The birthplace of the famous Rose Summer (geisha / Geisha) is the emerald estate in the small mountain town of Bouquete in the eastern foothills.

Bouquete, with good mountains and good water, has always been a sacred place for elites in Europe and the United States to provide for the aged. There are 20, 000 people in the town, and there are more than 2, 000 high-level immigrants. The owners of coffee farms here are fluent in English and European, have a world outlook, and have a doctorate or master's degree, ranking first among coffee-producing countries.

As early as 1904, at the beginning of the construction of the Panama Canal, a large number of European engineers and senior managers were hired to work in Panama City, which is very hot in the east. After the completion of the Panama Canal in 1917, this group of senior intellectuals, especially Nordic, fell in love with Bouquete of Panama, where the climate is cool and spring all year round, and many people stay here, buy farms, retire and enjoy the fragrant living conditions of Danxia.

The Discovery Story of Rose Summer (Geisha / Geisha)

Price introduced Kaddura (Caturra) and Catuai (Kaduai) in 1980, and set up a washing plant in 1994. In 1996, Price heard that there was a nearby Haramiyou estate with a good coffee with a strong citrus flavor, so he bought the Haramiyou Cafe and merged it into the Emerald Manor. The Peterson family initially mixed the coffee from the two estates and sold it. But there is always a faint aroma of orange honey and charm, which is very different from the plum flavor of Central American coffee.

One day in 2002, Daniel, Plath's son, Fu Zhi Xin, thought that the taste spectrum should come from a single variety in a certain planting area, so he tested all the varieties at different elevations in the manor one by one.

The cup test results show that the fascinating floral honey flavor and citrus rhyme actually come from the windbreak forest on the border of Harami. The altitude in this area is the highest, about 1500 to 2000 meters. The coffee tree is thin and tall with sparse leaves and not handsome. The vertical spacing of each branch is larger than that of ordinary coffee trees, and the distance between each bud of each branch is as long as 7.26 centimeters. This means that the same branch unit, the area available for flowering and fruiting is not dense enough, belongs to low-yield varieties, and has low economic value, so it may be demoted by the former owner to the most remote and windy area, which serves as a windbreak, shielding other high-yielding varieties with short and close knots from strong winds.

The two men concluded that the unknown coffee trees in the windbreak forest have unique genes and must be tempered by cold winds and mountain air at a height of more than 1500 meters in order to develop a startling flavor spectrum.

Ordinary coffee trees cannot survive in the Harami windbreak forest because the wind is too strong and the temperature is too low, but these tall and thin coffee trees are complacent, and the coffee fruit is fatter than ordinary varieties, and it is not easy to be blown off. although the country is rare, but the smell of orange honey is fascinating, what kind of variety is this?

After consulting many parties, it is known that this variety is called Rosa (geisha / Geisha). It was born in Italy in 1963 and worked in the Ministry of Agriculture. Bach was introduced, but it was abandoned because it was planted in a sea area of 1200 meters, with low yield, small beans and poor flavor.

Large processing equipment

In 2004, Jeff, an intellectual purchasing expert on raw beans, served as a BOP judge. He recalled: a total of 25 Panamanian boutique beans entered the finals, but one of them puzzled the judges. She smelled of citrus, lime, sugarcane and jasmine. Filled the house, sipping the entrance, like flowers in full bloom, mouth fireworks as gorgeous. And Ethiopia's Yega Xuefei can not have such a strong orange honey flavor, the champion bean has been decided. The owner Price explained that this bean is a variety of Rosa (geisha / Geisha), and Rosa (Geisha / Geisha) has been famous ever since.

Coffee trees in the shade

It can be said that the engineers who retired in Europe a hundred years ago were the pioneers of animal husbandry and coffee cultivation in Bouquete today. The advanced washing treatment plants and agricultural hardware facilities here are the masterpieces of the engineers of that year.

Jade Manor (La Esmeralda Estate)

The Jadeite Manor is located in the corner of the Baru volcano, so the coffee beans produced in this area are mostly named after Baru Mountain when they are not well-known. The surrounding area of Bouquete is scenic, with many leisure hotels, villa, resort estates, and even along the important river Rio Caldera. The Emerald Manor (La Esmeralda) is on the right side of the river in Jaramillo, and then grows coffee in the higher elevation area of Canas Verdes on the left side of the river. It's all thanks to Rudolph Peterson's decision to buy the industry.

Peterson family

Rudolph A. Peterson, the first generation owner of Jade Manor.

In 1964 Rudolph, a Swedish-American financier. Rudolph A.Peterson retired, moved to Panama and bought Bouquete's emerald estate, which is dominated by dairy. A former president of Bank of America and a big shot in financial circles at the time, Rudolph bought Hacienda La Esmeralda only for vacation and later retirement, and it should not have been expected that the estate would become world-famous and even become a representative of the Panamanian boutique coffee estate. In 1973, his son Price. Peterson earned a doctorate in neurochemistry in the United States, but returned to Bouquete to help his father run the farm. After taking over, Price divides the market into three major brands to sell according to altitude and micro-climate, cup performance and planting varieties (Esmeralda Special,Diamond Mountain grows,Palmyra). Since 2012, Rosa (Geisha / Geisha) has become one of the four major brands.

[Emerald Manor] consists of four farms: Ca ñ as Verdes, El Velo, Jaramillo and Palmira. All coffee beans are sent to four farms for post-processing. The first farm bought by the Peterson family, the owner, was Palmira.

The Jadeite Special selection (Esmeralda Special), that is, the independent bidding held by the Jadeite Manor itself, is entirely based on the Rose Summer (Geisha / Geisha), each block is subdivided into small batches according to the name of the production block. only the Rose Summer (Geisha / Geisha) lots that the manor takes out for independent bidding can use the Jadeite Special name. Since 2013, there have been nine batches of the Jadeite Special selection.

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 previous auction. In other words, the price of a kilogram of raw beans is as high as 8900 yuan.

This year, the winner of the 2018 Panamanian coffee competition is also Jade Manor's Geisha, which costs $340 per pound, which was won by HARU International Corp.

On the contrary, the weight and sweetness of copper leaf rose summer are mainly, and the sour taste is not obvious.

Veil Farm (El Velo)

Veil Farm (El Velo), acquired by Jade Manor in 2012, is the latest farm in the estate. Veil farms often process micro-batches of coffee beans and sell them in small quantities through direct trade.

For example, the coffee fruit harvested by Prueba4 comes from the Bolton plot of the Veil Farm. This batch of coffee beans are soaked in titanium dioxide. First peel the ripe red coffee fruit, then place the peeled coffee fruit in a closed jar filled with titanium dioxide for 62 hours, then the coffee fruit will be placed on the concrete terrace to dry for 32 hours (there is still pectin residue, so it is honey treatment). The temperature of the terrace is controlled between 17 °C and 24 °C. Pruba 4 (Prueba 4) belongs to a special innovative batch of special collection plots of Jadeite Manor.

(2) introduction to the treatment method

This red label is treated with yeast. From either point of view, adding yeast to the fermentation process is a bold approach.

According to the manor operator Rachel Peterson, the "yeast fermentation method" is an attempt at the treatment of the Jade Manor to observe the performance of Rosa coffee fermented by yeast inoculation.

Treatment process: manually pick the fully ripe bright red fruit, sift out the small size and rinse, soak in clean water, ferment for about 48 hours, add yeast, and then dry in the sun. Lay flat on the tanning bed about 1 murmur2 layers thick, after 4 days of sun exposure, the average temperature: daily: 16 degrees-23 degrees, every night: 10 degrees-15 degrees, complete a completely different unique flavor!

After we tested the red mark with yeast, we were pleased to find that this method enhanced the performance of Rosa Coffee in all aspects (including aroma, mellow thickness, acidity and finish) and was very different from Sun Rose Summer. In general, it is closer to anaerobic fermentation, this treatment of rose summer is very good in terms of aroma and flavor, it grinds away the unsoftness and high acidity of washed coffee, brings a balanced and rich layer, and adds a flavor similar to red wine.

(3) Analysis of raw beans

Rosa coffee raw beans have a very beautiful blue-green, jade-like warm texture, smell fresh grass, peach, berry flavor and oolong tea unique milk sweetness that most coffee beans do not have. it seems that aroma and taste of this kind of things need to be associated, but a hint of tea smell is obvious to us.

(4) Baking analysis

How do you bake when you get a rose summer?

If you fully show the personality of Rose Xia, you must make some efforts on baking. Rose summer is generally planted at a high altitude of more than 1500 meters. What we get is 1700 meters of high-hardness and high-density beans, which are full in shape, medium grain size, thick and long, and pointed at both ends.

In order to highlight the characteristics and aroma of this bean, use light roasting, so that the roasting degree can play the characteristics of the bean itself, too deep will lose the flower aroma and fruit acid, of course, this should also be adjusted according to the characteristics of the coffee bean and the understanding of the roaster for the bean itself.

Personal experience, in the baking process to pay attention to, rose summer baking curve should not be too long, otherwise the flavor will be rigid. After a burst should not be too high temperature rise, rose summer two sharp, easy to have black focus, 6 degrees below the temperature rise will be better, shallow baking more revealing tea rose aroma.

(iv) Baking analysis

Roaster Yangjia 600g semi-direct fire

The furnace temperature is 170 degrees Celsius, the fire power is 140 degrees after the throttle is opened for 3, 30 seconds, the temperature recovery point is 1: 27 degrees, and the furnace temperature is 120 degrees Celsius. At this time, the bean surface turns yellow, the smell of grass disappears completely, dehydration is completed, the firepower is adjusted to 100 degrees, and the throttle is adjusted to 4.

The smell of toast obviously changes to the smell of coffee, which can be defined as a prelude to an explosion. At this time, it is necessary to listen carefully to the sound of the explosion point. "start the explosion at 8: 05", adjust the firepower to 90 degrees, adjust the throttle to 4 (the firepower should be very careful, not so small as to be free of bursting sound), develop 1: 28 "after an explosion, and put it into the pot at 188 degrees.

As a result of the cup test, the entrance acidity is delicate and soft, and sweetness soon appears on the tongue and lasts for a long time. The taste is clean and bright, like black tea. There are roses, honeysuckle, sweet potato, grapefruit, lemon, black tea, sugar aromas, clear layers, long finish.

(5) suggestions for cooking

Recommended cooking method: hand flushing

Degree of grinding: 3.5 (Fuji R440, Japan)

Water temperature: 91 ~ 92 °C

Cake filter cup, 15g powder, water temperature 91 degrees, grinding 3.5.The ratio of water to powder is close to 1:15

35 grams of water is steamed for 30s

Segment: water injection to 100ml cut off, slow water injection to 225ml

That is, 30-100-95

So everyone thinks that summer is expensive...

This year's red label rose summer is still normal, 2018 emerald red label Geisha auction price per pound is 340 US dollars/pound, other bids rose summer in 80-100 US dollars/pound, can review, the annual 2018 red label rose summer auction results released! First place: $340/lb! Rose summer production is very low, just sell expensive an excuse, really fascinating is rose summer unique attractive coffee flavor, is the most important reason for rose summer unusual expensive. In Guangzhou Qianjie Cafe, this year I got 3kg red label sunshine summer and yeast treatment red label sunshine summer, a cup of red label sunshine summer 75 yuan/cup, which is a relatively people-friendly price, the quantity is limited, haha.
