What's the difference between Sakuran and geisha? The difference between Humbera Coffee and geisha Coffee Bean and the Origin of the Story

Geisha/Gesha, due to its pronunciation close to the Japanese word for "geisha-Geisha", is called geisha coffee in some areas. Although the coffee bean flavor of the geisha coffee variety is exquisite, this elegant flavor comes from the specific growing environment. geisha varieties are very "picky" about the growing environment, and they are required to be planted in areas with high altitude, cloud shade or a large number of shade trees and fertile soil in order to have rich and charming flower fragrance, delicate and elegant fruit acid and tea-like sweet taste.

The main producing areas of geisha are Panama, Costa Rica, Ethiopia and Colombia.

Panamanian geisha is to introduce this variety to the world and make people aware of it.

The Panamanian geisha variety came from Ethiopia ~ was discovered in the geisha forest of Ethiopia in 1931 and then sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya, introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936, Costa Rica in 1953 and Panama in 1970. When it was introduced to Panama, people were unwilling to cultivate it because of its low yield, so it was planted in a windbreak forest to protect other coffee trees.

The most representative geisha coffee in Ethiopia comes from the geisha village manor, which is a rare manor dominated by planting geisha varieties. Because the geisha variety planted in geisha Village belongs to the wild geisha variety, it is close to the plant and flavor of the familiar Panamanian geisha variety, but on the whole it is still not much like the Panamanian geisha coffee flavor.

It is only in recent years that Colombia began to introduce geisha coffee beans from Panama. Colombian coffee growers are mostly located in mountain areas, with rich microclimates, mild temperatures and flavored water resources that provide a good growing environment for coffee. The front street tests Columbia's rose coffee beans through a cup, with floral aromas, soft acidity of oranges / mandarins, honey sweetness, and a tea-like finish.

Let's go on to talk about Humbera coffee beans.

The 2017 TOH champion bean was originally called Humbela Coffee beans. In the same year, the champion batch of raw beans were introduced by raw bean traders in Beijing before they were named "Sakuran", implying the head of a hundred flowers and enchanting appearance. Chinese coffee fans really knew Humbera Coffee beans when Li Jianfei, runner-up in China in the 2017 World Coffee Brewing Competition, used this batch of Humbera coffee beans to beat many contestants in the geisha coffee. In the era when geisha Coffee Bean bags "dominated" large and small events, a sun-dried coffee bean from Ethiopia competed with so many geisha Coffee beans, everyone was naturally impressed by this inconspicuous coffee bean. The origin of the title "Sakuran" comes from this, and it has not been many years since, and people who have been drinking coffee in the early years will have some impression of it. Humbera coffee beans are native to Ethiopia, and this variety does not refer to a particular variety. As the birthplace of coffee varieties, Ethiopia has too many coffee varieties. It is like the natural gene bank of Arabica. On the one hand, there are many varieties, and it is difficult to identify and classify them. On the one hand, the Ethiopian government is unwilling to disclose information about these varieties for the sake of protection, so it is collectively called the Ethiopian original species. Because there are so many varieties, so mixed planting, mixed harvest, so Ethiopian native varieties of beans will be of different sizes.
