Introduction to the Flavor of Panamanian Rosa Coffee characteristics of Panamanian Rosa Coffee

Nowadays, the popularity of the boutique coffee circle is increasing day by day, and there are countless coffee beans with various exquisite flavors. If you want to say which coffee variety is the most popular, it must be Rose Summer. Since Rose Summer became famous in Panama, beans from various producing areas have rushed to introduce this variety, hoping that they can also produce the "ceiling of the coffee industry." Colombia, Guatemala, Ethiopia, even Yunnan has produced Rose Summer Coffee in recent years. To drink the classic rose summer flavor, Qianjie believes that the Panamanian rose summer is the most representative.

What are the characteristics of the rosy summer in Panama?

Coffee as a crop, a variety of local factors will affect the flavor of coffee fruit more or less. Compared with other Arabica varieties, Rosa is very picky and requires high altitude, fertile soil, clouds or plant shade, and cannot be directly exposed to the sun. The owner of the emerald manor said that the garden needs a large number of shade trees to block the sun for the delicate rosy summer, and traditional pruning should be used at the initial stage of planting, otherwise the plant is easy to die. The higher the altitude is, the longer the ripening time of coffee fruit is, and the more complex and unique flavor performance is. Coupled with the high altitude environment, the fruit will mature later, and the less fruit will be produced.

Panamanian coffee is grown in the western highlands: Boquete, Volcan and Renacimiento, of which the Boquete Valley and the Volkan area around Mount Baru are the best known. Both areas are located in Chiriki Provence, completely in the center of the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil and ancient forests. Pokuit producing area is one of the towns in Chiriki province, located on the eastern side of Mount Baru at an altitude of about 1000-2000 meters, facing the warm and humid Caribbean monsoon and the cold Atlantic current on the back, with high and steep mountains. Among them, "Baru Volcano National Park" (Volcan Baru National Park) is an ecological conservation area, rich in biodiversity, with seven kinds of micro-climate, coupled with year-round mist and abundant rainfall, creating good local planting conditions.

Thanks to the unique local conditions here, the coffee absorbs all kinds of essence and transforms into elegant flowers and fruits to reconcile the changeable acidity. The Panamanian Emerald Manor Rose Summer Coffee and Arida Manor Rose Summer Coffee on the front street are from the Pokuit producing area. In order to let everyone taste the regional flavor of Pokuit, Qianjie specially launched a Panamanian Pocket Rose Summer Coffee with a typical Panamanian coffee flavor.

What is the flavor of the rosy summer of the Emerald Manor?

When it comes to rose summer, the reputation of Emerald Manor is well known in the boutique coffee circle. In 2004, Rose Summer won the best Panamanian coffee competition of the year, and broke the auction price record year after year, which has attracted the attention of the coffee industry ever since. The Emerald Manor is the first coffee estate to strictly classify the rose summer, and the annual production of the rose summer batch has attracted the attention of the industry. After Ruoxia won the championship, the two brothers and sisters of Peterson, the owner of the manor, managed the rosy summer coffee trees in the garden more systematically based on altitude, region and cup test performance.

In general, the planting area of Rosa rugosa is divided into three plots: Cannes Vidis Caas Verdes, Haramillo Jaramillo and veil El Velo. In order to ensure the traceability of each coffee batch, Peterson refines each large plot into different small plots, through which buyers of Rose Summer Coffee can access specific planting plot information.

Rose summer seed was first found in the Haramiyo plot, where the Daniels decided to increase the planting elevation of the rose summer. As the discovery and cultivation land of the rose summer, Haramillo has become the most famous plot of the Jade Manor. The average elevation of Haramiyo is more than 1650 meters, and the damp and cold air in the mountains makes the rosy summer coffee here full of natural essence and fragrance. At present, Haramiyo is divided into five small plots: Mario (Mario), Noria (Ferris wheel), Reina (queen), Bosque (forest) and Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires). Among them, Mario and Bosque plots performed well in each competition.

The raw coffee processing plant at Emerald Manor is located in Ca ñ as Verdes, at the foot of Mount Baru, a 20-minute drive from the town of Pokuit. Whenever the coffee cherry is ripe, the manor owner will arrange that the workers must strictly follow the standard, pick the fresh fruit only at the best ripe time, pick it by hand, and then deliver it to the factory in the shortest possible time for further screening.

The difference between Red Standard Rose Summer and Green Standard Rose Summer

On the bean list on the front street, there are about 10 choices for Rosa Coffee alone. What does it mean when a partner sees the words "red" and "green" written on it?

The so-called red mark is the jadeite selected grade ESMERALDA SPECIAL (including competitive bidding). The highest red mark is picked from coffee fruit at high altitude Geisha (1600-1800 meters), with a cup test score of more than 90 points, mainly from two farms, Jaramillo and Ca ñ as Verdes. Although it is highly faced with the challenges of planting and harvest, the flower and fruit flavor is the most prominent in the Pokuit region. The Jade Manor will hold independent bidding competitions. In the divided plots, the red bid lots for the competition are called competitive bids. The bidding lot will have a unique number, and each number corresponds to the entire lot of a lot. What we hear most often is the Mario (Mario) plot of Jaramillo Farm. The emerald red standard rose summer coffee beans in front of the street are from the Mario plot and are treated by the sun.

The green mark refers to the private collection of PRIVATE COLLECTION, selected from planting 1600-1800 meters above sea level, are picked from Jaramillo and Ca ñ as Verdess two plots, but the jadeite manor will not specifically identify the information of the land, so it will not participate in the bidding, although the grade is not as high as the red standard, it mainly reflects the iconic classic flavor of high-altitude rose summer. The green roses in front of the street are washed with water, and the cup test shows a more fresh and natural flavor of lemon, berries, grapefruit and Tieguanyin tea.

In addition to the red and green marks, we used to see the third brand, the blue label Rose Summer, which has now become the "volcanic Rose Summer". In fact, its predecessor is Rose Xia 1500, that is, the blue standard. Volcanic rock rose summer mixed with three large plots of jade manor rose summer coffee beans, planted at 1400 to 1500 meters above sea level. Qianjie compared the sunburned and washed volcanic rock rose summer by cup test, and found that they all had obvious citric acid aroma, clean oolong tea and sucrose sweetness in the washed volcanic rock, and a little more tropical fruit and fermented wine in the sun batch. to make it sweeter.

How do you make good roses and summer coffee?

The flavor of Rosa Coffee is famous for its rich floral aromas and complex fruit flavors. Qianjie roasters want to retain more high quality acidity, so they choose medium-to-light roasting (slight adjustments will be made in different batches). This baking degree does not change the high hardness of beans at high altitude, so it is necessary to improve the extraction rate in cooking to show a fuller flavor level. Higher water temperature and finer grinding will be used here to stimulate more aromatic substances, and Qianjie hopes that the flavor of Rose Summer Coffee will be clearer, so it will increase the proportion of powder to water at 1:16.

In order to improve the extraction rate of Rosa coffee and avoid over-extraction while highlighting the sweet and sour flavor, Qianjie baristas will use V60 filter cups. The body of the V60 filter cup has a diversion rib connecting the top and bottom and a large round hole in the center to accelerate the falling speed of the water flow, while the spirally shaped exhaust trough is designed to lengthen the flow path and increase the contact time of coffee powder and hot water. Each flow of water converges along the groove to the center of the filter cup, the pressure on the coffee powder is concentrated, and the extracted coffee is more layered.

The following front street demonstration store produces emerald red standard sun roses summer cooking steps, you can refer to and compare their own cooking ideas.

The parameters for hand brewing of red standard Rosa coffee are: filter cup: V60, water temperature: 92 degrees Celsius, powder content: 15g, powder / water ratio: 1:16, grindness: fine sugar size (20 sieve bowl sieve powder to 80%)

Fold the filter paper and stick it with the filter cup, wet the filter paper with a small amount of water and make them fit better, and pour out the water from the pot. Then pour in the coffee powder and gently pat to let the powder layer distribute evenly. The first stage is gently injected with 30 grams of water for steaming for 30 seconds, and the second stage is injected with about 125 grams of water to circle evenly and smoothly outward. Then wait for the coffee liquid to drop, drop to half, inject the last section of water to 240 grams, wait for the coffee to fall behind, the general total extraction time is about 2 minutes.

The hand-made jadeite red standard rose summer coffee tastes with fresh acidity of jasmine, citrus and tropical fruits, the flavor level varies with the temperature, the overall taste is smooth, and the aftertaste is pleasant.
