An article once published on Qianjie "Teach you to easily read the information hidden in the names of coffee beans!" In, a reader said under the comment,"There are too many summers, can we talk in detail? "。

Although it is only a single variety, Rose Summer often appears in different countries, producing areas, manors, cooperatives, etc., so it will combine coffee beans with different styles. Correspondingly, the price will also be very large. The deviation ranges from tens to hundreds, and this just makes many people confused: How many kinds of Rose Summer there are, and the more expensive the price, the better?

Recently, the categories of Qianjie Coffee Store (Taobao/Tmall flagship store) are relatively rich. There are a total of 8 types of rose summer alone. In addition to Qianjie Rose Summer Village, which has been retained for many years, Qianjie Jade Red Label Rose Summer, Qianjie Jade Green Label Rose Summer, Qianjie Poquet Rose Summer, and Qianjie 90+ Eleta, as well as the new Qianjie Grana Rose Summer, Qianjie Walking Manor Rose Summer and Qianjie Peru Rose Summer that have been held this year.

Today, we will not talk about history, but only focus on these 8 items, starting from the origin/manor/level and taste, to sort out the characteristics of these common rose summers for everyone.

Panama

1. Front Street Jade Red Label Rose Summer → Panama → Poquet Production Area → Jade Manor → Red Label Level

2. Front Street Jade Green Label Rose Summer → Panama → Poquet Production Area → Jade Manor → Green Label Level

3. Front Street 90+ Eleta→ Panama → Poquet production area →90+ Manor

4. Front Street Poquet Rose Summer → Panama → Poquet Production Area

Ethiopia

1. Qianjie Guixia Village Red Label Guixia → Ethiopia → Guixia Village Manor → Red Label Level

2. Front Street Grana Rose Summer → Ethiopia → Grana Manor

Colombia

Stroll through the front street, Rose Summer → Colombia → Huilan production area → Stroll through the manor

Peru

Front Street, Peru, Rose Summer → Peru → Kahamaca region

It is not difficult to see from the quantity that Panama's rose summer has an absolute advantage, but they are obviously all rose summer varieties and even come from the same manor. Why does Qianjie keep so many varieties? The answer is very simple. Since Rose Summer became popular in the world's boutique coffee circles, what people call "Rose Summer flavor" refers to Panama Rose Summer. Among them, Jade Manor, as the leader of this variety's fame, should naturally become the benchmark of "Rose Summer Flavor". Of course, with the combination of fame and marketing, the price of emerald rose summer has also made many people prohibitive.

The town of Poquet is valued by the industry because many big-name manor houses (including the Emerald Manor) are located here. After all, good coffee is inseparable from the blessing of the climate. Besides, it is also a Panamanian rose seed, and the flavor will definitely be outstanding. Since the former street Poquet rose hill emphasizes the origin rather than the manor, the price will be relatively much cheaper.

In addition to Panama, Ethiopia's rose summer is becoming more and more popular. Not only is it more recognized in terms of taste, but it also has price advantages. The difference is that most Ethiopian rose summers do not have the characteristics of long body, everting, and pointed ends like Panama rose summers, but are relatively small and have full grains in the middle, so they are sometimes called native rose summers in the industry.

Most of Colombia coffee and Peruvian coffee belong to independent estates and are produced in small batches. The flavor of rose summer depends on the characteristics of the origin and planting management. The price is usually cheaper than Panama rose summer and slightly more expensive than non-grade rose summer in Ethiopia.

Because the eight roses in Qianjie are all light to medium baked, and the main themes are floral fragrance and fruit acid, the brewing parameters will be as consistent as possible:

Coffee powder: 15g

Powder to water ratio: 1:15

Water temperature: 91~92℃

Abrasion degree: EK43s-10 grid/C40-24 grid (sieve rate of No. 20 screen is 80%)

Filter cup: V60

Brewing technique: 3-stage style

In the first section, 30 grams of water are injected for steaming for 30 seconds, and then 95 grams are injected along the "mosquito-repellent coil" loop until the electronic scale displays about 125 grams. The injection is completed in about 55 seconds. When the water level drops to 1/3 of the powder layer, the remaining 100 grams are injected, and the electronic scale displays about 225 grams, and the injection is completed in about 1 minute and 35 seconds. Control each pot of coffee to be filtered in 1 minute 50 seconds to 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Remove the filter cup and complete the extraction.

After the coffee is brewed, we taste them in turn and describe their flavors.

First of all, in terms of acidity, the two rose summers in Ethiopia are higher than those in several other countries, mainly manifested in bright tonality, light body, and tea-like tail rhyme. Among them, the red label of Qianjie Rose Summer Village is dominated by berry acid, accompanied by the fermented aroma of mature Brin; Qianjie Grana Rose Summer has the fragrance of yellow peach, guava, and black tea, which is relatively harmonious between sweet and sour.

Then there is the aroma. All four Panamanian rose summers have excellent performance. However, since Qianjie 90+ rose summers are heavily fermented, they form a completely different style from the other three in terms of aroma, and the entrance is filled with The "overbearing" taste of spices, longan, preserved fruit, and chocolate.

Because they are all washed rose summers, the Front Street Jade Red Label, Front Street Jade Green Label and Front Street Poquet all have clear fresh aroma of jasmine and citrus. The unique caramel feeling of the Panama production area is particularly obvious at high temperatures (after drinking, the bottom of the cup will also leave a caramel flavor). As the temperature drops, the tea feel and acidity will gradually become prominent.

Compared with Poquet, the Front Street Jade Red Label and the Front Street Jade Green Label have the manor's signature rose summer flavor, with the rising acidity of bergamot, the distinctive aroma of jasmine, the sweetness of peaches, and the sweetness of oolong tea. When it comes to the comparison between green labels and red labels, Qian Street believes that the flavors of the two are comparable, and no one is better than the other.

Finally, there is the rose summer in Peru and Colombia. If we compare it with Panama, the Peruvian rose summer in Qianjie will have more caramel flavor, with a thicker acidity like prunes, and the overall mellow degree will be higher; Walking through Qianjie Manor, the rose summer is lighter, and the entrance is filled with the smell of flowers and perfumed lemon. The taste is as sweet as honey, and the bitterness is almost impossible. The tea flavor is lasting.

conclusion

If you just want to have a shallow taste of what people call the "classic rosesummer flavor" and avoid spending a lot of money, then Qianjie recommends that you not rush to chase a big-name manor. You can first try Qianjie Poquet rosesummer, which is represented by the production area. It allows you to clearly drink the rosesummer flavor and explore your coffee preferences.

When you want to drink something new (or you are tired of Panamanian rose summers), you might as well look at other countries in Central and South America. If you like a thicker taste, you can pick rose summers with caramel descriptions such as Qianjie Cajamarca, Peru. If you like a sweet, sour and clear flavor, you can buy rose summers such as Qianjie Colombia Stroll Manor, which are all fragrant descriptions.

If you like the bright and sour rose summer, start with Ethiopia. Assuming you pursue the ultimate cost performance ratio and want to use rose summer as a daily ration, choose Front Street Grana rose summer. In addition to its fresh taste,"large quantities and filling" is its biggest advantage, and Front Street Grana rose summer also has a soe version, specifically aimed at espresso and mocha pot users.
