A brief introduction to the Louise Manor of Panamanian Rose Summer Coffee with strong layers of aroma

The Emerald Manor of Panama (La Esmeralda) is located in the corner of the Baru volcano, so the coffee beans produced in this area are mostly named after Baru Mountain, and the area around Boquete is scenic. There are many leisure hotels, villa, resort estates, and even along the important river Rio Caldera. La Esmeralda is located on the right side of the river in Jaramillo, and then grows coffee in the higher elevation area of Ca?as Verdes on the left side of the river, thanks to Rudolph Peterson's decision to buy the industry.

[flavor description]: oolong tea, peach, honey, fresh and comfortable, bright and balanced, the aroma is extremely layered, the whole aroma and caramel sweetness are wrapped together, the tip of the tongue feels sour obviously, just mild and round in the mouth, the fruit is sweet and sweet, like swallowing a mouthful of fresh fruit tea, sweet and fragrant. The lower the temperature, the finer the acidity. Charm is also quite long-lasting, let people feel good satisfaction!

La Esmeralda Manor has won 12 coffee competitions so far, and the highest bidding record for three times in online open bidding is US $21 in 2004, US $50.25 in 2006 and US $130 in 2007. Of course, other countries have also raced a pound of good coffee close to $50 (Brazil's CoE champion Fazenda Santa inflows in 2005) and Guatemala CoE champion El Injerto $80.20 in 2008, but you pay attention to the time point, that is, when La Esmeralda set a record price, there was no bid to surpass her before, but she will surpass others and say she is a record creator, no fluke!

La Esmeralda Manor was bought by Price Peterson's father, Rudolph A. Peterson, a Swedish banker. He was the president of Bank of America and was a big shot in the financial circle at that time. Rudolph bought Hacienda La Esmeralda only for vacation and later retirement. It should not have been expected that the estate would become world-famous and even become the representative of Panamanian boutique coffee estate. Price took over according to altitude and micro-climate. And according to the cup test performance and planting varieties, the market is divided into three major brands to sell (Esmeralda Special,Diamond Mountain grows,Palmyra)

Palmyra (Rainforest Alliance Certification) this brand of coffee is grown in Catuai near the Baru Volcano Park. It has a typical Panamanian Bouqete high-altitude coffee flavor. Sour will not be too exciting, sweet nuts and vanilla chocolate flavor. S of nuts, Palmyra is actually the highest yield of La Esmeralda coffee, accounting for about 70% of the total family coffee production

Elida Manor is located in the Pokuit producing area of Chiriki Province, the western border province of Panama. The most famous landmark and tourist attraction of the province is the Baru volcano, which is 3300 meters above sea level. Baru volcano is one of the highest volcanoes in Central America, with a total area of about 14000 hectares. It can be divided into seven different microclimate zones according to altitude, within which there are many rare plants, birds and mammals. The Pokuit region is located on the eastern side of Mount Baru, a valley of lava flowing through Panama, next to another well-known coffee producing area in Panama, the Vulcan Valley (Volcan Valley).

Pokuit has always been the most high-profile coffee producing area in Panama, and there are many famous estates in the region-such as Esmeralda, which is famous for the Geisha variety World War I, Hartman, Mama Cata, Kotowa and Santa Teresa, which are always victorious by Best of Panama. Alida Manor itself is also a heavyweight star manor in Pokuit-has won Best of Panama awards for the past five years in a row, second only to Jade Manor. Elida Manor has a total area of 65 hectares, more than half of which are located within the Baru Volcano National Park, 30 hectares of the estate are planted with coffee trees, and the remaining 35 hectares are virgin forests. Coffee is grown from 1670 to 1850 meters above sea level, making it one of the two highest coffee farms in Panama (the other estate with these elevations should be 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 excellent microclimate brought by the Baru volcano, Elida Manor was able to achieve good results in cup test competitions. In addition to creating good coffee cultivation conditions, the Lamastus family, which runs the Elida estate, has also planted many different native tree species on the estate, not only to shade the coffee trees, but also to provide a friendly habitat for birds. In terms of fertilization, the Lamastus family uses artificial fertilization and a small amount of chemical fertilizers, but never uses pesticides and herbicides that are harmful to the environment. At present, in addition to Catuai, Typica and Bourbon, the Lamastus family also began to plant Geisha varieties a few years ago. In spite of this, Elida Manor used Catuai in all the batches of Best of Panama competition, but achieved good results again and again, which shows the excellent quality and special flavor of coffee brought by its geographical environment and excellent postharvest treatment technology.
