How much is a cup of Panamanian Alida green roses in summer? rosy coffee beans hand-brewed parameter flavor description

No way! No way! Coffee fans must have heard of Rosa Coffee! If you haven't even heard of Rose Summer Coffee, you really need to read the next article on Qianjie! You know, since the Rose Summer Coffee from the Emerald Manor of Panama won the first place in the BOP (Panamanian Coffee Raw Bean Competition) in 2004, the price of Rosa Coffee, which was not taken seriously, has been rising step by step. In the eyes of many people, the fame of Rosa Coffee is very sudden, but they do not know the "hardship" behind it. At the end of the day, the street will tell you a story about Rosa Coffee before it became famous.

When it comes to Qianjie, the story of Rosa Coffee dates back to 1936, when Captain Charlie de Willie was the consul of the Bench Maji area. His task is to collect 10 pounds of coffee seeds from the area around the geisha mountain, and it is a very vague history as to how the descendants of these rosy summer coffee seeds arrived at the emerald estate and how their unique flavor was discovered. But Qianjie, according to the official records of Jade Manor, it can be inferred that because Rose Summer Coffee had a certain resistance to ojo de gallo (a coffee disease) at that time, the Jade Manor began to plant Rose Summer Coffee trees, but at that time Rose Summer Coffee only served as a windbreak in the Jade Manor.

In the late 1990s, as coffee production became more and more concerned, the Petersons of Emerald Manor bought the high-altitude Jaramillo farm and found that although many coffees were destroyed by coffee leaf rust, the rose summer coffee trees were not seriously damaged, so they decided to grow rose coffee in more places on the farm, and most places were above 1650 meters above sea level. Later, it was unexpectedly found that the flavor of Rosa coffee grown at high altitude was extremely excellent.

Emerald Manor can be said to be the place where the family of Rose Summer Coffee became rich, and its fame is getting bigger and bigger, so it is natural that more and more manors begin to grow Rose Summer Coffee. And Rose Xia has repeatedly become the undefeated god in the competition of raw coffee beans.

In 2018, the Lamastus family of Alida Manor set two records for BOP, both related to Rosa Coffee. Alida Manor Green Top Water washed Rose Summer with a super high score of 94.66, setting a new record of 94.15 points in 2016. Moreover, they also won the two "firsts" of Rose Summer Sunshine Group and Water washing Group, becoming the first "double material champion" in the history of BOP and winning the title of the best producer in Panama at that time! In this fruitful 2018, the family's Alida Manor ushered in its 100th anniversary. The best rosy summer coffee in Panama in 18 and 19 was the same Elida Estate Green Tip Geisha Natural ASD (Arida Manor Green Top Rose Summer anaerobic low temperature slow sun).

So what is the green-topped rose summer? Listen to Qianjie slowly, in fact, there are two known rose summer varieties: the green top and the bronze top, which are named after the appearance characteristics of the leaves of the rose summer coffee tree. When it comes to the difference between the two, the common explanation is that the green-top coffee has a floral flavor and has a very bright acidity while the bronze-topped coffee tastes smooth and creamy, but the flowers are slightly less fragrant and more fruity. In recent years, the development trend is green top coffee to steal the limelight at a time.

And Arida Manor's participating Rose Summer uses the ASD method, the so-called ASD is the abbreviation of Anaerobic Slow Dry. A relatively new technology, translated into Chinese, is anaerobic low temperature, slow sun exposure, slow sun exposure. The processing process is relatively tedious, which requires producers to invest more time and energy in it. Put the coffee cherries in an airtight container to ferment for a period of time. As coffee cherries are dried completely by fermentation, the normal drying time is usually 10-15 days, but slow sunlight extends the drying time to 40 + days.

As the "collector" of the world's best coffee, Qianjie will not let go of such a coffee with excellent flavor. A few years ago, Street bought a batch of rosy summer coffee from Alida Manor anaerobic fermentation at low temperature and slow sun drying. Rosa coffee, which grows at 1900 meters above sea level, has a fresh floral fragrance and a variety of fruit flavors such as oranges, guava, grapefruit and apricots. All kinds of flavors "spin and jump non-stop" in the mouth. " . In order to maintain the original floral fragrance of Rose Summer Coffee, Qianjie chose shallow roasting and let the coffee release more aromatic substances in the slow development.

The price of coffee beans of this specification in major cafes will be much higher than that of ordinary coffee. It is important to know that many raw coffee beans in well-known estates like this are hard to obtain, with small output and high quality, and will soon be sold out. For example, in the past, in the street, the price of a cup of hand-made coffee was generally 30 yuan (in fact, it was also very cheap), while the rosy summer of Arida Manor was 60 yuan per cup. In the face of such exquisite coffee, its brewing method is also different from that of ordinary coffee. The following are the parameters used for brewing this coffee in Qianjie, which you can refer to:

Recommended cooking method: hand flushing

Filter cup: V60

Water temperature: 90-92 ℃

Amount of powder: 15g

Powder / water ratio: 1:16

Degree of grinding: medium and fine grinding (Chinese standard No. 20 screen pass rate 80%)

Cooking technique: stage-by-stage extraction

Steaming with 30 grams of water, the steaming time is about 30 seconds, when 125 grams of water is injected around the center of the small flow, continue to inject water to the end of 225 grams when the water level is about to expose the powder bed, and remove the filter cup when the water level is about to expose the powder bed. (the time of steaming starts) the extraction time is about 200 ", which is 10 seconds more than the normal range of the city.

Friends who often watch Qianjie cooking tutorials should find something. Qianjie basically uses the powder-to-water ratio of 1:15 when brewing other coffee, but when brewing Rose Summer Coffee, it will say that the powder ratio is as big as 1:16, this is because Rosa Coffee usually grows at a high altitude. High altitude and low temperature will cause the coffee to mature more slowly so that it can accumulate more aromatic substances, and the fertile volcanic soil of Alida Manor also provides a lot of nutrients for the growth of this coffee. It is precisely because of this that the 1:15 vermicelli wine is not very suitable for Rosa coffee, an experiment has been done in Qianjie that at 1:15, the flavor of Rosa coffee is too concentrated to show concrete flavor characteristics. But 1:16 can well show the most complete and clearest flavor.
