As both top rose summers, how far is the difference between the red label of Panama Jade Manor and the gold label of rose summers Village Manor?

Many guests talk about rose summer in the front street, but they can't get around the two "marks" on the blackboard, one is the red sign rose summer of the emerald manor, the other is the gold mark rose summer of the rose summer village manor. Because the cost of raw beans is higher, Qianjie specially distinguishes them with the corresponding hand prices, which are "75 / cup" and "60 / cup" respectively, which has attracted the attention of many friends, especially those who have heard a lot about Rosa Xia for a long time. But friends who haven't had a chance to taste it yet.

As the first time to experience the taste of rosy summer, who should drink better, or which "standard" is more cost-effective?

Let's start with the colors of these "marks".

It is not difficult to find that these marked roses in the mouth of baristas are named in order to highlight its high grade, whether it is the red or gold marks, or the green and blue marks arranged in turn, even if we can't tell who comes first by looking at the prefixes, we must know that this x-label roses from xx Manor should be higher in grade than ordinary roses, and, of course, it may be more expensive.

In fact, such words with "marks" will only appear in the Chinese context, in other words, when we use their English names back, you may not be able to recognize who is who and who is more advanced than who.

The red label Rose Summer of Jadeite Manor, whose real name is "Esmeralda Special" and translated into Chinese as "Jadeite Special selection", is the highest quality Rosa coffee bean sold by the estate. It requires not only a cup test score of more than 91 points, but also a detailed "birth information" for each batch. The "red" in the red mark is taken from the trademark background color of this product, as is the green and blue mark of the Jade Manor, which is designed to make it easier for domestic consumers to remember and identify them.

Similarly, Ruoxia Village Manor Jinbiao Rose Xia also has its own English name "Rarities", which translates to "rare treasures". In short, it means the highest grade Rose Xia (non-auction lots). The "gold" in the gold bid is also taken from the background color of the product trademark. According to the official website of Ruoxia Village, this grade of Rosa coffee accounts for only 10% of the total output of the manor, and like the red mark of Jade Manor, each batch contains plot information for buyers' reference.

Although this kind of naming method, which is popular in China, does make different grades of Rosa popular and easy to remember, it sometimes makes an own dragon because of "color collision". For example, in the Rose Summer production and sales system established by each of these two manors, there are levels with red and green as background boards, so there are two "red marks" and two "green marks" on the market. When you order, remember to keep an eye on it. or ask the barista which estate and what level of Rose Summer.

Although everyone is called Rose Xia, they are actually "distant relatives" in terms of variety.

It can be said that "Rose Summer comes from Ethiopia" is well known in the coffee industry. Back in 2004, the magnificent summer, which won the championship in the BOP field, was actually collected in the 1930s from the Gesha area near the Kafa forest in southwest Ethiopia, and was later cataloged by CATIE as an antifungal variety by CATIE in Costa Rica.

On the other hand, there is an extra year after the variety name of the gold mark in Rose Xia Village, which is called "Rose Summer 1931". The selection of Rosa Village was led by Willem Boot (one of the judges stunned by Rose Summer in 2004, the owner of mule Manor and Sofia Manor). Due to the lack of genetic comparison technology at that time, the manor owner Adam sifted out two Rosa varieties in the vast Gesha area by referring to the plant shape and flavor performance of Panamanian Rosa. One of them was named "Gesha 1931" because of its flavor similar to that of Jade Manor. It means that Rose Summer was discovered in 1931.

Seeing here, we can confirm that the popular Rose Summer of Panama (including Emerald Manor) comes from the coffee variety that was recorded as "T2722" in the notebook at that time. As for "Rose Summer 1931" in Rose Summer Village, it uses Panamanian Rose Summer as a reference template, and a similar variety was found in the vast Kafa forest, so it is impossible to prove whether it is homologous with Panama Rose Summer.

Different places of origin mean different tastes of local customs.

For ordinary consumers, boutique coffee mainly pays attention to the regional flavor, so, in addition to the distinction between varieties, where is also crucial.

The Emerald Manor is located in the Pokuit producing area of Chiriki Province in Panama, a place with high altitude, volcanic soil and unique microclimate, so that T2722 can give full play to its floral fragrance without losing the aroma of cream and nuts. Good coffee can not be separated from the excellent planting environment, the land of Panama can produce high-quality rosy summer year after year, Qianjie believes that the Pokuit producing area plays an important role.

Rosa Village is located in the southwest of Ethiopia near South Sudan, located in the jungle-covered Bench Maji (Bancimaji), located in the village of Rose, with a direct view of the beautiful scenery of the ancient forest. Here is a typical Ethiopian high-important terrain, even the lowest elevation of the plot is more than 1900 meters, the advantage of high altitude is to give coffee fruit really slow ripening conditions at low temperatures to accumulate more flavor substances.

Who tastes better if it is the same as the top rose summer?

At present, the "Golden Standard of Rosy Village" and "Red Standard of Jadeite Manor" on the bean list on Qianjie Street are sun exposure batches, of which the most expensive red mark comes from the Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires) plot of the Jade Manor Haramillo, and the gold mark comes from the Oma (Oma) plot of the Ruoxia Village, both of which are solarization batches.

Next, let's put aside the price for a while, compare the two top rose summers that represent the two estates, and then taste them to see which one is better. The cooking parameters are: 15g powder, 10 scale of ek43, 80% overscreening rate of No. 20 sieve, ratio of powder to water at 1:15, water temperature of 92 °C, three-stage cooking, V60 filter cup.

Dry aroma: the coffee powder of Jinbiao Rose Summer has a very bright citrus fruit aroma, similar to the fresh smell of orange peel, while Jade Red Rose Summer is dominated by the round and sweet aroma of roses, preserved fruit and apricot peaches. with a little nut, toffee characteristics, mainly hit a "sweet" word.

Flavor: the freshly made Jinbiao Rose Summer shows the rising taste of blueberries, sweet cherries, melons and magnolia, with bright acidity, clean and elegant as the temperature drops slightly, and begins to show a unique finish like small green citrus tea. On the other hand, the emerald red standard rose summer smells like a pleasant floral smell, and the entrance immediately feels the rich aroma of tropical fruit, with a careful aftertaste of jasmine, cranberry, dried mango and fruit sugar, with a full but not astringent finish. It's very comfortable. Through direct comparison, Qianjie believes that in terms of flavor complexity, jadeite red standard rose summer is indeed slightly better.
