Clean and fragrant Illetta Estate Fine Coffee Bean Variety Planting Market Price Introduction

Geisha, sweeping the coffee world with the power of a hurricane, the coffee revolution is so fierce that the blue mountains of Jamaica and Kona of Hawaii, which have long occupied the throne of the coffee kingdom, have to stay away. This wild species, which originated in Ethiopia, is now widely used in major coffee producing areas after numerous battles, and its best spokesman is the "LaEsmeralda" estate from Panama.

History of Esmeralda Farm: founded by Hans Elliot, a Swede, in 1924, Esmeralda Farm was not a coffee grower but a ranch. Forty years later, in 1964, Mr. Danielupidason's grandfather, Ruth Lover. Mr. Bidasson bought Esmeralda Farm in order to have an old home after retirement. His grandfather, Mr. Ruth Lover Bidasson, was born in Sweden and was president of the Bank of America and director of United Nations development. His son, Mr. Brais Bidarsson, moved to Panama from California in 1973 and inherited to run his father's farm. In 1987, most of the farms were changed to grow coffee. In 1994, he invested in the machinery and equipment of refined coffee in order to create a brand. Mr. Brais Bidarson and his wife Susan also raised three children, Elligu (born in Philadelphia in 1966). Rachel Lou (born in Sweden in 1967) and Danielu (born in Panama in 1974).

Central America is a long isthmus from northern Mexico to southern Colombia, connecting North and South America. Panama is located in the southernmost part of Central America, so the country runs from east to west, not from north to south as people think. This means that the coast of the Caribbean (Atlantic) is in its north, while the Pacific is in the south.

Panama is by far the narrowest country that shares the Atlantic and Pacific coastlines. And this has a far-reaching impact on coffee production. In the coffee-producing area of Chiriqu í, the hometown of world-famous estates such as Hacienda La Esmeralda, Elida Estate, Finca Nuguo, and Finca La Mula, it is only 60-70 kilometers from the sea.

Panama has one of the highest volcanoes in Central America: Mount Baru. The Baru volcano has an altitude of more than 3474 meters, and the surrounding land is nutritious and balanced, providing sufficient conditions for the sowing and cultivation of Panamanian coffee. Cold air streams converge and flow above 2262 meters in the Central Mountains, creating a variety of microclimates in the Bouquete and Volcan regions. The microclimate of the Panamanian highlands, as well as fertile soil, abundant precipitation, suitable temperature and height, have become a unique resource for the cultivation of quality coffee in Panama. Bokuidi is a small town in the westernmost province of Chiriki in Panama. it has always been the most high-profile coffee producing area in Panama, and the surrounding mountains are known as the "promised land for coffee". The coffee paradise of Panama has given birth to a lot of high-quality coffee and created many top coffee estates. there are numerous coffee stars, some of which are enough to make coffee gluttons salivate. This time, I would like to share with you the La Esmeralda Manor, that is, the Emerald Manor in Bokuidi. And Elida Manor.

Feicui Manor is famous for its Geisha variety. Rose summer seeds were discovered in the rose summer forests of Ethiopia in 1931 and sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya, and then introduced to Uganda, Tanzania and Costa Rica, all mediocre. It was not until it was transplanted to Panama in the 1960s that it became a blockbuster after nearly half a century. Beat Bourbon, Kaddura, Kaduai and Tibica on BOP (Best of Panama) in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and won the championship for three years in a row. In 2007, the International famous Bean Cup Test sponsored by the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) won the championship again, and the bidding price was sold at US $130 per pound, setting a record for the highest price in the history of competition beans. Rosa, a member of the Tibika family, grew into the king of coffee in the land of Panama after leaving Ethiopia. It successfully conquered the taste buds with rich floral and fruity aromas and bright acidity.
