Guatemalan Coffee beans | introduction of Rosa Coffee beans in New Oriental region

Speaking of Rose Summer, many people will think of Panama. In 2005, the Emerald Manor used the Rose Summer variety to participate in the competition and bid for the best Panamanian BOP, and won the championship for its unique flavor and unusually high score, which broke the auction price of coffee beans at that time, which also made the Rose Summer variety famous.

Guatemala is in the tropics, with two dry and wet seasons in a year, with wet seasons from May to October and dry seasons from November to April of the following year. Guatemala has tropical rain forests, volcanic soil and a changeable microclimate, bringing elegant and lively acidity, clean odor-free and layered coffee flavor to Guatemalan coffee beans.

Rain Water is abundant in this area all the year round, with an altitude of 1500-2050 meters above sea level, so the area is always shrouded in mist, the sunshine time is relatively short, and it will be wetter than other producing areas. New Oriental used to be one of the poorest and most isolated regions in Guatemala, because in ancient times, the region was a volcanic area, and the soil here was composed of metamorphic rocks that evenly mixed many minerals.

Rosesia variety

Rose summer was first discovered in the Kafa forest in Ethiopia in 1931, but at that time people only cared about yield rather than quality, so rose varieties were not taken seriously. It was later sent to the Lyamungu Research Station in Tanzania and then taken to the Tropical Agricultural Research and Teaching Centre (CATIE) in Central America in 1953, where it was registered as T2722. In 1970, Costa Rican rose summer to tolerate leaf rust, distributed to Panama for cultivation, and finally because the jadeite manor discovered its delicate jasmine and peach flavor, made rose famous, and was introduced by other countries to grow.
