Origin and origin

Rose summer is called Gesha or Geisha in English, because its pronunciation is similar to the Japanese word for "geisha", so it is also called Yi Qiu Dou.

It is now generally believed that the best rose summer is produced in Panama, but the rose summer variety was actually found in the rose summer forest of Ethiopia as early as 1931 and sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya. it was then introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936 and Costa Rica in 1953. Panama only began to grow rosy summer coffee in the 1970s.

There seems to be a legend about the Panamanian summer when the owner of the manor stumbled upon a rose tree when he played the trumpet, of course it is just a legend. However, it is true that Rose Xia was ignored because of its low yield, and it is said that it was once regarded as a windbreak tree by Ka Nong and not as a coffee tree.

Until Daniel Peterson, the owner of Panama La Esmeralda Manor in Panama, took part in the 2004 Panamanian Coffee Bean Cup Test Competition and the Red Queen Rose Summer began her own life, no, it was Dousheng. In numerous raw bean competitions and cooking competitions, Rosa is a good partner of the top players, and the price naturally soars all the way.

Red, green and blue marks

As mentioned above, Ethiopia, Costa Rica and other countries have rosy summer production. However, in the eyes of coffee lovers, the most famous is the rosy summer of Panama, especially the Emerald Manor. The common rose summer we are talking about is divided into three colors: red, green and blue. So what do they mean?

Red bid-competitive bidding batches, fighting chickens in Rose Summer.

Red Standard Rose Summer, which grows at a high altitude of 1600-1800 meters, is mainly produced in Jaramillo and Ca ñ as Verdes estates. It is also the highest quality rose peas. The cup test score can reach more than 90 points, which is very difficult to buy (GUI) and can only be bought through the annual global auction.

Green mark-collection batch, slightly inferior to red mark, but JIA quality (GE) is still very high.

The green sign grows at an altitude of about 1600-1800 meters and comes from three different estates of Jaramillo, Quiel and Ca ñ as Verdes.

Blue label-selected batches, people-friendly Rose Summer

The blue label is planted at 1500 meters above sea level and comes from three different estates of Jaramillo, Ca ñ as Verdes and El Velo. In particular, both red and green rose summers are treated by sunlight and water washing, while the blue standard generally has only water washing.

How's the flavor?

Rosa coffee generally has a strong floral aroma, fruit and high sweetness, unlike traditional Central American coffee, it is often difficult to distinguish it from high-quality Essex beans. Compared with her two sisters, the taste of the people-friendly blue label Rosa is a little thinner and the flavor is less persistent. But it's still a good coffee worth a try.
