Panamanian Rose Summer Coffee Bean grading system what does Red label Green Standard Blue Standard Rose Xia mean

Speaking of Rose Summer, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind for many friends is the Rose Summer Coffee from the Emerald Manor of Panama. Rosa grew up in Ethiopia, but it is famous in the Emerald Manor of Panama. But Qianjie tells everyone: the rose summer coffee of Ethiopia is different from that of the jadeite manor, and the flavor of the rose summer coffee of the jadeite manor is slightly better.

Panamanian coffee

Why are Panamanian coffee beans so famous? We all know that coffee is a kind of crop, and of course it has a close relationship with the climate and environment. And the climate of Panama makes the famous coffee. Bordering Costa Rica and Colombia, Panama's east-west environment allows cold air to flow through the Central Mountains and converge at more than 1900 meters above sea level, thus creating a very unique microclimate in the Poquet Boquete and Kendra Piedra de Candela region, with temperatures and rainfall very suitable for plant growth, which is the main producer of Panamanian coffee. In addition to the climate, the land around this area is rich in nutrients, and the fertile soil provides perfect conditions for the growth of coffee, creating a large number of unique, high-quality coffee.

Jade Manor La Esmeralda talks about Rose Summer Coffee, then it must be Jade Manor. In 1964, Rudolph Peterson, an American banker, retired, moved to Panama and bought the emerald estate in Poquet, initially dominated by dairy. Then his son Price resigned as a doctor to help his father run the farm, introduced Kaddura and Kaduai coffee beans in 1987, set up a washing plant in 1994, and has had its own coffee processing plant ever since.

At present, the Emerald Manor mainly has three manors to grow rose summer varieties: veil El Velo, Cannes Vidis Caas Verdes, Haramillo Jaramillo. Haramillo Jaramillo, which has a superior geographical environment and good flavor of the original coffee variety, was bought in 1996. Veil El Velo was acquired by Jade Manor in 2012. Qianjie Coffee believes that the acquisition of a high-altitude manor like Jade Manor was a unique decision at that time, which made it possible for the Jade Manor to occupy a certain position in the coffee industry.

After winning the championship of BOP in the Panamanian bean competition in 2004, it was later identified by experts that the coffee bean was a rose summer variety of Ethiopia. Since then, the Peterson family has focused most of its efforts on developing infrastructure to support excellent batch separation and fine processing.

Classification standard of red, green and blue standards for jadeite manors

Although Rose Summer was discovered and famous by the Jade Manor, and now all the producing countries in the world are studying and growing Rose Summer Coffee, the Jade Manor has a strict division of the coffee beans produced in the manor. What do we often hear about red, green and blue marks? According to what is it divided?

Coffee beans are graded according to size, by cup measurement, by defective bean ratio, by altitude, and so on. What is the grading of rose summer coffee beans in Feicui Manor? Qianjie learned that the main classification of the jadeite manor is the planting height, supplemented by the actual cup test results, and the rose summer beans are classified as "red, green and blue".

Top-level-Red bid [bidding lot]

The rosy summer specially selected by the Emerald Manor is the red sign we often hear. Select rose beans from two producing areas, Jaramillo and Ca ñ as Verdess, with an altitude of 1600-1800 meters and a cup test score of more than 90 points. It is also the highest quality rose summer bean, the bidding batch of rose summer coffee beans can be traced back to which plot the coffee beans came from. The red label rose summer coffee beans only come from this single plot and will never be mixed with the rose summer of other plots. This grade of rose summer is treated in the sun or water, with special, bright floral and citrus aromas.

Green label [collection batch]

The green mark is a micro-batch of mixed beans from three different estates of Jaramillo, Quiel and Caas Verdes at an altitude of 1500-1800 m. The green mark comes from the rose summer coffee beans mixed with beans from all the plots in the Jade Manor. Although the green mark is not as high as the red mark, it is not the highest bidding bean, but it still has the classic flavor of rose summer, floral, fruity, citrus sour, thick and juicy taste. The green sign of rose summer is also washed or tanned. Because its elevation is the same as the red mark, but only a mixed harvest, therefore, the view of Qianjie coffee is that it is the most cost-effective grade of jadeite. Green label rose summer is usually treated with water wash. this grade of rose summer beans is still with the classic flavor of rose summer coffee beans, floral, fruity, citrus sour, thick and juicy taste.

Blue label [selected batch]

The blue standard is to plant the mixed harvest of rose summer at an altitude of 1500 meters and below. Mixed beans from three different estates of Jaramillo, Caas Verdes and El Velo, including the rose summer near the jadeite estate, can be defined as the blue label. Rose summer 1500 this brand is our common blue standard rose summer. At present, Blue Standard Rose Summer has water-washed and sun-treated beans, while sun-dried Rosa coffee beans were introduced in small quantities at the end of 2019.

In 2021, there came the news that the blue label brand of the Jadeite Manor was cancelled. In the same year, a rose summer coffee bean named "volcanic Rock" from the same area appeared. After the verification of the front street, the volcanic roses were treated by the Jade Manor. Its flavor is also highly similar to that of the blue standard rose summer in previous years.

Thus it can be seen that the biggest difference between the red mark, the green mark and the blue mark is the difference in altitude. Qianjie has said that the higher the altitude, the better the flavor of coffee beans, so the quality of red mark and green mark will be better than that of blue mark. Qianjie thinks that these three kinds of rose summer coffee are very good coffee, personal taste is different, some people like to taste fuller, some people like to understand this point, so it is up to the individual to choose which kind of rose summer coffee.

Suggestion on Rose Summer brewing of Qianjie Coffee

For coffee brewing, the front street is suggested that freshly roasted coffee beans can better reflect the rich flavor of coffee. So the coffee beans sold on Qianjie are roasted within 5 days. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives the coffee. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

Considering that the roasted beans are lightly roasted and the solubility of light roasted beans is lower than that of deep roasted beans, the barista in front street uses a higher water temperature for brewing at a higher water temperature in order to ensure that the flavor of roasted coffee can be fully extracted. at the same time, a finer degree of grinding is also selected.

The recommended brewing parameters for Qianjie coffee are: Hario V60 filter cup, 90 ℃ water temperature, 15 g powder quantity, 1:15 powder-to-water ratio, fine grinding in use (80% pass rate of Chinese standard No. 20 sieve).

The method of brewing coffee in the front street

Then pick up the whole cup of coffee and shake it well, then pour it into the cup and taste it.
