When I heard "Rose Summer" coffee beans, I thought Kyoto had begun to grow coffee. Haha, this is a big mistake. In fact, the original Rose Summer Coffee Bean, or Gesha, happens to be synonymous with Japanese "Rose Summer", so it is called it in Chinese. In fact, it has nothing to do with Japanese Rose Xia.

Although there are geisha in Japan, "Geisha Coffee" actually has nothing to do with Japan. Its name comes purely from the local name of Ethiopia. The breed, once unknown, won the best coffee cup test in Panama in 2004 and has been a blockbuster ever since. What surprised the judges most at that time was that the coffee beans from Central America had a unique flavor of African coffee, so some judges praised Rosa Coffee as "God in a Cup".

Tracing back to its origin, geisha coffee beans originated from African Ethiopian Typica beans. After several mutations, they came to Central America and Panama to become famous, and many countries competed to imitate them. Over the past decade, Rosa coffee beans have been highly praised by numerous cup tests and have become the darling of auctions, setting a record of US $130 per pound.

However, Rosa Summer Coffee is so popular among many coffee fans that they love it very much. If you don't believe it, you will know at a glance that there will be many professional articles about Rose Summer Coffee. This Rose Summer craze is quite frightening!

Speaking of the legend of Rose Summer, it turns out that this coffee bean originated from southwestern Ethiopia in Africa. In 1963, Don Pachi Serracin introduced Rose Summer Coffee Tree from Costa Rica to Panama. At first, it may not be satisfied with the soil and water, and the coffee production was very small, which reduced the willingness of coffee farmers to grow, until Daniel Peterson, the owner of La Esmeralda5 Manor, accidentally found Rosa Coffee Tree in his own Coffee Manor and became popular in 2004. He won the championship for four years in a row. At present, Panama is the only country in the world that produces Rosa coffee beans, of which La Esmeralda and Don pachi estates are the most famous.

The reason why Rose Summer Coffee is popular with coffee fans lies in its rich personality and high level. Some experts especially describe it as an "extraordinary" personality, so it has won the championship for several years in a row and become the top coffee in the eyes of coffee fans.

To talk about the taste and taste, geisha coffee beans have a strong jasmine fragrance, elegant and sweet, after washing, sun or honey treatment, evolved into a variety of flavors. When medium-sun coffee beans are sweeter than those produced by water washing, they can highlight the complexity of taste.

Rosa Coffee and Kopi Luwak are both gourmet products, but people in the industry think that the former is of higher quality, because Rosa Coffee is among the best in numerous cup test competitions, and it is recognized as boutique coffee No.1;, while the level of Kopi Luwak is relatively unstable, because what the civet eats will affect the taste of coffee beans. Let's have a taste of this coffee treasure if you have a chance.

In many places, a cup of rose summer coffee costs up to a few hundred yuan, while in Qianjie coffee, a cup of red standard rose summer is no more than 75 yuan, which can be said to be a great bargain.

Qianjie Coffee thinks that light and moderate roasting is suitable for rose summer, retaining its floral and fruity aromas, brewed in 90-92 degrees water, rich aromas of jasmine and roses, and bright and soft citrus acidity in the mouth.
