Strong floral aroma, tropical fruit aroma, strong acidity and sweetness like a cup of fruit juice taste, this is the impression of geisha coffee on Qianjie. Maybe you don't know the story of geisha Coffee, an ancient variety of Ethiopian coffee beans from the Gori Rose Forest, which was sent as a sample to Kenya for study. then it was introduced to Uganda, Panama and other countries, and eventually one of the Ethiopian coffee varieties, geisha coffee, blossomed in the national capital of Panama.

Panamanian geisha coffee is introduced in many articles in Qianjie, so today Qianjie introduces you from the hometown of geisha coffee-the village of geisha in Ethiopia. The coffee beans of Africa and Ethiopia are very similar to the rich fruit flavor and floral elements of Yega Xuefei. However, under the influence of weather, soil and altitude, there are also differences between geisha Coffee and coffee beans from Yega Sheffield.

Rose coffee is also known as geisha coffee, because the pronunciation of geisha is similar to Japanese, so it has two names. geisha coffee is actually a derivative of the Tippica family. It is the name of a coffee variety, not the name of a coffee. The planting pattern in geisha Village is not the same as that of ordinary Ethiopian wild coffee trees, but only geisha varieties and Illubabor provided by the local Ethiopian Coffee Research Center. The owners of geisha Village are documentary filmmaker Adam Overton and photographer's wife Rachel Samuel. They planted the varieties of geisha coffee harvested in the Gera Coffee Forest in the Banchi Maggie area on their own estate, which is the Rose Village Manor introduced in Qianjie today.

According to Qianjie, geisha Village Manor and Panamanian Emerald Manor have a strict grading system, which are competitive bidding, gold bid, red bid, green bid geisha and Chaka batches. The front street is also on the shelves from geisha Coffee beans from geisha Village. Through a cup test in Qianjie, it is found that the flavors of Panamanian geisha coffee and geisha village coffee are very different. By comparison, it is found that the green label cleanliness of the jadeite manor is very excellent, without any miscellaneous smell, the taste is very smooth, and the scent of flowers and tea is more prominent. On the other hand, the green standard geisha in geisha Village is more inclined to candied fruit flavor and has a higher sweetness. On the one hand, the difference of the flavor of the two green marks also comes from the planting altitude.

The elevation of geisha Village is relatively high, and the general coffee tree species are between 1900 and 2000 meters above sea level, which is higher than that of geisha Coffee in the Emerald Manor of Panama. For example, the elevations of the red and green signs in Panama are between 1600 and 1800 meters, while the elevations of the blue marks are lower, generally between 1400 and 1500 meters. The high altitude of Ruoxia Village is very conducive to the formation of coffee flavor substances, the higher the altitude, the greater the hardness of the beans, the flavor is very good.

Another country famous for its honey treatment also grows geisha coffee, which is the small Candle Manor in Costa Rica. In fact, in addition to the geisha village in Ethiopia and Panama, the climate of Xiao Candle Manor is also very suitable for growing geisha coffee. The temperature difference between day and night in Xiao Candle Manor is very large, which slows down the growth of coffee trees. As a result, coffee slowly accumulates coffee substances, which takes a long time and accumulates more substances, so the wind layer of brewed coffee will be richer, Qianjie believes. The flavor of coffee at high altitude is generally better than that at low altitude.

Therefore, Qianjie is also very curious about the flavor of Costa Rican geisha coffee, so it also acquired a small candle manor geisha coffee beans, which is a rose coffee treated with water. Unlike Essex geisha coffee, which is only treated in the sun, the water washing method is mainly used to highlight the bright acidity and rich floral aroma of geisha coffee.

Therefore, first, the screened coffee fruit is put into a peeling machine to initially remove its skin and pulp; the coffee beans with residual pectin are put into water and let them ferment for about 24 hours; after fermentation, the raw coffee beans with parchment are washed in a flow tank to remove their pulp and pectin; after cleaning, the coffee beans are dried or dried with the help of a dryer to reduce the moisture content to about 12%. Finally, remove the parchment of raw coffee beans.

Qianjie coffee will be tested 8 hours after each round of beans, using the 200ml standard cup test bowl, using the No. 20 standard sieve pass rate of 70% Mel 75% grinding degree, powder content 11.1g. The water temperature is 94 degrees Celsius. First grind and smell the dried incense. The dried fragrance of this small candle manor exudes citrus aroma. Then fill the bowl with water, the wet fragrance smelled again is full-bodied flowers, 4 minutes later to break the residue, taste the flavor, the overall flavor of this rose coffee is: jasmine, lemon, green tea, honey. Then Qianjie uses the following cooking parameters for cooking:

Filter cup: V60 # 01

Powder content: 15g

Ratio of powder to water: 1:15

Degree of grinding: BG6m (pass rate of No. 20 screen is 80%)

Water temperature: 90-91 degrees

Then use the three-stage method commonly used in Qianjie coffee extraction, first with 30 grams of water for steaming for 30 seconds, small flow around the circle injection to 125 grams for stages, water level drop is about to expose the powder bed to continue water injection to 225 grams to stop water injection, such as the water level drop is about to expose the powder bed to remove the filter cup, (steaming starts timing) extraction time is 2 grams 39th 01 ".

The flavor of the geisha coffee brewed in this way is basically the same as that measured by the Qianjie cup, with a strong aroma of jasmine, with lemon-like acidity and a honey-like green tea finish. Compared with Essex geisha Coffee, Xiao Candle Manor's geisha Coffee is not as rich as high altitude geisha Coffee, and its sweetness is lighter than that of geisha Village Coffee.

The geisha Coffee mentioned in the front street above has its own characteristics. geisha Coffee ranks first in Panamanian coffee, on a par with the world's most expensive Blue Mountain Coffee in Jamaica and Kona Coffee in Queen's Manor of Hawaii. it is enough to prove the uniqueness of the flavor of geisha coffee.
