Costa Rica's Shumava Estate is a very young estate; Francisco Mena, who was originally engaged in the coffee trade, bought the land and kept most of the original forest, only a small part of which was developed as a coffee growing area to maintain the natural ecological balance of the estate. Shumava Estate is located between 1670 and 1790 meters above sea level, in another well-known producing area of Costa Rica-the Western Valley, with high temperature differences and fertile soil, which is very suitable for coffee cultivation.
Manor owner Francisco Mena introduced a premium variety that entered the top 13 in the Extraordinary Cup, a Bourbon mutant variety, Vera Saki. This is a rare breed bred by crossing red bourbon trees. Strong wind resistance, likes high altitude environment, has excellent acidity and a variety of old fruit aroma, high sweetness, bright and delicate citrus acid aroma and a lower raisin and nut aroma, high complexity and balance. Most of the estates were left to forests to preserve their natural environment. He had also spent a lot of effort on the tidying up of the manor. Instead of burning broken wood, rotten wood, weeds, etc., he had broken the wood into pieces and mixed them with organic fertilizer to be used as fertilizer on the farm.
