As for the "Rose Summer", the new king of boutique coffee, which has swept the coffee world with the power of a hurricane that has occupied the throne of the coffee kingdom for a long time-the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Kona of Hawaii and Rose Summer, I think the same is true.

Rose summer coffee (Geisha) is pronounced as a geisha in Japanese, so it is also called geisha coffee individually, such as Taiwan and Japan.

In fact, the name "Geisha Mountain" is simply because the coffee variety comes from Rosa Mountain, which has nothing to do with Japanese geisha and just happens to be homonym.

Mount Rosa is located in the southwestern border of Ethiopia's Kaffa forest near the Sudan border. It is 2100 meters above sea level and is inaccessible to people. From the Google satellite positioning map bird's-eye view of the Rose Summer Mountain, you can see a green and vibrant.

Kafa Forest is a wild coffee forest region, known as the genetic treasure house of global boutique coffee varieties, and it is not surprising that Rosa Coffee was born here. But the rose summer here and now is still unknown, and it can even be said to be looked down upon!

In 1930 it was recorded in the official Ethiopian archives:

Rose summer is not a high-yielding variety, the bean body is slim and ugly, but it tastes bad, but it can resist coffee rust and can be used to improve the disease resistance of other varieties.

In response to Britain's affection, Ethiopia exported Rosa to improve other coffee varieties, and Rosa began the era of mixed race:

The summer rose was sent to Kenya in 1931, wandered to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936, drifted to Costa Rica in 1953 and traveled to Panama in the 1970s.

In the mixed-race era of Rose Summer, although the disease resistance of coffee varieties has been enhanced, the fruit yield has become poor. As a result, Rose Summer has basically disappeared in nearly half a century, and has even been used as a windbreak because the tree species are taller than ordinary coffee trees.

Until by chance, the son of the owner of Panama Geisha Hacienda La Esmeralda, the emerald estate of Panama, searched all the coffee trees in the estate for testing to separate the rose summer from other coffee varieties in order to take part in the annual competition for the best coffee in Panama.

Rose Summer is a blockbuster, beating the victorious army Bourbon, Kaddura, Kaduai, Tibica and other varieties, winning the first prize of the Panamanian National Bean Cup Test Competition in 2005, 2006 and 2007!

In 2007, the International famous Bean Cup Test sponsored by the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) won the championship again, and the bidding price was sold at US $130 per pound, setting a record for the highest price in the history of competition beans.

Rose Summer Coffee broke the long-silent coffee circle with its unique flavor, occupied the coffee throne with an invincible halo for a long time, and forced the Panamanian national treasure bean competition to be divided into two groups: Rose Summer and non-Rose Summer, lest other excellent beans could not stand out!

As the "rosy summer" of the new king of coffee, it is expensive, even more valuable than gold! To investigate the reason, but the truth that "scarcity is precious"!

The low yield of Rosa rugosa can be regarded as a very stubborn genetic factor, even the mixed race can not be solved. Because the output is very low and you have to take part in the auction, it is not easy to get Rosa peas.

Of course, the extremely low output is just a bargaining chip for Rose Summer to sell. What really fascinates coffee people and what makes Rose Summer extremely precious is that Rose Summer overrides the flavor of all the coffee in the world.

Experts' comments are as follows:

Intense aromas of citrus, jasmine, almonds, mango and nectar, with bright acidity and variety, resembling Ethiopia's national treasure bean Yega Xuefei.

Coffee fans who have drunk it say this:

Its flower fragrance is like fireworks, blooming in the mouth in the process of drinking, with lemon, citrus, strawberry-like juice, making it like juice rather than coffee.

Rose summer, which has such a dreamy and unique flavor, is also very picky about its growing environment. High altitude, cloudy shade, fertile soil and enough accumulated temperature are required.

Panama is the most important section of the world coffee map, and the Boqui Special area (Boquete) is the oldest and most famous coffee producing area in Panama, with an elevation of about 1000 Murray 2000 meters. The coffee grown here not only enjoys the fertile soil of volcanic rock, but also has four distinct dry and wet seasons, with annual rainfall of 3500 mm, and thick clouds often cover the sun in the afternoon. these are the favorite growing environments of Rose Summer.

The Emerald Manor (La Esmeralda) is the most prominent manor in the Boqui specialty area, so that many people say that there are only two kinds of Rose Summer Coffee-Rose Summer Coffee and other Rose Summer Coffee.

Of course, this does not mean to belittle the rose summer of other countries or manors, but that, as the veteran of rose summer planting, the rose summer of Jade Manor leads a wave of rush to plant rose summer, and every rose summer auction of Jade Manor is setting a record!
