What kind of Panamanian Rosa coffee beans are Panamanian Rosa coffee beans expensive?

Today, about 70% of the world's coffee beans are grown in Arabica, that is, the vast majority of the coffee beans we buy on the market are Arabica. Most Arabica varieties appear as boutique coffee, which tastes better than Robusta. And Arabica beans can be subdivided into many subspecies, most of which are derived from the oldest Typica in Ethiopia and Bourbon in Yemen after transplanting from Central and South America or Asia, and there are so many varieties that they cannot be listed one by one.

What is Rose Summer?

Rose is a variety of coffee, called "Geisha/Gesha" in English. In Japanese, the word "geisha" also happens to be called "Geisha". In order to avoid confusion with the Japanese word for "geisha", it is suggested that Rosa be called "Gesha". Nowadays, however, when people talk about the word "Geisha/Gesha", it is commonly used to refer to the famous Panamanian coffee. The difference between Rose Summer and Rose Summer Coffee

Rosa coffee beans are the best Panamanian coffee beans and one of the most expensive coffee beans in the world. Speaking of rose summer coffee, what are the rose summer coffee producing areas? Its main producing areas are: Panama, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Guatemala and so on. Panamanian rose summer coffee beans belong to the rose summer species, which originated in a forest called Gori Rosa in the Rosy Mountains in southwestern Ethiopia, that is to say, the word "rose summer" is not only a variety name, but also a place name. It is precisely because it originated from the village of Rosa in Ethiopia, so it is called "Rose Xia". Ethiopian Rosa Coffee is divided into three branches, Gori Rosa Gori Gesha (GG), Illubabor Forest 1974 (IF) and Rosa 1931 Gesha 1931 (G31). However, the rose coffee beans grown in the Ethiopian village of Rosa do not have much genetic relationship with the Panamanian coffee beans as we know them. However, the genes of the first two Rosa coffee beans are completely different from those of Panama Rosa coffee.

Although Rose Summer Coffee is famous in the Emerald Manor, the Rose Summer Coffee in other manors is also very good. In addition to Panamanian rosy summer coffee in front of the street, there are also rosy summers in Colombia, Costa Rica and Ethiopia. In order to let more coffee friends taste the flavor of rosy summer coffee, Qianjie even took the rosy summer coffee from Pokuit in Panama as one of the rations beans.

Panamanian Jade Manor

When it comes to Rose Summer Coffee, we have to mention the Rose Summer Coffee of Panamanian Emerald Manor. Jade Manor is not only the discoverer of Rose Summer flavor, but also the promoter of Rosa Coffee. Feicui Manor made a detailed plan for the planting plot of Rosa coffee beans, and divided it into three batches according to the altitude of planting.

Red bid [bidding batch] the red mark we often hear is the rosy summer of jadeite specially selected products. 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 Verdes. It has the characteristics of jasmine, fruit and bergamot. Red standard rose summer is divided into competitive bidding rose summer and non-competitive bidding rose summer.

Green label [collection batch] private collection is the green mark that we often hear, not the batch of independent competition, planting rose summer varieties that do not participate in bidding but still have excellent quality. Select micro-batch mixed beans from different plots such as Jaramillo and Ca ñ as Verdes, which are planted at 1600-1800 meters above sea level.

Someone asked Qianjie: what's the difference between a green sign and a red sign? Qianjie believes that although the grade of green standard rose summer coffee beans is not as high as that of red standard rose summer coffee beans, it is clean and tends to the flavor and acidity of jasmine tea as a whole, while the green standard rose summer in the sun is sweet, sour and sweet, reminiscent of passion fruit and scented tea. Rosa in green-label batches is also washed or tanned.

Blue standard [selected batches] the blue standard is planted at an altitude of 1400-1500 meters above sea level, and the blue standard is a mixture of rose coffee beans from three different plots: Jaramillo, Canas Verdes and El Velo.

However, since 2021, Emerald Manor has adjusted its Rosa Coffee classification, and the Blue label batch (Geisha 1500) has been cancelled at the beginning of this year's 2021 production season.

The price of Rose Summer

Rosa was introduced to Panama in 1960. At first, little attention was paid to Rose. After nearly half a century, Panamanian Emerald Manor, that is, Panama Geisha Hacienda La Esmeralda, separated it from other varieties in 2003, came to prominence in the BOP competition, and finally became the champion of the BOP competition in 2004, so that the Rosa variety officially entered the attention of everyone. Over the next few years, Rosa won the first prize in the Panama National Treasure Bean Cup Test Competition in 2005, 2006 and 2007. It was the advent of the Best Coffee in Panama (Best of Panama) and the Panamanian Emerald Manor (Panama Geisha Hacienda La Esmeralda) that revolutionized the underestimation of Panamanian coffee beans, and the cup test competition attracted global attention, not only the attraction of the coffee itself, but also the amazing price. Geisha geisha from some small farms attract the attention of coffee fans all over the world with their unique floral fragrance. Panamanian coffee beans have strong floral aroma and clean fruit aroma, and the cup test quality is far higher than that of other coffee.

Small farms in the Boquete region of Chirqui do produce unusual coffee cherries, but harvesting rose coffee cherries is a challenging task that requires the meticulous attention of pickers. In order to get high-quality Rosa coffee, it is very important to select the most mature coffee cherries, which means that pickers have some experience to achieve. Each rose summer coffee cherry is fully ripe after manual selection by the picker. The immature rose summer coffee cherry has not yet reached a specific flavor, so it cannot be picked, while the substandard coffee cherry is discarded. Rosa coffee cherries also take several years to fully mature, which is why pickers need to be extra careful when picking. The farm employs the local Noble Bugley (Noble Bugre) aborigines every harvest season, and is employed at the most reasonable salary in accordance with Central American labour laws. There are four main reasons why Panama Rosa coffee beans are expensive:

It was named Best Coffee by the Professional Coffee Association (SCA), an international coffee lovers' organization that covers different areas of the specialty coffee industry: growers / farmers, producers, roasters, manufacturers, importers / exporters, and retailers.

It's relatively rare. There are only a few producers of Rosa in Panama. Because the growing conditions in Panama cannot be found outside Panama, Panamanian rosy summer coffee cannot be replicated in other regions or countries. Coupled with the threat of climate change and rust, Guixia's survival has become more difficult.

Demand is increasing while supply is decreasing. Especially in Asia, such as China, the demand for Rosa coffee has increased particularly sharply, which has also contributed to its rising prices.

The auction has also effectively raised the price of coffee. Due to the limited supply, only the highest bidder can get it.

Panama Rosa Coffee Bean recommendation

I mentioned earlier that the price of Rosa coffee beans in Panama is rising. Does that worry you? So how much is a cup of Rosa coffee? The Panamanian Emerald Manor Green Rosa Coffee roasted on Qianjie Coffee is fully guaranteed in terms of brand and quality. And more importantly, the performance-to-price ratio is extremely high, 100 grams per pack, the price is only 168 yuan. Calculated on the basis of 15 grams of coffee beans per cup, a bag can make six cups of coffee, which costs only about 28 yuan per cup, which is recommended by conscience compared to the price of hundreds of cups sold in cafes. The washed Poquet Rose Summer Coffee in Panama is 98 yuan / 100g. It is one of the rations beans on the front street and is also the representative of Panamanian Rose Summer Coffee.

Roasted roasted summer coffee beans in Qianjie are recommended:

The flavor of Rosa Coffee is famous for its rich floral aromas and complex fruit flavors. Qianjie roasters want to retain more high quality acidity, so they choose medium-to-light roasting (slight adjustments will be made in different batches). This baking degree does not change the high hardness of beans at high altitude, so it is necessary to improve the extraction rate in cooking to show a fuller flavor level. Higher water temperature and finer grinding will be used here to stimulate more aromatic substances.

Parameters of Qianjie Rose Summer Coffee:

Qianjie daily products mostly use V60 filter cup, because the 60-degree angle design has spiral rib design, we can control the water flow has been injected times, we can fully extract the essence of rose coffee, at the same time large water hole design to avoid excessive extraction of coffee. The body of the V60 filter cup has a large round hole connecting the diversion ribs at the top and the bottom and the center, which speeds up the flow rate of the water, while the spirally shaped exhaust trough is designed to lengthen the flow path and increase the contact time of coffee powder and hot water. each flow of water converges along the groove to the center of the filter cup, the pressure on the coffee powder is concentrated, and the coffee extracted is more layered.

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

Suggestions for making coffee in front of the street:

For the brewing of coffee, Qianjie has always believed that the freshness of coffee beans has a great relationship with the flavor of coffee, so the coffee beans shipped in Qianjie coffee are roasted within 5 days. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

For those who need to be ground, Qianjie warmly reminds you that if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans, because in the process of transportation, the pressure caused by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor round. so you can drink a cup of coffee as soon as you receive the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes more quickly after contact with the air, that is to say, the flavor of the coffee will dissipate more quickly, and the flavor of the coffee is not so good. Therefore, Qianjie suggests buying whole beans, grinding and flushing now, so that we can better taste the flavor of coffee.
