A brief introduction to the grade difference between red standard rose summer and green standard rose summer analysis of the reason why rose summer is expensive

When it comes to expensive coffee, apart from the familiar Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, I believe the most we can hear is Panama Rosa Coffee beans. Do you know why Rosa coffee is so expensive? This article is in front of the street to get to know this popular variety of coffee.

Before Rosa rose became famous, it did not get much attention from growers because of its tall and thin tree shape, poor disease resistance, low yield and the average flavor of the species at lower elevations. In 2004, Rose Summer really entered the "Best Barnabas Raw Bean Competition" on the international coffee stage, showing exquisite jasmine and profound fruit aromas, shocked all the judges present, and was given an unprecedented high score. Won the championship of that year. Since then, the price of Rosa Coffee has reached record highs, and its reputation has spread all over the world.

The reason why Rose Summer is popular with coffee people is different from the thick black coffee in the traditional impression, it is more like a cup of fresh flower and fruit tea. With rich aromas and complex fruit flavors, reminiscent of a series of unusual aromas. At different temperatures, you can feel the delicate texture and sweet and sour fruit flavor fill the whole mouth. Rose summer has such extraordinary flavor characteristics that it has become the "ceiling" of many coffee people. What makes Rose Summer so popular is the Bole Jade Manor of Rose Summer Coffee.

Before becoming famous, Rosa originated from Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. In 1931, Rosa was first collected in the wild Kaffa Caffa forest south of Ethiopia in search of new disease-resistant varieties, named after the nearby Geisha Mountain. Later, after being transferred to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and other institutes for trial planting, the rose summer seed came to the Tropical Plant Research Center CATIE in Costa Rica in 1953 and was recorded as T2722. There are records of planting on many local farms, but the branches of Rosa rugosa are fragile and the yield is not high, so they are not favored by farmers and are not widely planted.

In the 1960s, CATIE gave T2722 Rose Summer to coffee farmers in Panama, and Rose Summer began to enter the promised land of Panama. In the 1990s, the Peterson family, the owner of the emerald estate, began to attach importance to coffee production and acquired a new high-altitude farm, Haramillo Jaramillo. Many coffee trees on the farm have leaf rust, but Daniel Peterson (Daniel Peterson) noticed that the rose summer tree was not seriously hurt, so they decided to transplant the rose summer, which was originally mixed with other varieties, to more areas of the farm and increase its altitude.

In 2003, the Peterson family finally discovered the potential of Rose Summer. When it was tested for the first time, it showed a very strong aroma of white flowers, extremely clean taste, showing a berry, citrus, bergamot-like finish, thus forming a very typical Panamanian Rosa flavor. The amazing crowd decided to take it to the 2004 BOP (Best Panamanian Coffee) competition and named it "Geisha". So today's stunning Panamanian rosy summer coffee is the T2722 variety of that year.

In addition to the Chinese name "Rose Xia", "Geisha" has the same spelling as "geisha" in Japanese, so "Geisha" is literally translated as "geisha" in Japan and "geisha" in Taiwan. Chinese mainland was first imported into China by Mr. Yuan of Jialu Meng Coffee in 2006 and translated as "Rose Summer".

Unlike other coffee varieties, the foliar system of Rosa coffee is very thin, which means that the efficiency of photosynthesis is very low, the roots are fragile, and the absorption of water and nutrients is slow, so coffee production is very small. In addition, rose summer is also very picky about the growth environment, requiring high altitude, fertile soil, clouds or plant shade, can not be directly exposed to the sun. The owner of the emerald manor said that the garden needs a large number of shade trees to block the sun for the delicate rosy summer, and traditional pruning should be used at the initial stage of planting, otherwise the plant is easy to die. The higher the altitude is, the longer the ripening time of coffee fruit is, and the more complex and unique flavor performance is.

Since Rose Xia became famous, coffee farmers all over the world have competed to grow this variety, not only in Central and South America. However, each producing area has its own unique style, and different customs will affect the quality and flavor of coffee, so Rosa also shows its own flavor and tonality. Qianjie believes that the most representative place is the birthplace of Rose Summer-Ethiopia and Panama, the famous place of Rose Summer.

We can often see on the market that the rose summer of the Emerald Manor has three brands: red mark, green mark and blue mark, which is classified by the Peterson family according to the flavor test of coffee cups in specific plots. From high to low are selected jadeite ESMERALDA SPECIAL (red bid batch, including competitive bidding), private collection PRIVATE COLLECTION (green label batch), volcanic rock rose summer Las Rocas (original blue standard).

The highest grade red label picked coffee fruit from Geisha (1600-1800 meters) at high altitude, with a cup score of more than 90 points, mainly from two farms, Jaramillo and Ca ñ asVerdes. Although it is highly faced with the challenges of planting and harvest, the flower and fruit flavor is the most prominent in the Pokuit region. The Jade Manor will hold independent bidding competitions. In the divided plots, the red bid lots for the competition are called competitive bids. The bidding lot will have a unique number, and each number corresponds to the entire lot of a lot. What we hear most often is the Mario (Mario) plot of Jaramillo Farm. The jadeite red standard rose summer coffee beans from Qianjie are from the Mario plot, using sun treatment, showing rich aromas of honey, citrus, roses, cream, compound fruits and black tea.

The green mark refers to the private collection of PRIVATE COLLECTION, selected from planting 1600-1800 meters above sea level, are picked from Jaramillo and Ca ñ as Verdess two plots, but the jadeite manor will not specifically identify the information of the land, so it will not participate in the bidding, although the grade is not as high as the red standard, it mainly reflects the iconic classic flavor of high-altitude rose summer. The green roses in front of the street are washed with water, and the cup test shows a more fresh and natural flavor of lemon, berries, grapefruit and Tieguanyin tea.

Qianjie believes that in order to present the classic "rose summer flavor", it is necessary to retain more flower aroma and acid, so the rose summer coffee beans in Qianjie use shallow baking, and the baking curve will be adjusted accordingly according to different treatment methods and different flavors.

Finally, after the coffee drops have been filtered, shake it gently first, and then you can taste the flavor of rose summer from the high temperature.
