Lot 16: Amber Coffee Estate Chen, Ho-Te
Lot Pricing Information
Located at 1100 meters above sea level in Meishan Township of
Chiayi County, Amber Coffee Estate has been passed down through
five generations of owner Ho-Te Chen’s family. Chen explains
the name comes from the fact that everything his family has grown
(tea, camellia oil, honey, and coffee) looks like liquid
amber.
Chen took over the family farm and began growing coffee when his
father took ill. As a man of science, he combines sensory analysis
and genetic analysis to select his crops. According to him, the
current goal of Amber Coffee Estate is the genetic purification of
its geisha plants. He has been slowly eliminating the plants with
genetic problems and only keeping the ones that are problem-free.
He is also experimenting with different processing methods. Chen is
confident his coffee products will continue to improve, and he
hopes to expand his genetic analysis to his SL-34 as well.
