How outstanding is the Panamanian Jade Manor Red Standard Roxia 9?

Driven by the third wave of coffee, Panamanian Rose Summer has become one of the most eye-catching boutique coffee beans nowadays. Because of its unique fragrance of flowers and sweet fruit, it has won countless people's fascination with it, and even subverted the traditional perception of coffee in people's minds.

The Jade Manor of Panama (La Esmeralda), located on the hillside of Mount Baru, the highest peak of Boquete in western Panama, has a temperate climate, fertile volcanic soil, appropriate rainfall and changeable microclimate, making it a natural perfect place for coffee cultivation.

So far, Emerald Manor has won 13 coffee competitions, setting three highest bidding records of US $21 in 2004, US $50.25 in 2006 and US $130 in 2007. (one pound), at the 2013 auction of the best coffee in Panama, the sunburnt summer at the Emerald Manor sold for $350.25 per pound.

Earlier, I shared an article called "Panamanian Coffee, the delicacy of the Highland microclimate." in this article, it describes some of the more famous producing areas and estates in Panama. It also focuses on the summer species of Panamanian roses in the Emerald Manor.

The "red standard", the rose summer of the bidding batch, belongs to the highest grade; the "green standard" belongs to the private collection of the jadeite manor; the "blue standard" is the rose summer of the daily mass production of the jadeite manor. Today, what I would like to share with you is the beans from the Jadeite Manor Hongbiao Rose Xia 9. I still remember the cup of coffee from the Jade Manor Red Biao Rose Xia No. 3 drunk in the 501 Hangzhou Mansion. I was amazed by the obvious smell of lychee.

The red bid rose summer of Feicui Manor is a competitive bean, and it is rare to drink this bean in a brick-and-mortar cafe in Hangzhou. This time the shared beans also come from half a beautiful lotus. It is suggested that you can also match a thermometer when cooking, which can monitor the temperature change in the cooking process, but I personally think that the pointer temperature I use now is not very easy to use, the reading speed is too slow and there are some errors. It's better to use an electronic thermometer.

Rose summer coffee beans have a very obvious feature, that is, compared with other coffee beans, it is relatively slender, in many coffee beans, it and Mantenin's recognition degree is the highest (Mantenin is usually the most powerful and magnificent one).

It is said that as long as it is a person who is intoxicated in the coffee world, I believe that no one knows the name of Rose Summer, it seems to have a beauty that melts your soul. Even if you have never drunk it, the first time your nose smells it and your tongue tastes it, you will fall in love with it instantly. Even if you can't describe it to others, the word "tasty" has been deeply engraved in your heart.

So, what is the good thing about Rose Summer? On what basis did it defeat the queens of the traditional coffee world (the Blue Mountains of Jamaica and Kona, Hawaii).

1. The past Life and present Life of Rose Summer

It was discovered in Mount Rosa in southwestern Ethiopia as early as 1931. Over the next few decades, it traveled to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Costa Rica. It was not until 1970 that Rosa was introduced in Panama. But the rosy summer at that time was still like a girl who was too delicate, and its beauty had not yet attracted the eyes of the world.

The more tortuous the experience, the more amazing legends will be created. Since Rose Xia participated in the Panamanian national treasure bean cup test competition in 2005, it has been a blockbuster for three years in a row, and won the champion of the international famous bean cup test contest of the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) in 2007.

After that, because of the excellent flavor of the rose summer, the Panamanian national treasure bean cup test competition changed the rules and divided the selection into the rose summer group and the non-rose summer group. In order to prevent Rose Xia from becoming a winning general and making the whole game meaningless. Due to its rising fame and sparse production, the Panamanian Emerald Manor Rose Summer, which took part in the bidding from 2006 to 2010, is the most expensive coffee bean in the world.

two。 The flavor of rose summer

Rosa peas are long and moist, with hints of peach, grass and berries. The rosy summer with excellent baking can show its pure but extremely rich aroma, raising the aroma of flowers and fruit to a higher level.

With a little sip, the full but clean aroma of flowers and fruits will instantly fill the mouth and throat. Bright and beautiful, such as the flavor of brilliant spring, people admire incomparably.

Under the influence of different weather, soil and altitude, the rose summer of different producing areas will be different. The animal king's favorite is the rose summer with charming aromas of citrus, lemon and honey. Ice will make the flowers hold the pipa and half cover the shy face, but after the return of a trace of honey, the aroma of lemon and citrus is extremely refreshing.

3. The main producing areas of Rose Summer

Panama:

It can be said that there are only two kinds of rosy summers in the world, the rosy summers of the Emerald Manor and other rosy summers.

Panamanian Emerald Manor Esmeralda Manor (Panama Geisha Hacienda La Esmeralda) can be said to be the most famous rose summer, since 2005, the Emerald Manor's rose summer has won more than a dozen world coffee competitions. The rosy summer of the jadeite manor is generally divided into three levels, namely, red mark, blue mark and green mark.

Red Standard Rose Summer (ESMERALDA SPECIAL), which grows at an altitude of 1600-1800 meters, is one of the fine products, which is refined in both sun and water washing. generally, the cup test score is 90 cents, and it is a batch that participates in global bidding auctions every year, so it is very expensive.

The green standard (Esmeralda Private Collection) also grows at a high altitude of 1600-1800 meters, but the cup score is slightly lower than that of the red standard, about 88.

Blue Standard (ESMERALDA 1500), which grows at about 1500 meters above sea level, is the variety with the largest supply among several varieties, and the refining method is generally only washing.

Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica:

In addition to Panama, Colombia, Guatemala and Costa Rica are also famous places for summer roses. Compared with the price of Emerald Manor, Colombian Hope Manor Rose Summer and Costa Rican Goddess Manor Rose Summer flavor is also quite good, but the price is only red rose summer 1max 3, it is well worth a try.

4. How to drink a good cup of rose summer

If you have all the equipment on hand, it is recommended that you try a variety of extraction methods from hand flushing, siphon to French pressure and Ailo pressure to find your favorite taste.

The animal gentleman most recommends to use the hand flush and the Philharmonic pressure way, here provides my favorite method, for your reference, the beans used are all the rosy summer of the non-competition batch of the Jade Manor.

Hand flushing: 40g powder, 450 water, 88 degrees water temperature, 2 minutes (adjusted according to the filtration speed of the filter cup used)

Palate: at the beginning, the palate has a feeling of high-grade Yega, with bright acidity, followed by a lingering bouquet of flowers and other aromas, with a sweet finish of citrus and lemon, a favorite of the animal king.

Philharmonic pressure: powder 30g, water 350, water temperature 87 degrees, time 1 minute

Taste: if the hand is a rich and layered feeling, then the Philharmonic pressure out of the cup has an indescribable sense of balance, flower and fruit aromas are harmoniously intertwined, but also very intoxicating.
