Introduction to the flavor characteristics and brewing methods of iron man rose summer coffee beans in Panamanian aurora manor

Speaking of Rose Summer Coffee, the Emerald Manor in Panama is the most classic. Rose summer coffee flowers elegant, sweet and sour delicious, is "should only be in the sky" good taste. Many coffee rookies have heard about the amazing price and unique flavor of Rosa coffee before they come into contact with boutique coffee.

The Development History of Rosa Coffee

Rosa originated in the Rosa Forest of Ethiopia, was picked and sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya, and then flowed to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936. It was later introduced to the CATIE Agricultural Research Institute in Costa Rica in 1953 and was labeled T2722. Due to the invasion of coffee leaf rust in Central America, Rosa Variety is considered to be resistant to coffee leaf rust and was introduced to Panama. However, due to the low yield and fragile branches of the coffee trees of the rose summer variety, the coffee growers are not willing to plant the rose summer variety.

Before the rosy summer flavor was discovered, the jade estate in Panama tasted, compared and recorded the differences of hundreds of coffee varieties in order to improve the quality of coffee. until 2003, it was unexpectedly found that the flavor of Rosa coffee was completely different from that of "nuts, caramel and chocolate" in Central America. On the eve of the BOP competition of the second year, following the advice of the elders of the coffee industry, Rosa coffee was sent to participate in the BOP competition, and unexpectedly won the championship of BOP in one fell swoop.

As a result, the rose summer variety has become a popular spicy chicken in the boutique coffee industry. Later, in order to avoid stealing the limelight from the rose summer coffee varieties, the BOP competition divided the group into two groups: the rose summer group and the non-rose summer group.

As the flavor of rose coffee is very unique and attractive, rose coffee varieties have spread all over the "coffee gold planting belt", not only in Panama, but also in Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador and other producing countries. Rosa coffee trees are even found in Asian producing areas such as Yunnan and Taiwan of China.

Although the flavor of Rosa Variety is exquisite and elegant, such "should only be in the sky" flavor comes from the specific planting environment. Even the rosy summer coffee grown in Costa Rica, which borders the border, is not as stunning as Panama's.

Auroral Manor

Panamanian top coffee estates that grow rosy summer coffee are now springing up like a tide. Jade Manor is one of the old Rose Summer top estates, and many friends should be familiar with its flavor. Jade Manor is resident on the bean list on the front street as a classic. In addition, even if Qianjie has nearly half a hundred kinds of coffee beans, Qianjie will add some other top manors for everyone to taste from time to time. Recently, Qianjie bought a kind of sun roses and summer coffee beans from Aurora Manor.

Robert Burrows, the owner of Aurora Manor, who holds an MBA from Columbia University in New York, is a well-known local financial authority in Panama, a former leader of the Panamanian Central Bank and now the chief executive of the Panamanian Stock Exchange.

Robert Burrows did not always work in the coffee industry until he took over the land of what is now Aurora Manor in 2006, began to grow high-quality coffee, and won the BOP competition with "Ironman Geisha" in 2013, making Aurora Manor and Robert Burrows famous all over the world.

Aurora Manor Finca Auromar is named after the owner's daughter (Aurora) and his granddaughter (Mar). The Aurora Manor is located in the northwest corner of Panama and belongs to the Walken producing area. in the valley west of the Baru volcano, the manor is only about two kilometers from the border between Panama and Costa Rica, and the manor itself covers an area of 30.5 hectares. in order to balance coffee production and forest protection, the arable land of the manor has been carefully reclaimed: 16 hectares of land is native tropical rain forest. It's about 1700 to 1775 meters above sea level. The rest of the 14.5ha is used for planting coffee trees, which are planted between 1500 and 1700 meters above sea level.

Aurora Manor's rose summer coffee cultivation is similar to many other top Panamanian rosy coffee estates. The estate is rich in plant species, and the owner will transplant locally endemic tree species such as bananas, avocados, cedars and other plants to provide shade for coffee, accounting for about 50% of the shade area in the manor. With extremely high altitude, microclimate, significant temperature difference between day and night, and an average annual rainfall of about 3500 mm, coffee cherries here can absorb more nutrients and have more flavor substances in the fruit.

The coffee harvest season at Aurora Manor usually begins in late December, and staff have great patience to pick ripe coffee red cherries one by one from the branches and send them from the farm to a processing plant 3 kilometers away for processing.

Sun roses in summer

Because the owner of the manor, Robert Burrows, loved the Triathlon movement, he added the element of Triathlon to the naming of the raw bean batches of the manor, including one named "Ironman" and translated as "Iron Man". The Aurora Manor Rose Xiadou, which won the BOP championship in 2013, adopted the method of washing, and it was this event that made many consumers in the Chinese market like to use the name of "Iron Man Rose Summer" when introducing the rose summer of Aurora Manor.

But then, in the 2014 BOP contest, Aurora Manor finished 10th in one of its roses named after his beloved granddaughter, Camilina Rose. In the 2016 BOP competition, Aurora Manor won the BOP championship again with its rosy summer in the sun, and this batch of roses and summer coffee beans are called Camilina Rose.

The fame of Aurora Manor has attracted the attention of Qianjie Coffee. In order to catch a glimpse of its elegant demeanour, of course it is necessary to start with a magnificent summer of Aurora Manor.

Front Street Coffee Panamanian Aurora Manor Rose Summer

Producing area: Walken producing area of Panama

Manor: auroral Manor

Altitude: 1500m Murray 1700m

Variety: Rose summer

Treatment: insolation

The front street starts with the rosy summer of the aurora manor. after picking the ripe coffee and red cherries, the staff will evenly lay them on the elevated bed and give them careful care to ensure that each fruit is evenly dry. give the sun roses of the aurora manor summer more obvious sweetness and stronger flavor.

Qianjie arranges roasting immediately after receiving this coffee raw bean, and carries on the cup test within 8 to 24 hours after baking. After cup test, the sun roses in Aurora Manor smell clear white flowers, sour berries, and a sense of juice such as sweet orange juice, with a hint of green tea.

Cooking suggestion

The roasters of Qianjie Coffee used the degree of light roasting in order to highlight the light white flowers and full juice of Panama Rose Summer when roasting the beans. Therefore, when cooking, Qianjie recommends using a finer degree of grinding and a higher water temperature.

Filter cup: Hario V60

Water temperature: 91 degrees Celsius

Amount of powder: 15g

Ratio of powder to water: 1:16

Grinding degree: the pass rate of Chinese standard No. 20 screen is 80%.

First inject 30 grams of hot water and steam for 30 seconds, inject fine water from the central point and slowly circle to 130 grams for segments, wait for the water level in the filter cup to drop to about to expose the powder bed and continue to circle water injection to 240 grams. When the water in the filter cup is completely dripped to the lower sharing pot, the filter cup can be removed, and the total extraction time is about 2 minutes.

Friends should have noticed that each type of coffee beans will be steamed in Qianjie. This is because when a small partner places an order to buy coffee beans from Qianjie, Qianjie will send out coffee beans baked within 5 days, and when they receive the goods, they have gone through a 4-7-day breeding period. The carbon dioxide gas in coffee beans provides a barrier for coffee powder particles and blocks the extraction of coffee flavor, while the steaming stage is for the precipitation of gas, which can stabilize the later stage of extraction and extract more flavor substances.

In addition, some partners do not have the equipment to grind coffee beans at home, and Qianjie also provides them with grinding services. Here, Qianjie needs to be reminded that after the coffee beans have been ground into powder, the exhaust activity is intensified and the speed at which the flavor substances dissipate is accelerated. Qianjie suggests buying whole beans and grinding them now.

Qianjie this aurora manor sun rose summer just after the bean cultivation period, the fragrance of white flowers is sweet, the entrance has sour notes of berries, the flavor of sweet orange, green tea and honey.
