Why can the rosy summer of the Emerald Manor be so charming? here in the front street, we have to mention the natural environment of Poquet. The town of Pokuit is famous for its nearby active volcanoes. Its peak is 3475 meters above sea level, which is the highest in Panama. Follow Sendero de los Quetzales (Quetzales road) from Boquete to Cerro Punta and (Punto Hill) and Volcan Baru (Baru Volcano) on the other side of the volcano, while the Caldera River River runs through the town. Therefore, Qianjie believes that the rosy summer of the Jade Manor is not accidental, but the unparalleled flavor of the superior natural environment.

Rosa coffee beans, once rated as one of the "top ten most expensive coffee in the world" by Forbes, have the nickname because Geisha sounds like "geisha" in Japanese. The rise of Rosa coffee beans is undoubtedly the most famous legend in the boutique coffee industry in the millennium. Rose summer coffee beans, also known as rose summer coffee or Yiqiao beans, are actually the same kind of coffee beans, whose name comes from the rose summer forest of Ethiopia.

Rosesia originated from southwestern Ethiopia in Africa. Rosa coffee was introduced from Costa Rica to Panama by Don Pachi Serracin in 1963. Because the yield is not high, it directly affects the harvest, and coffee farmers are not willing to plant it. Until Daniel Peterson, the owner of the Panama La Esmeralda estate in Panama, accidentally found that the coffee beans produced by these geisha coffee trees, which were originally used as windbreaks, at the top of his coffee estate had the unique citrus and flower flavor of African beans, and separated their coffee beans and took part in the 2004 Panama Coffee Bean Cup Test Competition and became popular. Since then, Rose Xiadou has been unstoppable and has been the champion of the Panamanian coffee cup test competition for many years. In the eyes of boutique coffee lovers all over the world, geisha coffee beans are undoubtedly the supreme treasure.

Panamanian Jade Manor

Panama is located in Central America, followed by North and South America, bordering Costa Rica and Colombia. The coffee road in Panama can be said to have come all the way with a golden spoon. As we all know, the Panama Canal was built by the United States and was independently controlled by the United States for some time after it was built. It was the construction of the Panama Canal that caused many American elites to go south at the end of the 20th century, on the one hand, to demand jobs, and on the other to tap business opportunities.

The Emerald Manor is the witness of that era. In 1964, Rudolph Peterson, an American banker, retired, moved to Panama and bought the emerald estate in Poquet, initially dominated by dairy. Then his son Price resigned as a doctor to help his father run the farm, introduced Kaddura and Kaduai coffee beans in 1987, set up a washing plant in 1994, and has had its own coffee processing plant ever since. In 1996, we bought the Jhala Miyou Manor, which has a superior geographical environment and good flavor of the original coffee varieties, and merged it into the Jadeite Manor.

Jhala Miyou Manor is favored by the Petersons because of its original coffee beans, with pleasant aromas of orange and fruit, different from the original flavor of Panamanian coffee. After cup testing of coffee beans in different areas of the garden, it was found that it was an unknown coffee tree born at the top of the manor. because of its low yield, the previous owner only used it as a windbreak tree, but it was excavated by the Petersons and decided to plant and cultivate the coffee trees in the area independently.

After winning the championship of BOP in the Panamanian bean competition in 2004, it was later identified by experts that the coffee bean was a rose summer variety of Ethiopia. Since then, the Peterson family has focused most of its efforts on developing infrastructure to support excellent batch separation and fine processing.

Land division and grade of jadeite manor

Emerald Manor is located in the Pokuit producing area of Panama, which is an important coffee producing area in Panama, and many familiar coffee estates come from this area, such as Alida Manor, Catova Manor and so on. Jade Manor has three estates: Jaramillo, Caas Verdes and El Velo. There are 22 small plots in the three manors, and the rose summer grade of the jadeite manor is based on elevation. To put it simply, the following definitions are made: those below 1500 are blue standards, the mixed harvested ones above 1500 are green marks, and those with clear information on a single plot are red marks. Among them, some red signs will participate in the auction organized by the jadeite manor, which is generally called competitive bidding. But in fact, the bidding is not a level. High-quality Rose Summer is mainly produced in two plots: Jaramillo and Caas Verdess.
