What is the difference between the gold label geisha and the red label geisha in Gesha Village? Are geisha 1931 and Gori geisha?

In addition to the red label and green label geisha of Jade Manor, there is also another group of well-known "belted" geisha on the blackboard of Qianjie Doudan. They are the gold label geisha and red label geisha from Ethiopia's geisha.

Qianjie has previously shared the grading system of Jade Manor, as well as the horizontal comparison of the geisha of the two manors. However, because there is not much introduction to the gold label and red label of Gesha Village, there are always friends who stop in front of Qianjie. In front of the blackboard, thinking about the differences between them. So today, Qianjie will come to share with you the difference between the gold label and red label in Gesha Village, as the two most popular products in Gesha Village.

Before then, what we need to know is... In addition to the gold label and red label, Gesha Village Estate also has other levels of products such as bidding, green label, and check card. And this set of standards, as most friends think, has certain similarities with the grading system of Jade Manor.

As Qianjie previously introduced, these so-called labels are not actually the original names of these products. But because the original names were too awkward, in order to communicate more easily, our Chinese people have "colloquialized" their names-that is, named them by the color and variety of their product logos. For example, the name of Jinbiao geisha comes from the fact that the logo background color of this product is gold, and the coffee variety sold is geisha, so it has the name of Jinbiao geisha. Then, the same is true for other red labels and green labels, but it should be noted that behind the various labels in the Gesha Village Manor, not all varieties are necessarily geisha.

Secondly, the geographical location and land division of Gesha Village Manor. Ghisha Village Estate is located in an area called Ghisha Village in Bankimaji, Ethiopia. It covers an area of about 471 hectares, has a coffee planting area of about 320 hectares, and the planting density is maintained at 7000 trees/hectare. The owner Adam Overton divided it into eight areas, and the coffee grown in each area will have a different flavor of terroir.

So without saying much, let's let Qianjie share the difference between the gold label and the red label in Gesha Village Manor ~

The definition of the Golden Label of Gesha Village, the Golden Label geisha is the top coffee in Gesha Village except for competitive coffee. Its original name was "Rarities", which translates to "rare treasures." Its output only accounts for about 10% of the annual output of Gesha Village Park. It is relatively rare and has complete traceability. Due to its excellent flavor and complex and changeable taste, many players in competitions will use the Golden Label geisha as competition beans. It is worth mentioning that although the gold label geisha is called geisha, its variety is not the Panamanian geisha variety (T2722) passed down by word of mouth, but "geisha 1931". (The variety in the picture is Panama geisha T2722, and the variety on the right is geisha 1931)

Guxia 1931 was a variety carefully selected by the owner of Guxia Village when he went to the forest where he discovered Guxia. Its bean appearance and flavor performance are very similar to what we call Panamanian Guxia (T2722), so the owner of Guxia Village named it "Guxia 1931"(1931 was the year when Guxia was picked back from the forest by the explorers).

Definition of the Gesha Village Red Label The official name of the Gesha Village Red Label is "Growers Reserve", which translates to "Grower Reserve." The coffee beans from the red label batch of Gesha Village account for about 15% of the annual output of Gesha Village Park, which will be higher than the gold label. Similarly, it is also a batch with complete traceability.

However, Gesha Village Manor's requirement for red label is that the cup test score exceeds 88 points. No matter what variety, as long as the score meets the standard, it can be exported as a red label batch. Compared with the gold label that is closer to Panama's geisha in all aspects, the flavor performance of the red label of geisha village will be more inclined to the local flavor of Ethiopia. The red label batch purchased on Qianjie is Gori Rose, which is also a variety found locally by the manor owner. Although it is called geisha, both its appearance and flavor are basically not related to the geisha we know.

Coincidentally, the Gesha Village gold label and red label currently sold by Qianjie on Taobao Tmall are treated with sun exposure, which allows us to more intuitively compare the difference between the two. Therefore, Qianjie will next compare the gold label and red label in Gesha Village, and how they taste differently.
