  Apollo estate, where Sunvirtue comes into being, is our own coffee production site. Located in scenic Dalat, Vietnam at an altitude of 1,000 meters, Apollo estate has infrequent landform of the smooth plateau with more than 20 hectares of the coffee farm. Although the temperature difference between day and night is over 10℃, the weather at Apollo estate is like spring all the year round with clear dry season and wet season. The nearby lakes cause the microclimate and enrich the laterite soil to be more fertile, Apollo estate grows all high quality Arabica coffee trees, which is differ from the local Vietnamese growers who are used to planting Robusta coffee trees.
  The high altitude and temperature difference extended the mature period of the coffee berries, thus, the estate-grown coffee from Apollo Farm show the elegant floral smell with strong fruit sweet and sour, delicate chocolate mouthfeel and perfect finish.

In the greenhouse, first, there is no need to worry about the sudden downpour; besides, the indoor circumstance with temperature controlled system can improve the quality and the dried situation of the coffee beans; moreover, the goods ventilation in the greenhouse can increase the bean-dried efficiency, the moisture and the dew will no longer cause the affection; at last, the higher shelving provide the better convection to make the coffee beans can be dried even, and also its solid structure can stand the workers to step on it to stir the coffee every 2 hours from day to night.
  At Apollo estate, except for the original variety of Arabica, we are still working on Arabica coffee breeding in these years to find more special variety, such as maragogype, yellow bourbon, bourbon, caturra, etc. Few years later, at Apollo estate, we will find plenty of new variety coffee trees that can upgrade our coffee quality to a better level.
