A brief introduction to the flavor, taste and aroma characteristics of boutique coffee beans in Panamanian Flint Manor with rich soil.

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 the 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.

Located in the high mountain area of Sao Paulo near the Minas border, 1200 to 1400 meters above sea level, the annual rainfall is more than 1800 mm, but it will not cause torrential rain, and the average annual temperature is only 19 ℃. Therefore, the growth of bean fruit is slightly slow, but the texture density is enough, although the yield is less, but the aroma and flavor is not ordinary Brazilian plateau beans can look at its back, this manor is mainly bourbon species, even more than 110years old bourbon species.

Coffee was first introduced to Brazil in the early 18th century. In 1727, the Brazilian government sent a personable army officer to secretly bring coffee seeds back to Brazil from French Gaiana under the pretext of mediating border disputes. It is said that the governor's wife of French Gayana was so fascinated by the officer that she secretly brought coffee tree seeds to him at a farewell dinner party. At present, 2 million hectares of land in Brazil is used to grow coffee, and the largest is Arabica. These beans will eventually be sent to large bakers in various countries, also known as Santos (in the name of the port of export santos, not the producing area).

Fazenda Rainha (Queen Farm) is located in the Alta Mogiana area of Sao Paulo Paulo, north of the city of Sao Paulo. This manor is well-known in Brazil and is owned by the Carvalho Dias family. Since the first Brazilian COE competition in 1999, Carvalho Dias has won awards every year, winning more than 12 times in the past seven years, and even arranged for the champion, 9th, 11th, and so on in 2004. Many manors of various sizes in Brazil have been hoping to be shortlisted for many years, but it is difficult to get them. And Queen's Manor (Fazenda Rainha) enjoys a brilliant record: 2000 runner-up, 2001 second runner-up, 2005 29th place, so far, Queen's Manor has won three awards. Yellow bourbon beans are sweet and clean in nature, and their use in the sun (or half-sun) will make them slightly less sour, but combine well with sweetness and have tropical fruit aromas.

The Baru volcano has an altitude of more than 11400 feet, and the land around it is rich in nutritious and fertile soil, providing sufficient conditions for the sowing and cultivation of coffee endemic to Panama.

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.
