A variety [Geisha] evolved from Arabica species

It is a native subpopulation of Ethiopia, with large bean shape and a unique caffeine variety of Panama. In recent years, it has been known as the boutique queen in just a few years. At present, the output is low and the price is high. The auction price of 2013 is the highest in the history of $350.25USD. Coffee farmers say they have only discovered it in recent years, but this is not the case. It appeared in Panama as early as 1960, and there are many seeds in many breeding units in Panama.

In fact, Geisha1931 was found in Gesha in southwestern Ethiopia, where there are many different names. In 1931 and 1932, it was exported to Kenya under the name Abyssinian and Geisha, respectively. In 1936, Kenya took the harvested Geisha seeds to Uganda and Tanzania for planting. In July 1953, Tanzania sent the offspring tree to Costa Rica, while the mother plant stayed in her own country. In 1960, Geisha was formally cultivated through CATIE (Tropical Agronomic Center for Research and Education) Panama.

The tree is thin and tall (up to 15 feet), with spreading branches and leaves, long green and red leaves, and late fruit. Resistant to leaf rust, susceptible to berry disease and nematode, small fruit, medium and low yield.

The Panamanian Rose Summer T2722 is unique and is seen as a choice of coffee from another dimension. It is like Sichuan Pepper or Sun Ra Arkestra Jazz Orchestra, complex and otherworldly. Rosa coffee is expensive in addition to high altitude and limited yield, but also because it is difficult to grow. Compared with other varieties, foliar photosynthesis is very weak, root system is not developed, and the ability to absorb water and nutrients is also weak. A rose summer plant produces only half as much beans as Catuai, which may be why it produces a unique flavor.

In order to highlight the characteristics and aroma of Rosa Rosa, the baking degree is on the verge of second explosion, which is more commonly used, which can give full play to the characteristics of beans. If it is too shallow, it will produce miscellaneous smell, and if it is too deep, it will lose the aroma of flowers and fruit acid.

The dry aroma of Rosa is very bright, with aromas of rose and jasmine, with aromas of pomelo and citrus, light baked with nutty aromas, wet aromas of hazelnut and more floral characters. In terms of taste and flavor, compared with the previously rising aroma, it can be slightly mild and reserved, a little cooler, and the flower and fruit flavor gradually increases with the decrease of temperature, and the cold aroma is excellent (sweet preserved fruit, rose fruit, orange grapefruit jam, strawberry jam, silk pine, cherry, vanilla and rose gradually fade, leading to lemon aromas).

This is a coffee that can be praised by a large number of adjectives, the sweetness of Hui Gansi, which is testing the brightness of this coffee, especially in the case of shallow roasting.

The genetic diversity of offspring is uniform and stable, and it is picky in a narrow microclimate, only growing when, where and how they want it. But whether you grow it in Indonesia or in America, it is always completely itself.

The beans produced at high altitude have a good aroma, sweet and clean in finish, with aromas of Moli flowers, oolong tea, peach and honey, and bright sour fruits, such as tamarind, mango, the whole aroma and caramel sweetness. the tip of the tongue feels sour at the entrance, but it is mild and round in the mouth, sweet and sweet in the mouth, and it also has the finish of mandarin. The lower the temperature, the finer the acidity. The charm is quite long-lasting.

Special can be compared with Ethiopian water-washed beans. But its flavor changes rapidly in different cultivation areas, and it can only be planted on a 1200-meter hillside in order to maintain its characteristics. Caffeine content is 30% less than most Arabica varieties.
