When asked about some coffee rookies, I know what the most expensive coffee in the world is. In many cases, the answer is Blue Mountain Coffee and Kopi Luwak. Here, Qianjie Coffee is going to show you the price of geisha Coffee.

This is the geisha Coffee from the geisha Manor of Ninety Plus (also known as 90 +), which belongs to batch # 2703A. The price of 60 grams of raw beans has gone up to 1200 US dollars, which does not include the freight. So you say, what grade is geisha coffee?

What is geisha?

Speaking of geisha, people's first reaction is mostly Panama geisha. And Africa geisha, the birthplace of coffee on the other side of the Atlantic. Here, Qianjie will show you about geisha Coffee.

The Communication History of geisha

The geisha variety was found in the geisha forest of Ethiopia in 1931 and then sent to the Coffee Research Institute of Kenya; in 1936, it was introduced to Uganda and Tanzania; in 1953, it appeared in Costa Rica; in 1963, Don Pachi Serracin introduced rose coffee species from Costa Rica to Panama, because the yield was not high, directly affecting the harvest, coffee farmers were not willing to grow high, has been regarded as a windbreak tree. After nearly half a century of obscurity, the present Panamanian Emerald Manor, Esmeralda Manor, has separated it from other varieties, making Geisha stand out in the BOP Competition (Panamanian Best Coffee, Best of Panama) in 2003 and finally winning the championship in the BOP Competition in 2004, bringing the variety into everyone's eyes.

When many people come into contact with geisha Coffee for the first time, they wonder, what is the difference between the geisha in Panama and the geisha in Ethiopia? Aren't they all geisha varieties?

Here, Qianjie coffee should knock on your little brain and solemnly explain: it is really different, not to mention different origin, even the varieties of coffee beans are different.

[Guoxia Village Manor]

When it comes to Ethiopian geisha, geisha here refers to the geisha Village Manor. In 2007, documentary director Adam Overton came up with the idea of a coffee estate and brand after filming the Ethiopian Coffee documentary; in 2009, BOP judge Willem Boot's idea of finding the birthplace of geisha provided an Adam opportunity; in 2011, he went to geisha Village and found native rose seeds in the surrounding forest, planted in geisha Village, and established the geisha Village Coffee Manor.

[variety]

Talk about geisha, but Ethiopia's geisha really has nothing to do with Panamanian geisha coffee. The main varieties of Ethiopian geisha coffee beans are: Gori geisha Gori Gesha (GG), geisha 1931 Geisha 1931 (G31), Illubabor Forest 1974 (IF).

Gori geisha: the size is very close to the native species Heirloom, but the appearance of some flat beans is very similar to the well-known geisha 1931. The aroma of raw beans is full of tropical fruit. Named after Gori Gori Forest, the birthplace of geisha Coffee, genetic diversity in the forest.

geisha 1931: geisha 1931 can be said to be a relatively common appearance of rose beans. Its size is similar to that of Typica, but its flavor is much different from that of Typica. The combination of varieties with different forests is very similar to Panamanian geisha, which is screened by observing its plant type, bean-shaped appearance, mesh size and cup flavor. geisha 1931 is selected from a number of geisha varieties, the one closest to Panama geisha. The selection of varieties depends on the shape of coffee plants, the appearance of coffee beans, and the results of cup tests. It is also named geisha 1931 because 1931 was the year in which the variety of geisha was discovered from Ethiopia.

IF: discovered during an expedition from 1974 to the Illubabor Forest, a variety with antibodies was developed by the Ethiopian Research Center.

[grading system of geisha Coffee beans in geisha Village]

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

Bidding lots: 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 Rose Xia Village Coffee Manor.

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 gold mark of Rose Xia Village on Qianjie Street comes from Omar 059 batch.

Red label batch: a batch with complete traceability, with a typical flavor of geisha Village, the flavor intensity and complexity are slightly weaker than the Gold Standard batch, and it is a single product batch with high performance-to-price ratio.

Green label batch: officially known as SINGLE-TERROIR (single Land / Land), this coffee bean comes from a single farm in the village of geisha. Complete traceability information for each batch in the Single-Terroir series can be found, including farm name, coffee variety and processing date.

Chaka batch: this is a mixture of geisha coffee beans from geisha Village, including three varieties, namely Gori Gesha, Gesha 1931 (Gesha 1931) and Illubabor (Esse native disease resistant variety).

The geisha of Panama

geisha this variety can be famous in the world, is more than the Emerald Manor of Panama this Bole.

[Jade Manor]

In 1964, Rudolph Peterson, an American banker, retired, moved to Panama and bought the emerald estate in Poquet, initially dominated by dairy. 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.

[land division of Ruoxia varieties in Jadeite Manor]

The jadeite manor is finely divided into three plots: Jaramillo, Canas Verdes and El Velo. Each piece of land will be refined to small plots again.

The annual rainfall of Jaramillo is 4000ml, the average temperature in daytime is 19-25 ℃, the average temperature at night is 11-15 ℃, and the average altitude is 1600-1700m. The Haramiyo site is subdivided into five small plots: Mario (Mario), Noria (Ferris wheel), Reina (queen), Bosque (forest) and Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires).

The annual rainfall of Canas Verdes is 3500ml, the average temperature in daytime is 16-23 ℃, the average temperature at night is 10-15 ℃, and the average altitude is 1600-1800m. Cannes consists of nine small plots: Lino (flax), Coronado (coronation), Fundador (founder), Le ó n (Leon), Montaa (peak), Trapiche (sugar), Chinta (urn), Cabaa (cabin) and Tumaco (Tumako).

Veil (El Velo) is the latest purchase of the Jadeite Manor, with an average elevation of 1700-1900m. In addition to planting geisha 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).

[jadeite Manor geisha Coffee rating system]

After years of experiments, it has been found that only geisha growing above 1400 meters above sea level can show its exquisite flavor. Therefore, the jadeite manor is dominated by the planting height, supplemented by the actual cup test results, and the geisha coffee planted in the manor is divided into three grades.

Esmeralda Special

Esmeralda Special is what we often call the red flag. The red label batch of geisha has an altitude of 1600-1800 meters and a cup test score of more than 90 points. It is mainly produced in two producing areas: Jaramillo and Canas Verdes. Red label batches will be washed or tanned. Red bid batches can only be obtained through global auctions.

Green label batch geisha is planted at an altitude of 1600-1800 meters above sea level, which is mainly produced in different lots such as Jaramillo, Canas Verdes and so on.

Because the mode of mixing different plots is adopted, sometimes the flavor similarity between green mark and red mark is very high.

Although the green standard is not as high as the red standard, it still has the classic flavor of geisha, floral, fruity, sour citrus, thick and juicy taste. Green-label batches of geisha are also washed or treated in the sun.

What grade is geisha Coffee? Why is it expensive? ]

Speaking of which, is everyone very moved? In fact, we do not need to be intimidated by the price of Ninety Plus geisha coffee, want to drink geisha coffee, in fact, the performance-to-price ratio of Jade Manor is also very high. But in a certain orange app search for the red sign geisha, many friends are also stopped.

There are four main reasons why Panama geisha coffee beans are expensive:

It was named Best Coffee by the Professional Coffee Association (SCA), an international coffee lovers' organization that covers different areas of the specialty coffee industry: growers / farmers, producers, roasters, manufacturers, importers / exporters, and retailers.

It's relatively rare. There are only a few producers of geisha in Panama. Because the growing conditions in Panama cannot be found outside Panama, Panamanian geisha coffee cannot be replicated in other regions or countries. Coupled with the threat of climate change and rust, geisha's survival has become more difficult.

Demand is increasing while supply is decreasing. Especially in Asia, such as China, the demand for geisha coffee has increased particularly sharply, which has also contributed to its rising prices.

The auction has also effectively raised the price of coffee. Due to the limited supply, only the highest bidder can get it.

Here, Qianjie Coffee has to say that the Panamanian Emerald Manor Green geisha Coffee roasted by Qianjie Coffee is fully guaranteed in terms of brand and quality. And more importantly, the performance-to-price ratio is extremely high, 100 grams per pack, the price is only 168 yuan. Calculated on the basis of 15 grams of coffee beans per cup, a bag can make six cups of coffee, which costs only about 28 yuan per cup, which is recommended by conscience compared to the price of hundreds of cups sold in cafes.

Suggestion on brewing coffee in Qianjie

The recommended brewing parameters for Qianjie coffee are: Hario V60 filter cup, 90 ℃ water temperature, 15 g powder quantity, 1:15 powder-to-water ratio, fine grinding in use (80% pass rate of Chinese standard No. 20 sieve).

Qianjie takes into account that these geisha beans are lightly roasted, and the dissolution rate of light roasted beans is lower than that of deep roasted beans, so in order to ensure that the flavor of geisha can be fully extracted, higher water temperature is used for brewing. At the same time, a finer degree of grinding is also selected.

Washing and cooking technique

Qianjie coffee uses staged extraction, also known as three-stage brewing, steaming with 30 grams of water for 30 seconds, small water injection around the circle to 125 grams for stages, water level drop to 225 grams when the powder bed is about to be exposed, remove the filter cup when the water level drop is about to expose the powder bed, (steaming starts timing) the extraction time is 2 grams 3900 ".
