What's the difference between 30 yuan and 300 yuan for a cup of coffee? Where is the summer price of $340 / lb red roses?

In their spare time, going to a coffee shop to relax and have a cup of coffee is a way for more and more people to enjoy life. But the price of coffee ranges from 30 yuan to 300 yuan, obviously it is coffee, why is there such a big price gap? Speaking of expensive coffee, Qianjie thinks Rosa must be on the list. When people mention Rose Summer, the first thing that comes to mind is that it tastes good, and the second is that the price is very expensive.

So where on earth is Rose Summer expensive?

Rosa participated in the auction in 2004, and the auction war has pushed Rosa to an astonishing price. Looking back at the 2017 Panamanian boutique coffee auction, a batch of sun roses from the Emerald Manor sold for a whopping $601 / lb, almost double the price of previous coffee bean auctions. In other words, the price of a kilogram of raw beans is as high as 8900 yuan. The 2018 Jade Red Rose Summer bid was $340 / lb, which was won by HARU International Corp, while the other bids were $80-100 / lb. By 2019, the highest bid was more than $1029 / lb.

Ruoxia is a variety of coffee with rich and elegant floral aromas, full acidity of citrus, peaches and compound fruits, creamy taste, aftertaste with the sweetness of oolong tea, exquisite flavor performance makes people feel not like drinking coffee, but tasting a cup of fragrant fruit tea. Many articles in Qianjie will mention that as a kind of crop, the flavor performance of coffee is always closely related to variety, climate, altitude, soil, management and other factors, and it is the natural embodiment of varieties and local conditions. what post-processing and baking should do is to maximize the preservation, reduction and display of their true flavor. So rose summer can be so excellent, can not be separated from the combination of the above factors.

As the saying goes, the output of Rosa coffee is extremely rare. Panama produces about 10, 000 tons of coffee a year, while the famous Emerald Manor produces only 150 bags of raw beans, about 9000 kilograms. Rose summer accounts for only 3% of the output, only 270 kg. Coupled with the promotion and rendering of rose summer flavor by various media, everyone's enthusiasm for rose summer has only increased, and the price of rose summer coffee has naturally remained high.

Compared with other Arabica varieties, the rose variety not only has low fruit yield, but also has a particularly fragile plant, and is also very picky about the growing environment. It needs high altitude, fertile soil, clouds or plant shade, not direct exposure. The foliar system of Rosa coffee tree is very thin, that is to say, the efficiency of photosynthesis is very low, the root is still very fragile, and the absorption of water and nutrients is very slow, so the yield of coffee is very low, coupled with the high altitude growth environment, the fruit ripens later. The fruit yield of a rose coffee tree is only half that of the Kaddura variety, and the higher cost of manual care is one of the reasons why Rosa is so valuable.

How did Rose Summer become popular?

Rosa Coffee has today's ultra-high reputation, which Qianjie believes is largely due to the Emerald Manor in Panama. Daniel, the third-generation owner of the Jade Manor, said that it was only after years of comparison and testing that he finally locked in this variety in 2003. Two weeks before the 2003 Best Panama Competition (BOP), when selecting the entries on the internal cup test table, it was found that Rosa Variety had outstanding flavors such as jasmine, citrus, peach, blueberry, bergamot, sugar cane and other outstanding flavors, which were different from those in the coffee circle at that time, but Daniel still chose to compete with Rosa variety and won the first prize in the competition.

In 2005, General Rose Xia of Emerald Manor participated in the evaluation of the American Fine Coffee Association, that is, SCAA, beat many star seed contestants, won the honor of world-class boutique coffee, and won the world champion in 2006 and 2007, so he once again received the attention of the world coffee people. Since then, coffee producing areas around the country began to introduce rose summer, including our country Yunnan also began to plant this popular variety. Although rose summer can be produced all over the world, Qianjie believes that as the discoverer of rose summer flavor, jadeite manor not only checks the quality of coffee produced, but also uses natural treatment to show the classic "rose summer flavor".

Where can I find a cost-effective Rosa coffee?

Panama is a famous place for rose summer, and the rosy summer coffee produced by mature planting technology and processing techniques still has a good reputation in the industry, so Qianjie launched a cost-effective rosy summer coffee from Pokuit, which is washed with water. To the Qianjie store, you can taste the classic rosy summer flavor for only 30 yuan.

After washing, the selected coffee cherries are put into the peeling machine to remove the peel and pulp initially; the coffee beans with residual pectin are put into the water and let them ferment for about 24 hours; after fermentation, the coffee beans with parchment are washed in a flow tank to remove their pulp and pectin; after cleaning, the coffee beans are dried or dried with the help of a dryer to reduce the moisture content to about 12%. Finally, remove the parchment of raw coffee beans.

As one of the most traditional methods of raw bean treatment, water washing not only makes the quality of coffee production more stable, but also makes Rosa Rosa more clean and fresh. After baking, Qianjie feels the elegant white flower aroma of rose summer, rising citrus and lemon acidity, with a slight flavor of green tea, as if drinking a cup of soft Tieguanyin tea. How to brew the rich taste of Rosa coffee so that it won't be wasted?

The front street hand rushed the suggestion.

Panamanian rose summer planting environment is high altitude, coffee beans are hard, Qianjie bakers generally use medium-light roasting for flower and fruit conditioned beans to retain more high-quality sour taste. Shallow roasting does not significantly change the internal structure of coffee beans, so Qianjie baristas use higher water temperatures and finer grinding to stimulate the aroma of roses.

Filter cup: V60 water temperature: 91-92 degrees Celsius powder quantity: 15g powder-water ratio: 1:15 Grinding degree: fine sugar size (No. 20 sieve bowl sieve powder to 80%)

Three-stage extraction: the first stage is steamed with 30g water for 30 seconds, evenly injected around the circle to form a drum, the second stage is injected with 95g hot water, the powder layer is reduced to half, and the third stage 100g is injected until all the coffee is filtered. Pay attention to the center point to start water injection, the whole process of small flow soft circle, to avoid uneven extraction.

The hand-washed Panamanian rosy summer coffee has a clear acidity of citrus, lemon and bergamot, with a creamy and smooth taste when swallowed, with the sweetness of green tea and honey at the end.
