicious.
