Where is the hometown of Rosa Coffee? Maybe a lot of people blurted out Panama. In fact, Rose Summer Coffee was found in the rose summer forest of Ethiopia in 1931 and spread to Panama one by one in several countries over the past few decades. In 2004, the owner of the Panamanian Jade Manor found that this rich floral "treasure" was taken to the forefront of the boutique market. So are there any coffee beans in the Rose Summer Forest? Yes! A while ago, Qianjie started a cup test of green standard coffee beans from the estate of Rosa Village in Ethiopia, and then Qianjie came to talk about the flavor characteristics of this sunny rose village green label coffee beans.

The Legend of the Manor of Guoxia Village

In 2007, documentary director Adam Overton and photographer wife Rachel Samuel came into contact with the Gera Coffee Forest in the Banchi Maji region while shooting a documentary about Ethiopian coffee for the Ethiopian government, and in the process they came up with the idea of building their own coffee estate and brand.

In 2009, they were lucky enough to meet the famous mule owner and BOP judge Willem Boot, and Willem Boot's idea provided an opportunity for the Overton couple to return to Ethiopia to find the birthplace of Rose Summer. Finally they came to Banchi Magi, an area in southwestern Ethiopia near South Sudan, where many places are known as the village of Gesha and where primitive roses are most likely to be found.

Adam followed WillemBoot on an adventure in the forest around the manor. In a jungle magically surrounded by a thick forest, he found a variety of wild tree species, and what surprised them most was to find the wild rose summer. Later they learned that this was the place where the rose species were first found in the Gori Gesha forest. So they collected seeds from native rose trees, screened them, and planted them in Rosa Village. They decided to build the estate here and name it Gesha Village Coffee Estate, a 475-hectare coffee farm about 12 miles from the Gori Gesha Forest. Unlike most Ethiopian farms, Guixia Village is not a small farm, but a 500-hectare farm with its own washing plant and laboratory, and the whole farm only grows Rosa varieties. It is not generally impossible to determine specific varieties of Ethiopian native species.

Coffee varieties in Ruoxia Village

There are three varieties in Rosa Village, named after the expedition when the coffee was discovered: Gesha1931 (Rosa 1931) and Gori Gesha (Gori Rose) and Illubabor provided by the Ethiopian Coffee Research Center.

Gesha1931 is confirmed by observing the shape of the plant, the shape and size of the beans, and its cup test that it is the closest female parent to the Panamanian summer. On the other hand, the Gori Gesha variety was collected by the owner of Rosa Village through his own expedition in 2011 from the Gori Rosa wild coffee forest, 20 kilometers from the current Rosa Village farm, and no duplicate samples have been found anywhere else.

Ruoxia Village Manor uses a product line configuration similar to that of Jadeite Manor, which is divided into RARITIES (Gold Standard), GROWERS RESERVE (Red Standard), SINGLE-TERROIR (Green Standard) and CHAKA (Chaka).

Like Gold Standard, Red Mark and Chaka batch, Qianjie has previously tested Gold Standard, Red Mark and Chaka respectively, all of which have a good impression. This time, the official name of the green rose summer is SINGLE-TERROIR (single Land / Land), and this coffee bean comes from a single farm in Rosa Village. Complete traceability information for each batch in the Single-Terroir series can be found, including farm name, coffee variety and processing date. The estate of Ruoxia Village is strictly divided into plots, and different varieties of coffee are planted in each area. This green rose is grown in summer from Bangi, located in the northwest of the village, and its variety is Gori Rose.

Exquisite sun treatment of manor

The Roxia Village Coffee of Qianjie Coffee is sun-treated. First remove the floating impurities, and then cover the sun with a thin layer of plastic sheeting on the African-style elevated scaffolding. when drying with a tanning bed, they will be screened again to select worm-eaten beans and coffee beans that are green in color. The total drying time is 18-30 days. Qianjie believes that the sun-treated coffee has obvious sweetness, soft acidity and the tonality of compound fruits in flavor.

Roasting Analysis of Qianjie Coffee

As this batch is the coffee of the new production season in 2020, the moisture content is high, and the dehydration time will be prolonged during this period. Determine the final baking degree as medium-shallow baking to highlight the sweetness of the fruit.

Yangjia 800N, soybeans 500g: furnace temperature 175℃, firepower 130g, throttle opening 3; tempering point 1temperature 92.8℃, open throttle to 4 in 3 minutes, firepower raised to 140in 3 minutes; when furnace temperature is 152.6 ℃, bean table turns yellow, grass smell disappears completely, entering dehydration stage, wind firepower drops to 100mm. The smell of toasted bread has obviously changed to the smell of coffee, which can be defined as a prelude to an explosion. At this time, it is necessary to listen carefully to the sound of the explosion point. The sound of the explosion point starts to explode until the blast starts at the ninth percussion, the throttle opens to five, and after the explosion, the development of the bread toast turns to the coffee scent, and 193.5 ℃ goes into the pot.
