What is the difference between the rose summer of Panama and the rose summer of Ethiopia

Why don't all rose summers taste the same? Just as not all Chardonnay tastes the same, take the rose summer of Panama and the rose summer of Ethiopia, for example, there are some differences between them. But in fact, they are also from Colombia, and coffee beans produced in Tolima and Kaduai produced in Nari Nino will taste different, although they are roasted at the same baking degree.

So, what is the reason?

Terroir: an important factor affecting coffee. In English, "style" is often used to express the meaning of "style". The word comes from French and is used to describe the effects of environmental and social factors on people, wine, olives, and other flavors. "Terroir" represents climate, altitude, humidity, light, soil, water quality, farming habits and so on.

Each producing area has unique local characteristics, and these characteristics are the main factors that affect the flavor of coffee. For example, growing coffee in the mountains of Kenya, the long ripening period at low temperature allows coffee cherry fruits to accumulate more sweetness and complex flavor; the volcanic soil of coffee estates in Guatemala is rich in nitrogen. this trace element allows coffee to grow well; the humid environment in Indonesia allows farmers to develop a unique way of handling raw beans, giving the local coffee a unique flavor.

In addition, the type of coffee also has a great influence on coffee. There are many different species in coffee, and the most grown coffee species in the coffee belt are Arabica and Robusta. Arabica accounts for 60% of the world's coffee production, and its subordinate categories are divided into many different varieties, such as iron pickup, bourbon, Kaddura, Rosa, Kaduai, elephant beans and so on.

In other words, if you are in the habit of mixing red wine, you can think of Sheila, Riesling, Chardonnay. The difference between. Different varieties have different planting patterns, different maturity and growth habits, and different flavors.

Bourbon is famous for its sweetness, while Rosa is famous for its unique tea-like mellow thickness and fruity aroma. People have different descriptions of rosy summers from all over the world:

"excellent rose summer varieties are usually associated with Panama, and its high altitude makes it attractive to grow with aromas of flowers, citrus fruits and berries."

"although the rose summer growing in Panama first attracted the attention of coffee people, the rose summer planted at El Vergel Manor in Colombia is also amazing. Unique floral aroma and vibrant citrus flavor, and the quality has reached new heights. When tested in the cup, there are delightful flavors of pears, fudge and dried cherries. "

"the rose summer of Ethiopia is like a real compound fruit juice, with drupe fruits, rich tropical fruit flavors and orange blossom aromas. There are delicate sour fruit, and lively fruit sweet. "

The strong and obvious floral fragrance is the most important feature of Rosa Variety, while other flavors in coffee come from different producing areas, different treatments and roasting.

Some people will compare the native species produced in Ethiopia with the rose summer. Rose summer is actually a derivative of Ethiopia, and the coffee produced in Ethiopia is unique and can restore the coffee's own flavor, rich fruity flowers and fresh acidity in a light roasted condition.

This is not only related to the variety of coffee beans, but also to the growing environment. In Ethiopia, 5% of the coffee growing areas are planted in forests, where pure wild coffee is produced, and 35% are mixed forest and pastoral areas, which absorb nutrient-rich soil from the forest. better flavor of coffee will be cultivated during the growth process.

But for baristas, tasting coffee alone does not infer how changes in soil minerals or other growing conditions this year will affect the flavor of coffee this year. But we can taste the sweet, sour, different flavors of peaches and plums. Different producing areas, different estates and different varieties of coffee all have their own unique taste.
