When it comes to rose summer coffee, the first thing that comes to mind of coffee fans must be the Panamanian emerald estate rose summer coffee beans, but with the development of the boutique coffee market, in recent years, Ethiopia, where the rose summer varieties of coffee beans originated, also has estates that produce high quality rose summer coffee. The manor is Rosa Village Manor, so these two major producing areas also produce rose summer coffee. Will there be any difference in flavor? What are the characteristics of each of these two manors? Qianjie Coffee this is through this article to give popular science to coffee fans.

The Origin of Rosa Coffee varieties

According to Qianjie Coffee, the rose summer coffee variety was discovered in the rose summer forest of Ethiopia in 1931. Rosa was then sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya, introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936, Costa Rica in 1953 and Panama in 1970.

However, according to Qianjie, Rosa coffee has not been paid attention to during this period, because the yield of Rosa coffee is very low, it is difficult to grow, and the economic benefit is low, so no one pays attention to it, and even regards it as a windbreak tree for other crops.

Panamanian Jade Manor

First of all, Qianjie Coffee first introduces the rose summer coffee beans of the Panamanian Jade Manor, because although the rose summer originated in Ethiopia, it is only carried forward in the Jade Manor, so it can also be said that the Jade Manor is the Bole of the rose summer coffee beans.

According to Qianjie Coffee, the history of the Emerald Manor originated in 1964, when Rudolph Peterson, an American banker, retired and moved to Panama and bought the Emerald Manor in Pokuit, primarily in dairy at first. Then his son Price resigned as a doctor to help his father run the farm, introduced Kaddura and Kaduai coffee beans in 1987, set up a washing plant in 1994, and has had its own coffee processing plant ever since.

The discovery of Rosa coffee was only an accident, because the Rosa coffee tree was supposed to have low yield and low economic benefits at that time, so it was used by the former landowner as a windbreak tree to protect Kadulakaduai coffee in other high-yielding areas.

It was under this background that the workers who picked the coffee fruit at the Jade Manor picked the rose summer coffee fruit as well. As a result, the owners found that the coffee bean was very special and had rich citrus flowers during the cup test. So they found the rose summer coffee tree and began to tap the potential of the rose summer coffee variety. In 2004, the Feicui Manor took the rose summer coffee beans to the competition alone. And Rose Summer Coffee beans did not disappoint Jade Manor, which won the first place in the BOP coffee cup test contest held in Panama, thus establishing Jade Manor's position in the boutique coffee industry.

Characteristics of Rosa coffee beans

As mentioned above in Qianjie Coffee, Rose Summer Coffee was a blockbuster in the BOP contest, so there was a wave of planting Rose Summer Coffee Tree in Panama at that time, but Rosa Coffee Tree is not so easy to grow, its yield is very low, and it has strict requirements on altitude, and there are also requirements for picking in the handling of raw coffee beans, which is blocked by various reasons. Not every manor can grow high-quality rosy summer coffee, which is one of the reasons why Panamanian emerald estate can occupy the rosy summer coffee market.

Secondly, Rosa coffee also has a very magical feature, that is, the worse the conditions, the better the flavor of the coffee fruit, but it will also be more difficult to pick.

Therefore, Jade Manor devotes most of its energy to the development of infrastructure to support excellent strict batch separation and fine processing, grading rose summer by plot planting, that is, the red sign rose summer now seen in the Qianjie coffee shop, green label rose summer, blue label rose summer.

Division of coffee planting area in jadeite manor

As mentioned above in Qianjie Coffee, the coffee beans planted in the Jade Manor are divided into regions, which are mainly divided into five brands according to altitude, microclimate, cup test performance and planting varieties. Among them, there are three brands of rose summer varieties: jadeite special selection (red mark), private collection (green mark) and rose summer 1500 (blue standard).

Among them, the three main plots of Jade Manor are "Jaramillo", "Canas Verdes" and "El Velo". And it will be refined to small plots again on each parcel.

Jaramillo:

The annual rainfall is 4000ml, the average temperature during the day is 19-25℃, the average temperature at night is 11-15℃, and the average altitude is 1600- 1700m. The Jaramijo plot is subdivided into five small plots: Mario (Mario), Noria (Ferris wheel), Reina (Queen), Bosque (Forest) and Buenos Aires.

Canas Verdes:

The annual rainfall is 3500ml, the average temperature during the day is 16-23℃, the average temperature at night is 10-15℃, and the average altitude is 1600- 1800m. Canas consists of nine plots: Lino, Coronado, Fundador, León, Montaa, Trapiche, Chinta, Cabaa, Tumaco.

Veil (El Velo):

The plot is the latest purchase of the Jadeite Manor, with an average elevation of 1700-1900m. In addition to planting Rosa and Kaduai, the site also has a small number of other exotic species, such as Laurina, Pakamara, Mocha and SL28. The veil is divided into seven small plots, namely: Guabo, Port ó n (Portal), Durazno (Peach), Higuer ó n (fig tree), Higo (fig), Buena Vista (Buena Vista) and guila (Eagle).

Classification standard of red, green and blue standards for jadeite manors

Jadeite Manor Red Standard Rose Summer

The rosy summer specially selected by jadeite is the red sign we often hear. It is a rosy summer coffee bean planted at an altitude of 1600-1800 meters, with a cup test score of more than 90 points and produced from two producing areas of Jalamiyou and Canaus Vedvis.

In addition, we also have to participate in the independent bidding held by the Jade Manor itself. In the divided plots, the Rose Summer batch that comes out for bidding is the red bid. However, there are also non-competitive red bids on the market, that is, the rose summer which is selected from the same plot and then circulated to the market, the varieties and quality are the same, but there are differences in the price.

Country: Panama

Producing area: Pocket (Emerald Manor)

Altitude: 1700 m

Variety: Rose summer

Treatment: sun treatment

Flavor: citrus, compound fruit, rose tea, honey

Jadeite Manor Green label Rose Summer

Private collection, commonly known as green standard, it is different from the red standard rose summer is that it is not an independent competition batch, but the quality is still excellent rose summer variety. The green standard rose summer selects micro-batch mixed beans from different plots such as Jalamiyou, Canaus Vedvis and so on, which are planted at an altitude of 1600-1800 meters.

Because the mode of mixed beans is adopted, it is not specified in detail on the plot, so sometimes the flavor similarity between green standard rose summer and red standard rose summer is very high.

Secondly, although the green standard rose summer is not as high as the red standard rose summer, it still has the classic flavor of rose summer, such as the unique floral, fruity, citrus, thick and juicy taste of rose summer coffee. Therefore, Qianjie Coffee believes that the price-to-performance ratio of Green Rose Summer is the highest of the three.

The flavor of blue rose summer is mostly micro-flower, sour and sweet, and the taste is not thick, so the price of blue rose summer is also the most affordable among the three standards, but its coffee beans still have a good rose summer flavor.

Ethiopia Guixia Village Manor

Rose Summer Village Estate is Ethiopia's most famous Rose Summer Coffee Estate. According to Front Street Coffee, the owner of the estate grows Rose Summer Coffee. In 2007, documentary director Adam Overton and his photographer wife Rachel Samuel came into contact with the Gera Coffee Forest in Bench-Maji while filming a documentary on Ethiopian coffee for the Ethiopian government. In the process, they not only rediscovered Ethiopia, but also developed the idea of establishing their own coffee estate and brand.

In 2009, they were lucky enough to meet Willem Boot, the famous mule farm owner and BOP judge, and Willem Boot's idea of "returning to Ethiopia to find the birthplace of Guixia" also provided an opportunity for the couple. In 2011, they returned to Banchimaki, where several areas known as rose summer villages are most likely to find native rose summer varieties.

Adam follows Willem Boot on an expedition through the surrounding forest, discovering a variety of wild coffee species in a dense forest (known as the Gori Rosewood Forest), the most surprising of which is the native Rosewood variety. So they collected seeds from native rose trees, sifted them, and planted them in rose village. And decided to establish the estate here, named Gesha Village Coffee Estate (Guixia Village Coffee Estate)

Planting conditions of coffee beans in Guoxia village manor

Rosa Village Manor is located in the Bancimaghi region (Bench Maji) in western Ethiopia, which is surrounded by dense jungle. Ruoxia Village is located with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and the ancient and vast forest can be overlooked from above. The owners Adam and Rachel searched for a suitable manor for three years and went to the native forest of Rose Xia under the guidance of the locals. It is a two-day drive from the capital, Adis, Addis Ababa.

Ruoxia Village Manor covers an area of about 471 hectares, coffee cultivation area of about 320 hectares, brown red loam soil. The planting density was maintained at 7000 coffee trees per hectare. The site is named after the name "Oma" in honor of religious leaders who are respected and loved by the people. The coffee beans in Ruoxia Village are full of complex flavor and are very rare. They are often selected by internationally competitive baristas to participate in the competition. Due to the maintenance of the local ecological environment, and has a good cooperative relationship with local residents. To give back to the local community, the Rosa Village Foundation was set up to promote educational development through the two schools adjacent to the manor.

Varieties of coffee beans in Guoxia Village

And Qianjie Coffee knows that in just more than ten years, the manor has grown three rosy summer varieties of coffee, of which Gesha1931 and Gori Gesha are named after the expedition when the coffee tree was discovered, and the other is Illubabor provided by the Ethiopian Coffee Research Center.

Gesha1931 is the closest to the Panamanian rose coffee variety, which is also confirmed by looking at the shape of the plant, the shape and size of the beans, and its cup test. The native variety of Gori Gesha was collected by the owners of Rosa Village through his own exploration in 2011 from the Gori Rosa wild coffee forest, which is 20 kilometers from the current Rosa Village Manor, and no duplicate samples have been found elsewhere.

Grading system of Rose Summer Coffee in Ruoxia Village

And according to Qianjie Coffee, Willem Boot also brought the Panamanian business model to the Rosa Village Manor, creating the current grading system of Rose Summer Coffee in the manor. That is, the bidding of Rosa Village on the menu of Qianjie Coffee Shop, gold bid, red mark, green mark, Chaka Rosa coffee beans.

However, these grading standards are still very different from those of Panamanian Emerald Manor Rosa Coffee. At present, there are Rose Summer Village Gold Standard batch Rose Summer, Red Standard batch Rose Summer and Chaka batch Rose Summer in Qianjie Coffee Shop. Next, Qianjie Coffee will briefly explain these grading standards of Rose Summer Coffee beans in Rose Village Manor.

Bidding batches: accounting for only 3.7% of the annual output of Rose Xia Village, the top batch of the carefully selected manor can only be obtained through the global bidding of 2018 Rose Xia Village Coffee Manor. The cup test score of the 2018 bidding batch is 88.15-92.67 points, which is divided into champion selection (Champion's Reserve) and manor selection (Farm Reserve). For example, Gesha Village 2018 Auction Lot RSV.6 belongs to the bidding batch.

Gold bid batch: the gold bid accounts for only 5% of the annual output of Ruoxia Village, which can almost be said to be of the same level as the bidding batch. The batches that contestants from all over the world usually choose, such as the WBC World Championship held in the Netherlands in 2018, the Australian and Japanese champions select gold bid batches to compete. Bakers with high quality requirements will also purchase, with complete traceability, each batch has outstanding flavor and high complexity, which is the best grade of the manor second only to competitive bidding. The gold mark of Rose Xia Village on Qianjie Street comes from Omar 059 batch.
