Nowadays, when people talk about expensive coffee, Blue Mountain Coffee no longer occupies the c position. In recent years, with consumers' pursuit of fresh and refreshing taste of coffee, rosy summer coffee from Panama has become the focus of attention. One is the limited cleanliness and freshness of rose summer coffee, the taste of citrus scented tea, and the other is that some Panamanian rose summer coffee is really expensive!

In September 2022, Panama's famous Lamastus family sold Rose Summer Coffee from Alida Manor Aguacatillo batches at a separate auction for $6000 per pound (more than RMB 40, 000). According to the official website of the auction family, the batch of Rosa Coffee is grown in the highest store of Arida Manor, which is more than 2000 above sea level and produces 7 pounds of Rosa beans.

Why is Rosa coffee so expensive?

Because Rosa coffee is a very delicate kind of coffee.

According to Qianjie Coffee, compared with other Arabica varieties, the roots of rose summer varieties are very small and fragile, and the leaves and branches are not enough to bear capacity, so the amount of fruit per tree is not too much. it is half the yield of Kaddura and Kaduai, which are common in Central and South America.

As the roots are fragile, and Central and South America are more vulnerable to hurricanes, torrential rains and other bad weather, so as long as the wind and heavy rain, the season's rose summer fruit will be less, the quality will also be affected to a certain extent.

According to Panama's annual coffee production of 10,000 tons, Rosa coffee accounts for only 3% of that. While the Bole Emerald Manor, which produces the most rosy summer coffee in Panama, produces only about 270 kilograms of rosy summer coffee a year.

The conditions required for the cultivation and growth of Rosa coffee are really harsh!

Although Rose Summer Coffee itself is weak, but it just likes in some day and night temperature difference, the environment is not very comfortable, Rain Water can not be too much but not too little, above 1500m above sea level in order to have a delicate and charming flavor.

For this reason, it can be said that its roots bear what it should not bear at this age. Because of this, the fruit rate of Rosa Variety is less, but the root provides sufficient nutrition for each fruit, and slows down the growth and maturation rate because of the temperature difference between day and night.

Therefore, more than 1500m Rosa coffee beans can show a charming flavor like perfume, the fragrance of all kinds of flowers, the sour taste of citrus berries, and tea-like sweetness. The higher the altitude, the more exquisite the flavor. This is why Rosa coffee beans grown in many well-known Panamanian estates at high elevations can be sold at such high prices.
