Cup Test of Columbia Rosa Coffee the annoying flavor characteristics and taste of the world's top coffee beans

Geisha is an Arabica coffee variety from Geisha Mountain in southwestern Ethiopia, which is transliterated as "Rose Summer". Because the Japanese pronunciation of "geisha" is similar to Geisha, Geisha is called "Geisha" coffee in Japan. I think it is easier to communicate with foreign countries by transliteration of "Rose Summer" in Chinese.

According to the Panamanian Emerald Manor website, "Rose Summer" coffee seeds were taken from Geisha Mountain (Mount Rosa) in southwestern Ethiopia in 1931, transplanted to Kenya in 1931, replanted in Tanzania in 1936 and introduced to Costa Rica in 1953. It is unknown when they will be introduced to Jaramillo Manor in Panama. After the Price Peterson family, who only knew the Emerald Farm (Hacienda La Esmeralda) of Panama, bought the Galamie Manor in 1996, they found that the coffee flavor on the edge of the estate was unique, so they took part in the 2004 Panama "COE" competition, never wanted to become famous, and won awards almost every year since. Later, it was identified that the variety originated from Ethiopia's "Rose Summer Mountain", so it was called "Rose Summer" coffee. Panamanian Gesha coffee sold for a sky-high price of nearly $290 per kilogram.

The Herrera family of Hope Farm in Colombia introduced Rosa coffee from the Emerald Manor of Panama in 2007. Although it failed at first, after years of hard work, it won the first prize in the American Fine Coffee Association's Annual Bean Competition (COTY-Coffees of the Year) in Houston in April 2011.

David Piza C, who majored in industrial engineering from the University of Los Angeles at Bogota, is a professional coffee cup tester and judge of the barista competition in Colombia. When he came to China in August this year, he brought a variety of high-quality manor boutique coffee, including Geisha of Colombia. The author bakes the coffee according to the raw bean information provided by Pei Daxing and the expected baking curve in his mind. To the surprise of everyone present, compared with the samples brought by Pei Daxing, the Gesha baked by the author can hardly be seen with the naked eye. Although Pei Daxing did not take out the samples they had been thinking about baking in Colombia before the author baked, coincidences often happen.

Colombian "Gaisha" coffee:

On the third day after baking, the author, together with Pei Daxing and two friends, tested the Colombian rosy summer coffee in Wangjing, Beijing. There are three types of coffee: one is a sample of Rosa Coffee baked in Colombia, and the other two are two batches of Colombian Rosa Coffee baked by the author in Beijing, each with three cups and the standard of SCAA is 5 cups.

Summing up the test records of the four cups, it is concluded that the first place is the same batch of rose summer baked by the author in Beijing and baked in Colombia.
