Qianjie Coffee will be questioned by guests when mixing coffee beans in Panamanian rose summer is not a single coffee bean. The information obtained from the inspection of Qianjie coffee shows that, due to the historical reasons of the manor, in order to pursue yield at that time, the early rose summer varieties were mixed with the coffee trees of Kaddura and Kaduai, and in order to facilitate picking, coffee farmers later subdivided three varieties and directly mixed the three varieties at the time of export to achieve the mellow flavor they wanted to express. The three varieties in the flower butterfly are all from the same place and the same producing area, so it belongs to the single bean.

Qianjie believes that coffee beans made from a mixture of different varieties are also called "blending" just to highlight one of the varieties, not in the traditional sense. Just like the native varieties in Ethiopia, they are planted in a mixed form because of the complexity of the varieties. The difference between Ethiopian native varieties and rose summer blending is that one is natural mixing and the other is artificial mixing.

Pokuit producing area of Panama

Boquete

Pokuit is well known as one of the coffee producing areas of Panama. it is located to the east of Mount Baru. Pokuit has excellent planting conditions, with coffee growing at 1200 to 2000 meters, with a minimum temperature of about 11 degrees Celsius and a maximum temperature of about 27 degrees Celsius, which is neither frost nor too high, with a large temperature difference at the same time. Because of the altitude and soil advantages, Qianjie tests the different coffee beans in the area by cup, the flavor can be mellow nutty aroma, can also be charming flower and fruit aroma, very rich.

As early as more than 100 years ago, after the construction of the Grand Canal, a large number of senior European intellectuals were attracted by the charming coffee flavor of coffee beans in Pokuit and began to buy estates to grow coffee. At the beginning of the Panamanian production area is mainly growing Kaddura and Kaduai, Rosa coffee was accidentally discovered by the owner of the jade manor and took part in the competition, and became famous overnight before it was widely grown in Panama.

The composition of flowering butterfly coffee beans

Butterfly

The flower butterfly is composed of 70% rose summer coffee varieties, which is composed of Rosa, Kaddura, Kaduai and three varieties. It is planted in the Baru volcano region of Pokut and grows in the volcanic area at an altitude of 1600 meters. The treatment plant uses fine washing treatment. Panama's special local microclimate leads to abundant rainfall and a large temperature difference between day and night, coupled with the unique volcanic soil of the volcanic area. As well as meticulous harvesting and fine treatment, this coffee performs well in terms of richness, acidity and floral aroma.

Coffee bean variety

Geisha 、 Caturra 、 Catuai

Kaddura (Caturra) Kaddura is a natural variety of bourbon. It was found on a plantation in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais between 1915 and 1918. There is a mutation in a group of genes in bourbon planted in the plantation, causing plants to grow smaller (similar to dwarfism). This variety is suitable for planting in the high altitude area from 700m to 1700 m. It has strong adaptability to altitude. The higher the altitude, the better the flavor, but the productivity is relatively reduced.

Catuai knows from his name that he has a lot to do with Kaddura. It was artificially bred by the Institute of Agriculture of the State of Sao Paulo (IAC) in Campinas, Brazil, using a hybrid of New World (Mundo Novo) and Huangkadura (Yellow Caturra), originally known as "Hmer 2077". Kaduai inherits the attributes of high yield, strong disease resistance and good cup-tested varieties in the New World, and inherits the attributes of Kaddura's small size, high-quality sour and exposed coffee.

Geisha Rose Summer was discovered in the primeval forest of Ethiopia in 1931. After a series of research and cultivation in different countries, Pachi Serracin, the old landowner of Panama's Don Patch Manor in 1960, brought Rose Summer to Panama from Costa Rica until 2004, when the jadeite manor owner found that there was a faint scent of flowers in the harvested coffee beans, which was very charming, and became famous overnight after taking part in the BOP contest alone. From then on, Rosa coffee beans shone at the front end of the boutique coffee industry. Rose summer is special in that it has very obvious and clear floral and citrus flavor, very high cleanliness, soft and elegant acidity, long-lasting cotton sweetness, and the taste of high-grade black tea. Floral aromas and intense sweetness of tropical fruits, with unique floral and fruity aromas.

Coffee bean treatment

Washed

After fermentation, the raw coffee beans with parchment are washed in a mobile tank to remove their pulp and pectin; after cleaning, the coffee beans are dried or dried with the help of a dryer to reduce the moisture content to about 12%. Finally, remove the parchment of raw coffee beans. The water washing treatment can make the rose butterflies have brighter acidity and highlight the floral fragrance characteristics of rose coffee beans.
