The characteristics of geisha coffee beans and the historical origin of geisha coffee

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

A very rare wild variety originating in Ethiopia.

The name of the bean may come from this coffee bean found near the local village called geisha.

Coffee trees are tall, with slender leaves, and are not afraid of coffee rust.

Characterized by wide spacing of branches on the trunk.

The appearance of raw beans is slender, and ripe beans have strong and strong fruit aroma characteristics.

I personally feel that there is a strong sweet smell of roasted sweet potato, which is my favorite.

Because the harvest of this variety is very low, it can not be purchased by commercial trade.

Such a small amount of cultivation in Panama, Jamaica, Malawi, Kenya, Guatemala and other countries.

In fact, the story of geisha began as early as 1931. An Englishman collects coffee beans in a forest near Mount Rosa in southwestern Ethiopia. In 1932, the coffee beans were exported to Kenya. He was transplanted to Panama in the 1960s. French biologist Jean-PierreLabouisse examined the clue and found that the coffee beans originally marked geisha Mountain come from different trees, which means it is not just a kind of geisha coffee.

The tortuous life experience seems to have brewed geisha will be a legend. Since 2005, businessmen have been taking part in coffee competitions with geisha, which became a blockbuster, winning the first prize of the Panamanian National Treasure Bean Cup Test Competition in 2005, 2006 and 2007. geisha, from Jade Manor, also became the most expensive coffee bean in the world from 2006 to 2010. To this day, however, the output of Geisha is still very small. Its planting conditions are very harsh. The Emerald Manor is also planted on a high mountain of 1700 meters. It needs more light than ordinary coffee trees, and the gap between the trees is particularly large. In the coffee industry as a whole, roses are grown by less than 1%.

These are the reasons why Rose Xia is charming. For Sanjie, taste is his pursuit.

He has tasted coffee beans all over the world, and Geisha became his favorite.
