Does Rosa Coffee Bean belong to Arabica? what kind of Panamanian Rosa Coffee Tree

In the cognition of some coffee lovers, there are two kinds of boutique coffee flavor, one is the extremely delicate Rosa coffee, and the other is the rest of the varieties. The rosy summer coffee beans of Panama have become the representative of the top coffee in today's trend. In the cup test of Qianjie coffee, the fresh fragrance of rose summer coffee, rich fruit flavor and refreshing tea feeling always refresh Qianjie's understanding of rose summer again and again.

The unique flavor and expensive varieties of Rosa coffee have driven coffee growers everywhere to follow suit to grow this variety of Rosa coffee. Today, rosy summer coffee trees have been found in Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and even in Yunnan and Taiwan in China.

Even though Rosa Coffee has spread all over the country, it has become an indisputable fact that Rosa Coffee is popular in Panama and originated in Ethiopia. In the 1930s, Colonel Wally from England was assigned to Ethiopia to collect 10 pounds of coffee seeds. In 1936, he completed the task and wrote a letter referring to the GEISHA coffee variety. Subsequently, all the coffee seeds collected were put in the same bag and marked GEISHA to be sent to the British Embassy in Kenya.

The Lean Mugu Research Centre in Tanzania subsequently received some of the results from Kenya. Since then, five Rose Summer strains of VC496~VC500 have been cultivated in Tanzania. Among them, VC496 had excellent resistance to leaf rust and became a bright star in the institute, and then sent it to CATIE, the original coffee breeding center in Costa Rica, in 1953 to study the varieties of coffee resistant to leaf rust. Costa Rica incorporated and re-coded VC496 as T2722.

In the 1960s and 1970s, coffee leaf rust was rampant in Central America, causing chills among coffee growers. In 1963, Mr. Don Pachi, who worked for the Panamanian Ministry of Agriculture, distributed the rose summer coffee seeds numbered T2722 to coffee farmers in the Buquet region for planting.

However, compared with the Kaddura and Kaduai varieties popular in Central America at that time, the yield of rose summer was not only reduced by 2/3, but its branches were so fragile that it could hardly withstand the fierce wind and rain. In addition, the so-called hero of the times, it was an era of instant coffee and heavy roasting, so the uniqueness of Rose Summer was hidden for nearly half a century before it was discovered.

The reason why Rose Summer Coffee can have today's leading position, Emerald Manor is an indispensable Bole. In the BOP competition at the end of the 20th century, the Emerald Manor often finished at the bottom. In order to improve the quality of the manor coffee, the owner of the Emerald Manor obtained the seeds of several coffee varieties from CATIE in Costa Rica and recorded and compared them, and finally found that Rosa coffee has a complex fruit flavor and honey-like sweetness, which is completely different from the typical Central American coffee flavor (nut, caramel).

In 2004, Daniel of Emerald Manor carefully selected a competition batch to participate in the 2004 BOP competition. The unique flavor of Rosa stunned the judges and won the BOP championship of the year, and then broke the auction price of raw coffee beans. All of a sudden, Rosa became a top coffee, and the landowners woke up in a dream, setting off an upsurge of planting Rosa.

Qianjie Coffee, as one of the participants in the coffee industry, can find many rosy summer coffee beans of different origin and high quality on the market every year. There are many varieties of rose coffee from Central and South America on the bean list on the front street: Colombia, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica and so on.

However, through cup test and comparison, Qianjie believes that if you want to taste the classic Rosa coffee flavor, Panamanian Rosa coffee is unmatched by other countries because of its white flower aroma, honey sweetness, complex juice and clean taste.

Of the three main coffee producing areas in Panama, the Bukuit and Walken producing areas are the most famous, close to the famous Baru volcano, with dense primeval forests and rich soil. climate and soil have made indelible contributions to the production of high-quality coffee beans with excellent taste and flavor.

The quality of Panamanian Rose Summer is roughly equated with its auction price: $21 per pound in 2004, $601 per pound in 2017 and $1300 per pound in 2020. Competitive Rosa coffee beans are rare, but non-competitive Rosa coffee beans are also worth tasting.

On the front street coffee menu, there are many rose summer coffee beans that are non-competitive but also from top Rosa Coffee Manor: Emerald Manor, melon and fruit Manor, Sofia Manor, Arida Manor, Deborah Manor, Nugo Manor, Jensen Manor, Donkey Manor, Aurora Manor, etc.

The Emerald Manor is the discoverer of the variety of Rosa coffee and the promoter of the flavor of Rosa coffee. Qianjie believes that if you want to taste the classic rose summer coffee flavor, it must come from the jadeite manor. Among them, the emerald manor red sign rose summer as the manor's classic coffee brand, is also Qianjie strongly recommended to the friends who tried Panama rose summer for the first time.

Emerald Manor attaches great importance to the red mark, the brand's Rosa coffee beans are produced from more than 1700 meters, but also can be detailed notes to a certain plot, in addition to the cup test score of more than 90 points.

Qianjie specially selected the Rose Summer Coffee beans of the same plot as the 2004 BOP champion batch of the Jade Manor in Qianjie, that is, the Rose Summer Coffee beans of the Mario plot of Haramillo Farm, and adopted the most traditional treatment-sun treatment, which greatly enhanced the sweetness and texture of the whole coffee.

The roaster of Qianjie Coffee adopts the degree of medium-light roasting in order to retain more floral aroma and fruit acid in Rosa coffee when setting the baking curve.

As life becomes more and more nourishing, people put forward strict requirements for the freshness of food, and coffee beans are no exception. Qianjie delivery within 5 days of freshly roasted coffee beans, received after 4 to 7 days of bean cultivation period, is the best taste period.

However, Qianjie will occasionally receive feedback that the taste of the coffee is too rough, the flavor is light, the throat is dry, and so on. This is because after the coffee beans are roasted, the beans contain enough gas, and when the coffee beans are cooked, the gas with sufficient internal structure will inhibit the release of flavor substances. And coffee beans after a long period of time, the taste will tend to be more round and full. Of course, anxious friends can carry out steaming steps during cooking to promote gas emissions.
