What is rosy summer? are Panamanian and Colombian coffee beans the same rosy summer?

"Rose summer coffee is really delicious! But I would like to ask, all in Central and South America, why is there such a big difference in the price of rosy summer coffee in Panama and Colombia? is it a kind of rosy summer coffee beans? " Yes, it is the same kind of rosy summer coffee beans, just as one person is raised by soil and water, and so is the cultivation of coffee.

There were also other unnamed coffee varieties sampled at the time, so this batch of coffee varieties were not directly named at the time, but were identified as those found in the Gesha Mountains of the Kafa Forest.

In the 1960s, in order to improve the resistance of local coffee trees to leaf rust, the owner of Panamanian Don Patch introduced T2722 in the Costa Rican Tropical Agricultural Education and Research Center and distributed some to other coffee plantations, while other estates received it. Because the fruit output of its coffee trees is too low, no one attaches importance to this variety and sells it mixed with other varieties at the time of harvest.

Until the son of the jadeite manor owner noticed the charming aroma of the variety, he divided it out and dealt with it separately, and sent it to the competition, and finally won the championship of the best BOP raw beans competition in 2004. The excellent performance of Rosa coffee beans immediately attracted the attention of the boutique coffee industry.

After the rose summer variety became famous overnight, the jadeite manor also said that only the area above 1600m could have a more charming coffee flavor, while the rose summer planted around 1500m had less charming aroma, but it lacked a sense of layering, and most coffee estates in Panama had the advantage of high altitude, so they all planted rosy summer varieties one after another. Even neighboring Colombia saw such an attractive variety and said it had a similar geographical environment, so it also introduced the cultivation of Rosa varieties.

For example, Columbia's Hope Manor, White Mountain Manor, San Pedro Manor, Baishan Manor and other coffee estates with high reputation in the region all grow rose coffee varieties.

This also proves that no matter how special the coffee variety is, there will be no less special flavor in the producing area. In the same two regions with good mountains and good water and fertile soil, Qianjie coffee is judged by cup testing and comparison of different varieties of coffee beans from these two regions. The coffee flavor in Panama shows an obvious sense of tea, with aromas of flowers and fruits, while the coffee flavor in Colombia shows delicate sour berries and a caramel finish.

In order to have a more intuitive comparison, Qianjie coffee brewed rose summer coffee beans grown in 1600-1800m altitude from Panamanian Jade Manor and washed rose summer coffee beans from Columbia Hope Manor 1700-1800m.

Because Rosa coffee grows at high altitude, the temperature difference between day and night gives coffee beans a long enough time to grow and flavor formation, so the beans of Rosa varieties are hard and easy to sink to the bottom and block the pores. Therefore, Qianjie Coffee recommends the use of Chinese standard No. 20 sieve with a pass rate of 78% (about the size of fine sugar) in the grinding fineness of coffee beans.

15g coffee powder, paired with Hario V60 small filter cup, then brewed with 1:16 powder-water ratio. One more portion of water is used to maintain the extraction rate of coffee, and on the other hand, the coffee concentration is reduced to 1.15%, 1.25%, which is the best flavor of coffee. In terms of water temperature, maintain 91 degrees Celsius.

When everything is ready, use three-stage boiling technique: start timing, the first injection to 30g water, carry out 30s steaming; then start the second small amount of water to 125g, wait for the powder bed water to go down to half and then inject water, and then continue to inject small water around 225g, after all the dripping filtration is completed, the total extraction time is about 2 minutes 10 seconds-2 minutes 20 seconds.

Jade Manor washed green roses summer coffee bean flavor: ginger, jasmine, berry, sweet orange, honey, Tieguanyin

Hope Manor washed Rosa coffee bean flavor: lime, jasmine, ginger sugar, oolong tea
