Which is better, Panama geisha or Ethiopia geisha, Peru and Costa Rica geisha? What grade does the flavor of geisha coffee belong to?

As we all know, Qianjie sells beans, so the products displayed in both online flagship stores and offline stores are all coffee beans. geisha, a well-known and popular variety, can be said to have the largest proportion in Qianjie Doudan, with nearly 30% of beans being geisha. So friends often ask, with so many roses and summers, what is the difference between their tastes?

As Qianjie has always shared, the taste of coffee is affected by many factors, in addition to variety, there are also terroir, processing, and roasting. Even if they are all geishas, their tastes will differ due to these other factors, which is a very interesting thing about coffee. If you want to taste the traditional geisha flavor, the Front Street Association recommends that you choose the washed geisha produced in the Poquet region of Panama. Because as we all know, in the 2004 Best Panama (BOP) competition, geisha surprised all the judges on the field with its unique flavor characteristics. The elegant white flower fragrance, soft citrus fruit acid, the tail rhyme of oolong tea, and the texture of honey make geisha famous and form the so-called "geisha flavor."

If you want to taste such a classic "geisha flavor", the variety must first be the geisha variety "T2722" that won the award back then, because the variety determines 70% of the basic flavor of the coffee, and then it must be grown in Panama. On the land, because the terroir determines the remaining 30% of the basic flavor of the coffee. The reason why Qianjie Association recommends water washing treatment of geisha is that water washing treatment will not allow the coffee beans to ferment too much and can well retain the flavor characteristics of the coffee beans themselves. For example, the Front Street Panamanian Poquet Washed geisha in the Front Street flagship store is a highly cost-effective classic geisha in Panama that was selected by Front Street under such requirements. The coffee brewed with it has all the characteristics described above on Qianjie and is very good.

Of course, if conditions permit, you can also choose Qianjie Jade Estate·Washed Green Label/Red Label geisha in Qianjie Bean List. Compared with the production area, these two geishas will have better cleanliness. Not only that, the taste of geishas passed down by word and our understanding of geishas are all due to the geishas of this manor. After all, it was the Jade Manor that discovered the potential of geishas and took geishas to participate in the 2004 BOP, which made the world realize the geishas variety. But there is only one shortcoming. Compared with other geishas, the geishas of Jade Manor are slightly more expensive in price.

Then, when you are familiar with the classic geisha flavor, Qianjie believes that you can start to try geisha from other production areas and treatments, because this can better help you identify the impact of different production areas and treatments. For example, among Qianjie Doudan, there is a geisha, which is also produced in Panama but has a completely different treatment method. It is 90+Eleta produced by 90+ Manor, and the treatment method is 90+ special treatment method (anaerobic).

This is a very interesting geisha. Because it is deeply fermented during processing, the flavor of the coffee brewed with it will be completely different from the geisha flavor in everyone's impression. It has obvious grapes, dried longan, flowers, watermelon, and red wine flavors. Or strawberry candy, a geisha mix grown in Qianjie Doudan from Costa Rica. It is processed with raisin honey. The brewed coffee has strawberry, white floral fragrance, citrus, and raisins. When it comes to geishas in other producing areas, Qianjie has to mention Qianjie Peru Cajamarca geishas in the bean list. It is also a geisha variety and is washed. The difference is that it is planted in Peru in South America and is far away from Panama in Central America. We can obviously taste the difference brought by the terroir.

The flavor produced by Qianjie Peruvian Cajamarca·washed geisha is somewhat close to that of Panama, with white flowers and citrus fruit acids. However, the difference is that Peruvian geisha also has grapefruit, black tea, and a unique charm of Peru, which is very obvious in contrast, each with its own characteristics. Perhaps many friends will mention Ethiopia's geisha at this time. For example, in Qianjie Doudan, Ethiopia's geisha has the red label geisha and gold label geisha of Gesha Village. However, these two geishas are different from other geishas because they are not the Panamanian geisha variety T2722 as we call it, but two varieties similar to T2722 found in the origin of Panamanian geisha.

This is a topic that Qianjie often shares. Since geisha became famous in 2004, many people have returned to the forest where geisha was discovered to look for geisha, and Adam Overton, the owner of geisha Village, is one of them.

Gori geisha and geisha 1931 are two varieties similar to geisha that Adam Overton, owner of geisha Village Estate, found in Gori Forest, more than 100 kilometers away from geisha Village Estate, and in the forest where geisha was discovered., and then named them the same way geisha was named back then. The variety of Gesha Village Red Label geisha in Qianjie Doudan is Gori geisha, but it is actually different from Panama geisha in terms of appearance and flavor. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a native coffee in Ethiopia, or a distant relative of Panama geisha. Therefore, the flavor of coffee brewed by it is mainly based on the flavor of Ethiopia's producing areas, and the flavor is expressed as citrus, apricot, mango, and pineapple.

The variety of Gesha Village Golden Label geisha in Qianjie Bean List is "geisha 1931". Compared with Gori geisha, the variety geisha 1931 will be closer to Panama geisha in terms of appearance and flavor. Therefore, the owner of Gesha Village Estate named it after the year when geisha was discovered, so it was called geisha 1931. Then, as Qianjie said, the flavor brewed will be closer to Panama's geisha, with white flowers and citrus fruit notes, and then with mango, pineapple, and carambola and other Ethiopian flavor. Very good.

There are many other categories. If you are interested, you can visit the flagship store on Qianjie to learn about it. All in all, the difference between geisha and geisha lies in the variety, production area, processing, and baking. You can feel the impact of different factors by comparing and drinking.
