耶路撒冷莊園

關於莊園

耶路撒冷莊園座落於瓜西基羅(Guajiquiro)這個小城鎮，距離瑪爾卡拉幾公里外。狄奧尼西奧·克鲁兹(Dionicio Cruz)和他父親维克托·克鲁兹(Victorio Cruz)好幾年前就開始經營耶路撒冷莊園，他們種植了像是鐵皮卡、卡杜艾、波旁等品種。依據天氣狀況，會從三種傳統處理法挑選出一種處理咖啡豆 ; 通常當他們做水洗處理法時，會讓咖啡事先去果皮發酵24個小時。

”我們知道為了要產出最優質的咖啡，我們必須要穩固種植技術並且運用在不同咖啡品種上。“ 維克托這樣說道。“每一年我們都會使用一定量的有機肥料，這會直接影響我們的咖啡品質。”

莊主介紹

狄奧尼西奧·克鲁兹

我的一生都獻給了農業，尤其是咖啡。我是一個非常有熱情而且努力工作的第三代莊主，在我們家族生產咖啡之前我們有種植蔬菜、玉米、豆類等等的其他農作物。

隨著我們的成長，我開始專注於咖啡，並且嘗試多種加工技術。直至今日，我們的咖啡達到較高的杯測分數，也開始銷售到亞洲的國家像是台灣及日本。

未來期望

我的夢想是持續獲取如何處理發酵咖啡的知識及學習更多的技術，同時擴大商業營運並且擁有更多的太陽能乾燥機。

我的目標是持續推廣我的咖啡，希望能夠變成宏都拉斯其中一個最棒的莊主！

我們盡最大的努力去維持高品質的咖啡豆，希望有一天我能夠見到台灣的烘焙師們，和他們分享我的經驗及想法。

ABOUT THE FARM

At the heart of Honduras, nestled in the rolling hills near the small town of Guajiquiro, lies the picturesque coffee farm "Jerusalen." For generations, the Cruz family, led by father and son duo Dionicio and Victorio, have dedicated themselves to the cultivation and production of some of the finest Honduran Coffee.

Utilizing a range of exceptional coffee varieties such as typica, catuai, and bourbon, the Cruz family is constantly experimenting with the different methods of processing to achieve the perfect balance of flavor and aroma. Whether it's the traditional natural, washed or honey process, the Cruz's are committed to using only the finest organic fertilizers to enhance the taste of their Honduran Coffee beans.

WHO’S THE FARMER

Dionicio Cruz

At the heart of "Farm Jerusalen" lies a deep passion for Honduran Coffee, passed down through generations. As a third-generation farmer, I grew up immersed in the world of agriculture, and have always been driven by a love of hard work. Though my family and I have dabbled in a variety of crops, my focus has always been on coffee production. Over the years, we've experimented with different processing techniques, perfecting our craft and earning recognition in the form of high cupping scores. Today, our delicious Honduran coffees can be found on the tables of coffee lovers in countries like Taiwan and Japan.

FARMER’S DREAMS

My passion for coffee runs deep in my roots, as a third-generation farmer, I've dedicated my life to cultivating and perfecting the art of producing high-quality Honduran Coffee. My dream is to continue to push the boundaries and gain knowledge in fermented coffee processing, as well as expand our operations to include more solar dryers on our farm. My ultimate goal is to showcase the excellence of our coffee and make a name for myself as one of the top Honduran coffee farmers in the industry.

We make our best effort in order to obtain high quality coffee. I’ll like to meet Taiwanese roasters one day and be able to share my experience and thoughts with them.
