What's the difference between a geisha and a rose?

Same thing, pronounced from Japanese for "geisha."

What species does summer belong to?

La Esmeralda typically divides its Rosedale portfolio into three batches-red, green and blue.

Some of the red-label lots were bidding lots for Emerald Manor, and some were lots sold directly by Emerald Manor, including lots that would appear in the auction such as sun exposure and washing.

At Emerald Manor, quality control begins with careful guidance to farmers who pick fresh fruit. Pickers will also be paid a premium to pick only fully ripe, bright red coffee.

During the preparation phase, fresh coffee is carefully inspected for any rotting fruit or green beans. It takes a lot of time to process details and study how to present a good feel, which makes Emerald Manor stand out and it is easy to distinguish it from other coffee producers in the world.

Our latest rose summer is the jade special selection in Emerald Manor, also known as bidding rose summer, bidding batch (Special-Geisha): represents the preferred batch of Emerald Manor, planting altitude above 1550 meters (even higher than 1900 meters), and cup test scores are above 90 points.

Emerald Manor is an extremely experimental estate, comparing 400 coffee varieties, sample processing and cup testing every year, and selecting the varieties that perform well in the cup test (this is how summer was discovered). This innovative experimental treatment has lots that cannot even be found at auction.

Emerald red label has three main characteristics:

1. Strong traceability: each batch can be traced back to the picking date, specific plot, plot age, etc.;

2. Altitude: All batches are above 1600 meters, some above 1900 meters;

3. Cup test score: The cup test score must reach 90 points (SCAA standard) or more to be called a red mark.

In 1931, a group of botanists visited southern Ethiopia and discovered the summer bean near Gesha village. The tree was quite tall and the seeds were larger than ordinary Ethiopian beans. They took the seeds to Kenya, planted them in nurseries, and five years later, they took fruit from the healthiest samples and took it to Uganda and Tanzania. In 1953, Costa Rican research institute CATIE obtained seeds from Tanzania for research.

The first to bring Crescia from Costa Rica to Panama was Pachi Serracin, the old owner of Don Patch Manor, in 1963, but Crescia was initially unpopular in Panama, with low yields and poor economic returns, only mixed with other coffee varieties for sale. Some rose trees can be found on every estate, and some even serve as windbreaks in coffee gardens. It wasn't until after 2000 that Peterson, Jr. of Emerald Manor, discovered that the rose summer flavor was so appealing that they weren't sure consumers would accept it.

Best Panama in 2003, Emerald Manor won the first place of the year by virtue of Rose Summer. The strong and complex flavor surprised all the judges. Over the next decade, rose summer won every green bean race, and coffee farmers in Central and South America, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Colombia and others, began to grow rose summer. Although there is still a gap between the flavor and Panama, Guixia is like a golden bean among coffee beans, and everyone does not want to miss it.

Others hoped to trace the origins of rose summer, organizing expeditions deep into the primeval forests of southwest Ethiopia, but in the end it was agreed that Panama seemed to be the best place in the world to grow rose summer. Different treatments also bring different flavors to Rose Summer, from washing at the beginning to sun and honey treatment later, which is more delicate and complicated.

What is the difference between Guixia Village and ordinary Ethiopian manor? What do OMA and SURMA refer to in batch numbers? What do the numbers 51, 72 and 59 mean? What is the difference between Gesha1931 and Gori Gesha?

Manor Background

Adam Overton and Samuel Rachel have been growing Ethiopian roses on nearly 500 hectares of Guixia since 2011, with the sole goal of producing the best coffee in the world. Starting in 2008, after three years of searching, they finally found an environmental system suitable for coffee growth in the tropical rain forest, suitable climate, fertile forest soil and ancient forests at an altitude of 1900-2100 meters.

In 2015, Guixia Village Coffee Estate has completed coffee planting of 300 hectares and will continue to increase by 50 hectares in 2016. The summer rose seed selection comes from the native coffee forest (Gori Gesha) 20 km from the estate, which is also the source of the summer rose variety in Panama. Under the guidance of Willem Boot, the coffee of Guixia Village has won many world competitions.

High traceability and quality control

Unlike most Ethiopian coffee exports, which need to go through ECX (Ethiopian Commodity Exchange) or cooperatives. Due to its size of nearly 500 hectares, Guixia Village Coffee Estate can be treated and exported independently as a single estate. Therefore, it has traceability unmatched by other Ethiopian raw beans.

Each batch of raw beans can be traced back to its specific plot, variety, age, picking date, length of sun (washing) treatment and other links, effectively ensuring the transparency of each link and the possibility of quality control.

What is the difference between Gori Gesha and Gesha1931?

Gori Gesha and Gesha 1931 refer to the varieties planted.

There are three varieties planted in Guixia Village: Gori Gesha, Gesha 1931 and Illubabor Forest. The first two species are Guixia, while Illubabor Forest is a resistant variety provided by Ethiopian Research Institute.

Gori Gesha is a rose summer variety from Gori Gesha, a wild coffee forest near the estate, which covers the diversity of rose summer genes, so it is named after the forest.

Gesha 1931 was selected from several rosewood varieties in the Gori Gesha Forest and is the closest to Panama rosewood. The selection of varieties depends on the morphology of coffee plants, the appearance of coffee beans and the results of cup testing. Gesha 1931 is also named because 1931 was the same year that the summer rose variety was discovered in Ethiopia.

What do OMA, SURMA, etc. stand for?

The estate is divided into plots of nearly 500 hectares according to different varieties and microclimates (as shown in the following figure):

Thus, the varieties are distributed as follows:

Planting Gori Gesha: Shewa-Jibabu; Shaya, Bangi;

Planting Gesha 1931: Surma; Oma; Narsha;

Planting Illubabor Forest: Dimma; Gaylee

What do the numbers in the batch name mean?

At this time, we should start to talk about the traceability of Guixia Village in detail.

Picking date data of some batches of Guixia Village from 2016 to 2017 (picture: bidding data of Guixia Village)

Take the solarization batch of OMA plot of Japanese champion Kiyuki Ishiya as an example (see above). Gesha 1931 is planted in this plot, and the interior of the plot is divided into 5 solar batches of 51, 72, 77, 86 and 90. The closer the area is, the closer its maturity and picking period are. In addition, OMA #27 indicates that the lot is a one-to-one washing batch (limited location, not reflected in the above picture). Ishigani's competition beans are OMA#51 bidding lots, and Grand Cru Coffee ordered one of the lots as OMA#72.

After several cup tests and screening, Grand Cru Coffee selected three distinctive solar batches and purchased them in batches, of which the first batch of Surma #85 and Shewa-Jibabu #59 were sold out; the second batch of replenishment Shewa-Jibabu #59 was the same batch and Oma #72 was the same batch.

The specific cup flavors are as follows:

1 Shewa-Jibabu#59 Same Lot (Gori Gesha)

This batch has outstanding sweetness, obvious strawberry, peach, papaya and other flavors, and delicate flower fragrance, taste as thick as cream;

2 Oma #72 from Gesha 1931

This batch is a sugary fruit; intense floral fragrance, high complexity;

The above two batches of rose summer are treated by solarization. First remove floating impurities, and then with African overhead scaffolding covered with film, plastic cloth, the total drying time of 18-30 days.
