Introduction to the main flavor characteristics of high-quality Colombian Cauca boutique coffee beans

The biggest difference in climate between Cauca and other producing areas is probably the relatively large temperature difference, with a daily average temperature of 11 ℃ and a daytime average temperature of 18 ℃. The temperature difference between day and night is an important factor in quality coffee. The low temperature at night and the relatively higher altitude slow down the growth rhythm of coffee, so that coffee seeds and beans can more fully absorb the nutrients of coffee fruits, and also create better acidity and commendable special sweetness of Coca Coffee.

In December 2006, the Hope Manor bought the CerroAzul in Colombia's Cauca Valley, the geographical environment is very close to Poquette, the warm air rising from the Cauca Valley and the cold air from the Pacific meet at the manor. The manor has 20 hectares of arable land between 1700 and 1950 meters above sea level, originally planted with Caturra. In September 2007, 35,000 rose summer trees were planted. Unexpectedly, two months later, some of the saplings died, and Rigoberto's brother wanted to give up, thinking that the wind was too cold for planting and should be changed to cattle pasture. Rigoberto refused to admit defeat, insisted on replanting, and planted windbreaks on the top so that the strong wind would not destroy the coffee shrubs.

The rosy summers survived and won the second place in the annual World Coffee Competition of the American Fine Coffee Association in 2012, and the rosy summers of the other two estates of Hope Manor. A total of three places in the top 10: second, third and seventh, creating an incredible treble.

The coffee planting tradition is mainly manifested in small plots in the tree forest and the unique coffee planting methods adopted by local farmers in order to overcome the adverse effects of the alpine environment. The urban area within the landscape is mainly located on the relatively flat top of the mountain, and the slopes below the top are dotted with coffee fields. The urban architecture is mainly the colonial architecture of Antioquia, which is influenced by Spain. The building materials used in these buildings, which are still used in some areas today, are clay mortar mixed with straw and compressed sugar cane for walls, and clay tiles for roofs.
