Melastoma Pearl

“Melastoma Coffee Estate” is in the Lalauya village of Alishan. The reason of naming it “Melastoma” is because of it’s a commonly seen flower in the village. It grows well and its flowers can bloom all year round without any special care. Originally, tea was cultivated here. The farm owner also runs a bed and breakfast in the same space. Trying to protect customers from pesticides, he decided to grow coffee instead. The owner said that coffee processing resembles that of tea. Therefore, his tea processing experience can be applied to coffee. The special lot is named also “Pearl” due to specially selected peaberry SL34 varietal, that is known to have better sweetness and well structured body.
