The bidding of Panamanian Jade Manor Rose Summer can be said to be a well-known brand in the coffee industry. Jade Manor is not only the discoverer and promoter of Rose Summer flavor, but also one of the manor representatives with strict requirements in the elevation classification system. Qianjie Coffee believes that to achieve the extreme in this respect is a point that many manors should learn. Qianjie coffee growing area in Yunnan is divided into five different planting areas according to altitude and environment.

Qianjie Coffee sometimes when chatting with guests, guests will ask why the quality of coffee beans is good, first look at its planting altitude. In fact, not only the altitude, but also the variety, treatment and cup test scores, these four aspects are currently the criteria to measure whether a coffee bean belongs to high-quality coffee. The higher the altitude, the higher the grade, the Rosa brand of the Jade Manor is divided according to the altitude, the bidding for Rose Xia is to select the plot with the highest altitude, and the blue mark is the lowest in the Rose Xia grade of the Jade Manor (although it is the lowest, but it's still 1500 meters).

Qianjie Coffee is found not only in Panama, but in other Central American countries, the classification of coffee beans is based on altitude, but the grading method is not as extreme as the jadeite manor, which is divided into three large plots (mainly planting rose summer varieties). On this basis, it is subdivided into more than 5 small plots, each marked with elevation to meet the taste preferences of different audiences.

Coffee development in Panama

Panama is located in Central America, followed by North and South America, bordering Costa Rica and Colombia. Panamanian coffee was first introduced by European settlers in 1780, but at that time the development of coffee was not good, and the output of coffee was only 1 big 10 of that of neighboring Costa Rica. Qianjie coffee was found to be of average quality in other producing areas of this period, and in the areas under European jurisdiction at that time, they only paid attention to the output of coffee beans while neglecting the quality of coffee beans. However, in the second wave of coffee culture, countries began to pay attention to the quality of coffee. Qianjie Coffee found that during this period, such as Kenya and Panama, they went out of the old circle and developed a new coffee model with fine management.

After a period of poor quality, Panamanian coffee gradually developed at the end of the 20th century. Because at the end of the 20th century, the United States helped Panama build a canal, but also independently controlled for a period of time, when a large number of American elites went south to Panama, on the one hand, to work needs, on the other hand, to tap business opportunities.

Panamanian Jade Manor

The Emerald Manor is the witness of this elite trend era. Emerald Manor is located in the Pokuit producing area of Panama, which is an important coffee producing area of Panama. several types of coffee beans in front street coffee come from the Pokuit producing area, such as butterfly coffee beans, Arida iron pickup and so on.

In 1964, Rudolph Peterson, an American banker, retired, moved to Panama and bought the emerald estate in Poquet. 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.

At present, the Emerald Manor mainly has three manors to grow rose summer varieties: veil El Velo, Cannes Vidis Ca ñ as Verdes, Haramillo Jaramillo. Haramillo Jaramillo, which has a superior geographical environment and good flavor of the original coffee variety, was bought in 1996. Veil El Velo was acquired by Jade Manor in 2012. Qianjie Coffee believes that the acquisition of a high-altitude manor like Jade Manor was a unique decision at that time, which made it possible for the Jade Manor to occupy a certain position in the coffee industry.

Among them, Haramiyo Manor is a manor planted with rose summer varieties. Because of its low yield, the former owner only used it as a windbreak tree, and it was not until it was acquired that it was found to have a distinctive flavor. Qianjie Coffee feels that this is the charm of Rose Summer. The worse the environment, the better the flavor.

Although the Jade Manor found coffee beans with flavor at the beginning, in order to be accurate, the coffee beans in different areas of the garden were tested, and the planting plots were determined according to the elevation. That's why we now know the red, green and blue summer grades, all of which are graded according to altitude. Qianjie Coffee will explain this part in detail below.

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 of jadeite manor

High-quality Rose Summer is mainly produced in the estates of Haramillo Jaramillo and Cannas Vidis Ca ñ as Verdess.

The annual rainfall of Jaramillo in Haramy is 4000ml, the average temperature in daytime is 19-25 ℃, the average temperature at night is 11-15 ℃, and the average altitude is 1600-1700m. The Haramiyo site is subdivided into five small plots: Mario (Mario), Noria (Ferris wheel), Reina (queen), Bosque (forest) and Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires).

The annual rainfall of Ca ñ as Verdess is 3500ml, the average temperature during the day is 16-23 ℃, the average temperature at night is 10-15 ℃, and the average altitude is 1600-1800m. Cannes consists of nine small plots: Lino (flax), Coronado (coronation), Fundador (founder), Le ó n (Leon), Monta ñ a (mountain peak), Trapiche (sugar), Chinta (urn), Caba ñ a (cabin) and Tumaco (Tumako).

Veil El Velo is the latest purchase of the Jadeite Manor, with an average elevation of 1700-1900m. In addition to planting Rosa and Kaduai, the site also has a small number of other exotic species, such as Laurina, Pakamara, Mocha and SL28. The veil is divided into seven small plots, namely: Guabo, Port ó n (Portal), Durazno (Peach), Higuer ó n (fig tree), Higo (fig), Buena Vista (Buena Vista), Á guila (Eagle).

Rose summer bidding, red bid, green bid, blue bid

Qianjie Coffee learned that the biggest difference between the marketing strategy of the Jade Manor and other manors is that it is divided into five brands according to the cup test performance and the varieties and plots planted. There are three brands of Rose Summer varieties: jadeite Special selection (Esmeralda Special), Private Collection (Private Collection) and Rosa 1500 (Geisha1500). Kaduai has two brands: Diamond Hill (Diamond Mountain grows) and Pamela (Palmyra).

Competitive bidding and Red bid Rose Summer

The rosy summer specially selected by jadeite is the red sign we often hear. The rose beans, which are planted at 1600-1800 meters above sea level and with a cup test score of more than 90 points, come from two producing areas of Jaramillo and Ca ñ as Verdess.

The independent bidding held by the Jade Manor itself, in the divided plots, the Rose Summer batch that was put forward for bidding is the red bid. However, there are also non-competitive red bids on the market, that is, the rose summer which is selected from the same plot and then circulated to the market, the varieties and quality are the same, but there are differences in the price.

This grade of rose summer is treated in the sun or water, with special, bright floral and citrus aromas.

Green label Rose Summer

Private collection, commonly known as green standard, is not a batch of independent competitions, planting rose summer varieties that do not participate in bidding but are still of excellent quality. Select micro-batch mixed beans from different plots such as Jaramillo and Ca ñ as Verdess, which are planted at 1600-1800 meters above sea level.

Due to the use of mixed bean mode, there is no detailed indication on the plot, so sometimes the flavor similarity between green mark and red mark is very high, but the next production may be different.

Although the green standard is not as high as the red standard, it still has the classic flavor of Rose Summer, floral, fruity, sour citrus, thick and juicy taste. The green sign of rose summer is also washed or tanned.

Blue label Rose Summer

Rose summer 1500 this brand is our common blue standard rose summer. Choose mixed beans from three different plots: Jaramillo, Ca ñ as Verdess and El Velo, which are 1400-1500 meters above sea level. Flavor micro-flower fragrance, fruit sour, sweet, taste is not thick, blue standard rose summer only washing treatment, but in 2020 added the sun blue standard.

Qianjie Coffee summarizes the most obvious differences between bidding Rose Summer Coffee, Red Standard Rose Summer Coffee, Green Standard Rose Summer Coffee and Blue Standard Rose Summer Coffee, that is, the difference in planting altitude and whether to adopt the mode of mixed beans. The ones with high altitude (1600-1800 meters) and clear information about planting plots are bidding rose beans and red bid rose coffee, while the bidding rose coffee reaches the buyer through the bidding channel, and the price is also small. The mixed coffee beans at the same altitude as the red standard rose summer is the green label rose summer coffee, and the last lower altitude (1400-1500 meters) is the blue label rose summer.

Next, Qianjie coffee is brewed to compare the flavor of these three different grades of Rosa coffee beans. Take the red, green and blue marks of Qianjie Coffee Jade Manor as an example.

Grade red standard, green standard, blue standard, altitude 1909-2069m1600-1800m1500m treatment, sun washing, washing, baking, shallow baking

Baking suggestion

Qianjie roasted these three different grades of rose summer coffee beans, the main idea is to highlight the rich fragrance of rose summer flowers and bright and changeable fruit acid characteristics, using shallow baking methods. However, Qianjie takes into account the different growth environment of each level, and the baking details also need to be adjusted accordingly.

Cooking suggestion

The recommended brewing parameters for Qianjie coffee are: Hario V60 filter cup, 90 ℃ water temperature, 15 g powder quantity, 1:15 powder-water ratio, grindability (the pass rate of Chinese standard No. 20 sieve is 80%).

Qianjie takes into account that these rose summer beans are lightly roasted, and the dissolution rate of light roasted beans is lower than that of deep roasted beans, so in order to ensure that the flavor of rose summer can be fully extracted, higher water temperature is used for brewing. At the same time, a finer degree of grinding is also selected.

Grinding this piece, the front street is determined by screening this method, according to the grinding advice provided by the American boutique coffee association SCA for hand-made coffee, and then combined with the actual operation verification, using different grinding degrees to brew, the finished products have a significant gap, and the grinding degree of each coffee bean will be different, this is the significance of screening. If you don't have a sieve at home, Qianjie Coffee suggests observing the speed of the water to judge that if the flow is too fast, it is coarse, and if the flow is too slow, it is fine. Washing and cooking technique

Qianjie coffee uses staged extraction, also known as three-stage brewing, steaming with 30 grams of water for 30 seconds, small water injection around the circle to 125 grams for stages, water level drop to 225 grams when the powder bed is about to be exposed, remove the filter cup when the water level drop is about to expose the powder bed, (steaming starts timing) the extraction time is 2 grams 3900 ".
