Panama Rosa Coffee (Geisha) Coffee beans are more expensive than Blue Mountain Coffee

In the early years, most of the recognition of top coffee followed Japan, one king of coffee followed Jamaica Blue Mountain and Hawaii Kona, but with the continuous improvement of coffee producing countries and information sharing, we were exposed to more fine coffee, and this coffee bean Panama rose summer became the new king of coffee in recent years. Geisha:

The species Geisha was discovered in 1931 in Ethiopia's Guisha Forest and sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya; introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936, Costa Rica in 1953, Panama in the 1970s by Francesco de Tomba Seven Farm. Mr. Serrazin picked up seeds from CATIE in Costa Rica and started growing rosewood coffee.

Geisha, carrying the power of a hurricane to sweep the coffee world, this coffee revolution is fierce, so that the coffee kingdom has long occupied the throne of one king and one queen--Jamaica Blue Mountain, Hawaii Kona also have to retreat, this wild variety originally from Ethiopia, after experiencing countless battles, is now valued in all major coffee producing areas, and its best spokesman is from Panama "La Esmeralda" estate.

Geisha, pronounced geisha in Japanese, is also known as geisha coffee; because the tree is taller than ordinary coffee trees, it was originally planted in a small area of the estate and used as a windbreak.
