Have you heard of the most expensive coffee in the world-the geisha of the Emerald Manor in Panama?

With the invincible halo of the best Panama Best of Panama, the price of the Jade Manor bidding for a geisha soars year after year.

What's more, it squeezed out the international status of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Bean, the king of coffee in the old times.

Become the most important top coffee bean pronoun in the third wave of coffee.

I believe that many people must have a doubt in their hearts.

Why is it so expensive that people are still rushing to get it? And the price is getting higher and higher every year.

Today, I will help you to answer the reason why Jade Manor can become the number one brother in the coffee industry.

The success of the Jade Manor is not accidental.

His strength can convince global buyers, yes, it's worth it!

The manor has been introduced a little before.

Today, we will take you to learn more about this manor that leads the third wave of coffee-the Panamanian Jade Manor.

The little story of a geisha can be seen as an ugly duckling turning into a swan.

Geisha, in fact, is a transliterated name, which comes from the name of the original village, "Geisha", a very rural place in Ethiopia.

No one will pay attention to a coffee tree that originally looked thin and frail in Ethiopia, not plump in bean shape, low in yield, and very inconspicuous in appearance.

Unexpectedly, after the plant was transferred to the Emerald Manor in Panama, its special flavor was accidentally discovered by the owner of the manor. after being cultivated, it became the most rammed coffee in the world.

The geisha of the Emerald Manor in Panama was discovered through its unique taste.

Daniel Peterson, the third-generation manor owner, has long planned to cultivate the manor well. He believes that the coffee produced by the manor has always been harvested and mixed for sale, and the overall quality is good, but it is not of the same quality and flavor.

So through the cup test that he is good at, he compares the coffee grown in various areas of the manor one by one, and then selects the good batches.

In a cup test, the owner of the manor found that a certain batch of beans had a special citrus aroma. After a thorough investigation, he found that the fragrance came from a Geisha variety in the manor. Later, when cultivated independently, he found that it could emit elegant citrus notes after baking at high altitude, and even felt the aroma of some apples, the sweetness of honey, and the fragrance of berries, which was completely different from that of beans from Central America.

The landowner took advantage of this miraculously thin bean to win the competition in the world and began to unfold the prospect of immortal geisha coffee.

The record-breaking 94.6 points in the National bidding Competition (BEST OF PANANMA) in Panama not only won the championship of the Panamanian Emerald Manor, but also brought the geisha species to the fore on the international stage.

After eight consecutive years of championships, almost all of them were international competitions and credible competitions, and geisha coffee beans became the boutique brand of Panama.

Now coffee farmers from all over the world are also scrambling to introduce this coffee variety, including from Panama, Guatemala, Colombia, and so on. I have heard that there are also farmers in Taiwan.

But why on earth are geisha so popular?

Why are people still willing to pay when prices keep rising?

First of all, the special flavor is of course not to mention. But the key reason is that his yield is not much, and there are various restrictions on the cultivation of geisha, such as weakness and poor care, high wilt mortality in the early stage of planting, and lower harvest than traditional varieties.

In addition, geisha have to be above 1500m above sea level in order to give full play to their characteristics. The aroma and flavor of geisha planted at low altitude are not as good as those of geisha at high altitude, but there are not many good areas at high altitude and suitable for growing coffee, which makes the restrictions on products even greater. No wonder demand is often in short supply.

It is often heard in the market that the geisha in the Feicui Manor have a blue and green mark for dividends. What does it mean?

In fact, it is very simple, it is distinguished according to the level of competitive bidding and altitude:

Hongbiao Rose Xia is a geisha participating in the bidding, growing at an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level.

The green geisha is a selected geisha growing up 1600m above sea level and 1800m above sea level.

Blue geisha are selected geisha at an altitude of about 1500.

Red bid Rose Xia participates in the global bidding auction in May every year. Green bid does not participate in the auction, but it is also of high altitude and high quality, and the price is slightly cheaper. Buyers of Red Standard Rose Summer can give priority to the purchase of Green bid.
