Brief introduction of Panamanian Rosa Coffee in Qianjie

The species of Geisha was discovered in the rose forests of Ethiopia in 1931 and was later sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya. Introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936 and introduced to Costa Rica in 1953.

Not many people have paid attention to Rose Summer all the time. Until one day, Don Pachi was originally brought to Costa Rica from the town of GESHA in southwestern Ethiopia, and then Rosa entered Panama along the southern route, where Esmerada Manor in Panama separated it from other varieties and won the national coffee competition. Only in this way can Rose Summer officially enter everyone's line of sight.

Rosa coffee is particularly picky about the growing environment, requiring high altitude, cloud shade, fertile soil and enough accumulated temperature. The Aurora Coffee Manor is located in the northwest corner of the Chiriki province of Panama, with an average elevation of 1625 meters, an average annual temperature of 16 ℃ to 25 ℃ and an average rainfall of about 3500 mm. The plantation is semi-shaded, and the tree species are all endemic to the region, some of which are Haas alligator pear trees at high altitude. It is precisely because of this unique environment and climate that the coffee king can be cultivated.

The pronunciation of Geisha is the same as Japanese geisha, so it is also called geisha coffee. Because the tree species are taller than ordinary coffee trees, they are originally planted in a small area of the manor and are used as windbreaks.

No one knew about Rosa Coffee before 2004, and now it seems that there are several reasons: Rosa Coffee is mixed with other varieties of coffee; Rosa Coffee is not grown at high altitude (branches and hybrids of Rosa Coffee were planted in low-altitude areas of Brazil and Costa Rica, until 1997, the Daniel peterson family planted Rosa in the Jaramiilo plot at an altitude of 1650 meters); it has never been used as a single coffee to show its flavor and charm independently.

Until the 2004 Best Panamanian Bean Competition, La Esmeralda Daniel peterson showed Rosa Summer Coffee (unblended) to the competition judges. The legend began when Rosa Coffee won the first place in the world competition, with a price of US $21/lb.

Rose Summer (English Geisha)

Rosa, with slightly slender fruits and leaves, is a genetic mutant of Tibika and is said to have originated in the small town of Rosa in southwestern Ethiopia. Rose seeds were shipped to Tanzania in the 1930s and to Costa Rica in the 1950s. These two countries are the only important growers of Rosa outside Panama-although Panama is the best spokesman for Rosa.

In the high-altitude growing areas of Panama, Rosa proved to the world that it is an undisputed variety of coffee with tropical flavor, citrus and tea. Good coffee is loved by everyone, and I sincerely hope that Rosa can go to other countries.

Thanks to Boquete's unique climate, wet and dry seasons, ample sunshine and precipitation, and fertile soil formed by volcanic ash from Mount Baru, the coffee cultivation of Erida Manor quickly grew its own climate, and in 1929, the estate's coffee beans were exported to Germany for the first time, earning a good reputation for Panamanian coffee. In the following 3/4 centuries, the cultivation of Arida coffee, as a family manor, has developed continuously and formed its international reputation. The taste of imported black berries is obvious, clean and full, with a good sense of fat, good fusion of sweet and sour, high-altitude tree tomato flavor, and a long-lasting sense of fat.
