Geisha stories are both revival and progress. This is a bridge between a rich history and a bright and fast-changing future in the coffee world. The tree and the beans it produces suddenly become a lighthouse pointing to the coffee landscape we all want to see, and a cup of geisha allows us to see coffee as close to perfection as possible, which is a sensory ecstasy. It's an inspiring feeling.

No other coffee likes it better. This is a very aromatic coffee, once the water on the cup, you will notice-you can immediately find sweet flowers, citrus flowers, jasmine and sweet aromas. A bergamot-like finish and a unique, although subtle acidity is its typical cup outline.

The story of Rose Summer begins in Ethiopia, the birthplace of Arabica and the only wild species on earth. As early as 1931, a group of botanists explored the forests of southwestern Ethiopia (then known as Abyssinia) to collect coffee seeds in what locals call "geisha". The seeds were taken to Kenya and planted in nurseries. Five years later, the trees began to bear fruit, with several options taken from the healthiest and most dynamic trees and taken to other gardens in Uganda and Tanzania. Nearly two decades later, in 1953, some geisha seeds from a Tanzanian garden were brought to Costa Rica to join the varieties studied by CATIE, a world-renowned agricultural research center.

Then in 1963, a farmer named Pachi Serracin brought some of these seeds to Panama and planted them in the high-altitude soil of the Boquete volcano. At this point, they are just a curiosity-a "why not?" The proposition-after years of farming, they seem to have been basically abandoned because of their low yield and lack of firmness. Soon after they were forgotten, they became a growing group of weak trees in Caturra and other common Latin varieties.

But it changed in 2003. Daniel Peterson (Daniel Peterson) of Esmeralda Manor noticed that the tree was very different from everything else. Until this point, they are usually harvested with other coffees and mixed to other areas. After harvesting the coffee separately and tasting it in his laboratory, he and his family realized that it tasted very different from anything else. Out of curiosity, they decided to send the coffee to the best game in Panama to see what happened. They are not at all sure whether people will like it or whether it is considered a typical "typical" deviation of Panamanian coffee.

What happened next was the coffee revolution. Of the 25 finalists, one made all the judges happy and confused at the same time. You can smell it from the table-beautiful aromas of jasmine, lemon grass, coffee blossoms, sweet oranges and white peaches floating across the room. The game was over before the game began. This cup of coffee intoxicated everyone on the jury, and it was clear from the beginning that it would win because of the landslide. Then there is a series of performances that help geisha cement itself is more than just a glittering pan. With rare exceptions, this Panamanian geisha coffee has won all the competition in the past decade. To this day, geisha continues to sit on the throne as the defending champion of Latin American coffee style.

Like most coffee, sun-treated rose summer is sweeter and more tea-like than water-washed coffee. And the water washing will be brighter and more elegant.
