How is Guixia Village coffee graded? What batch is the Guixia Village check card?

In 2005, the Emerald Manor in Panama took part in the competition and auction of the best Panama (Best Of Panama) with the variety of Geisha, which stood out among the coffees with its delicate flowers, jasmine, peach and bergamot flavors and won the championship with unusually high scores. In the subsequent auction, the rose was sold at a price of 21 US dollars per pound, breaking the world record at the time, when the rose variety became famous.

Later, by tracing its origin, the Rosa variety originally came from Ethiopia and was discovered in the Gesha area near the Kaffa forest in southwestern Ethiopia in the 1930s, when it was found that the variety was resistant to leaf rust at coffee institutes in several countries and eventually became famous in Panama.

After the rose variety became well-known, it attracted many manors and the country to introduce rose varieties, including a director Adam Overton and his photographer wife Rachel Samuel. In 2007, the couple, commissioned by Ethiopia to make a documentary about coffee, came to the Bench Maji region and discovered the Gori Rosa Forest (Gori Gesha Forest), so they came up with the idea of a coffee farm.

Later, in 2009, the couple met Willem, the owner of the Panamanian mule farm, and returned to Ethiopia in a team to find Rosa's birthplace. They came to the place known as Gesha Village in Bench Maji and found the area most likely to be the original Rose Summer. So it built its estate here in 2011 and named it "Gesha Village Coffee Estate" Rose Summer Village Manor.

Gesha Village Coffee Estate will be special because it is completely different from most Ethiopian farms. It is not a small farm, but a large farm with 500ha and has its own processing plant and coffee variety laboratory.

At present, three coffee varieties (Gesha1931, Gori Gesha and Illubabor Forest 1974) are planted in Rosa Village Manor, and they are divided into 8 plots, each with only one coffee variety.

Rose summer 1931 (Gesha1931), the rose summer variety was first discovered in Ethiopia in 1931, traveled to many countries, and finally became famous in Panama, while rose summer 1931 (Gesha1931) is a native rose summer variety found in the rose forest by the owner of the rose village, so it is named Rosa 1931 because it is very close to the Panamanian rose variety in genetic comparison. This variety is planted in the oma, surma and narsha plots of Guoxia Village Manor.

Gori Gesha was named after the establishment of the village in 2011 after the discovery of a native bean species in the Gori forest 12 miles away from the manor. This variety is planted in three plots: bangi, shewa-jibabu and shaya.

Yilu Gbagbo (Illubabor Forest 1974), an antibody variety developed by the Ethiopian Coffee Research Center, was discovered during an expedition in the Illubabor Forest in 1974 and is currently grown only on the estate of Rosa Village.

The grading of Rosa Village Manor is different from that of Ethiopia. The coffee grading of Roxia Village Manor draws lessons from that of some well-known estates in Panama. It is divided into five grades: bidding batch, gold bid batch, red mark batch, green mark batch and Chaka batch.

The competitive bidding lot (Champion's Reserve/Farm Reserve) only accounts for 3.7% of the annual output of Roxia Village Manor, which is the top lot of the manor after strict selection, while the bidding lot is divided into champion selection (Champion's Reserve) and Manor selection (Farm Reserve). At present, it can only be won in the global bidding of Ruoxia Village Coffee Manor.

The Rarities, which accounts for 10% of the estate's annual coffee production, is the highest quality except the bidding batch, which is often selected by coffee contestants to participate in coffee competitions.

The red label batch (Growers Reserve) accounts for 15% of the manor's annual coffee production and requires a score of 88 or more on SCA's 100th cup test score to be selected as this batch.

Green label batch (Single-Terroir) is from a single plot, and is a single variety of batches, the flavor intensity is weaker than the red label batch, and there is no cup score requirement.

Chaka is a combination of rosy summer produced by the estate of Rosa Village. All the plots and varieties of the estate are mixed together, with no emphasis on subdivided batches. "Chaka" means "forest" in the ancient Ethiopian language, and the estate itself is built on the edge of the primeval forest on the Ethiopian plateau, which means that the batch is taken from the forest of the entire estate.
