The source of Panamanian geisha coffee beans: geisha coffee flavor jade manor and ninety plus geisha coffee

Geisha coffee beans can be said to be the most famous and expensive variety of coffee beans in recent years! This origin can be traced back to Panamanian boutique coffee. Before 2004, Panamanian boutique coffee was not valued by the international coffee industry. However, after 2004, "geisha coffee" was discovered and became famous. Repeatedly won the Panamanian national treasure bean cup test, all the way to 2007.

Geisha coffee beans come from Ethiopia

Although geisha coffee beans have flourished in Panama, after expert identification, the variety of geisha coffee beans actually comes from Ethiopia's coffee gene treasure trove, the Cafa Forest, or Gesha Moutain, southwest of Ethiopia, at an altitude of about 1700 to 2100 meters above sea level. But what is puzzling is why Ethiopia did not keep such high-quality coffee and gave it to Panama. In fact, there is a description of the geisha in the official archives of Ethiopia. At that time, the geisha was found to have strong disease resistance and could be used to "mix" with other coffee trees, so as to enhance the disease resistance of other coffee trees. However, the flavor was not described and the production capacity was not good, so it was completely lost for a long time, and it was not discovered until recently, so some people speculated about the change of the flavor of geisha. Is it because of the soil and water environment in Panama that the flavor of geisha has greatly increased? But it remains to be confirmed.

Geisha coffee beans are famous

Geisha coffee beans were actually found in Jhala Miyou Manor, but before talking about this manor, we have to mention the Peterson family. The estate owned by the Peterson family at the beginning is actually the now familiar "Emerald Manor". In 1996, the Peterson family was optimistic about the landscape environment and coffee quality of the Jalami manor, so they bought the whole manor!

The coffee at Jalami Manor tastes very different from Panamanian coffee, with a hint of orange, flowers and fruits, but the Peterson family has not been sure which coffee tree breeds this flavor. therefore, the Peterson family tested the coffee trees in the manor one by one and found that the coffee tree used by the previous owner as a windbreak tree was actually a coffee tree with a unique flavor. So immediately put the coffee in the area independent, to participate in the 2004 cup test, really a blockbuster, but also let everyone know the geisha coffee!

Geisha coffee is grown in all countries, how to choose it?

As the flavor of geisha coffee varieties is loved by many people, it has strong aromas of citrus, jasmine, almonds and mangoes, sweet nectar, and bright and changeable acidity, which makes coffee countries compete to grow them.

But even if it is the same coffee variety, in different coffee growing environment, the flavor can be very different!

Each region's unique climate, planting altitude, humidity, sunshine length, soil, growers, and even the entire coffee fruit after picking process, will seriously affect the coffee flavor! The flavor of coffee is obviously different from geisha in Panama, Colombia, Ethiopia and other places.

In order to facilitate more coffee lovers to understand geisha coffee, two indicators are proposed so that most people can have a direction: Emerald Manor and 90 + (Ninety plus).

Jadeite Manor

The Emerald Manor was the first estate owned by the Peterson family mentioned above. after local tests, they found that geisha coffee above 1400 meters above sea level had the best flavor, so they used the way of "altitude is dominant, cup test is secondary." to distinguish between red, green and blue geisha coffee beans.

Red bids are of the best quality, all are competitive beans, planted at an altitude of 1600 to 1800 meters, and can only be purchased through the global auction conference.

The green bid is not a bidding bean, but the altitude and quality are also close to that of the red bid.

The blue mark is not a bidding bean, and the elevation is lower, about 1500 meters above sea level.

Ninety plus ninety plus

90+ is a world-famous coffee raw bean industry, as the name implies, their raw bean cup test scores are more than 90 points, and have unique cultivation and processing technology, strict control of coffee flavor. They work with many coffee farmers and have their own coffee estates, including geisha coffee, a special Ninety Plus Geisha Estate estate, and a variety of innovative treatments to name each geisha coffee, which is very competitive!

Conclusion

In fact, the name of geisha coffee has always been controversial. Geisha and Gesha are both used, and Geisha is actually the same name as Japanese female art performer "geisha", so most people hear "geisha coffee", but there is also another name called "rose summer". In fact, it is necessary to distinguish it from Japanese geisha in order to avoid confusion.

You can see geisha coffee beans from all over the world in some self-baking shops, and the prices are also high and low. Of course, geisha from 90 + or Jade Manor are definitely expensive, but which kind of geisha coffee is most suitable for your wallet and drink? The answer will only be known through your own test!
