Columbia Coca Hope Manor Iron pickup or Bourbon? Iron pickup coffee beans

Iron pickup "Typica" iron pickup, the name sounds majestic, but in fact it is not so strong. It has weak physique, poor disease resistance, easy to catch rust leaf disease and less fruit yield. It is one of the oldest native varieties in Ethiopia, and many Arabica are derived from iron pickups!

The parietal leaf of the iron pickup is bronzed, and the bean grain is large, pointed, oval or thin. Everyone is familiar with the well-known Mantenin, Blue Mountain, Elephant Bean, Kona, Yunnan Dou …... Wait. They are all derived from iron pickups.

Bourbon "Bourbon" bourbon is an ancient and excellent variety juxtaposed with iron pickup, and some botanists believe that bourbon is an early variety of iron pickup transplanted to Yemen.

Bourbon is almost all round beans, beans are a little smaller than tin card, ripening later, but the yield is 30% more than tin card. It is suitable for growing above 1200 meters above sea level, and its flavor is obviously more prominent than those below 1000 meters, but bourbon has a disadvantage that it will rest for a year as a result. Round bourbon is full of vitality, and its resistance to rust leaf disease is better than that of iron pickup, but its flavor is as good as it, or even better.

In 1810, some of the round beans in Bourbon Island mutated into pointed beans, which is known as the "pointed bourbon". It is characterized by a caffeine content of only half, low output, weak physique, and extremely rare, just like a weak aristocratic teenager.

In addition, the biggest thing that iron pickup and bourbon have in common is that they both need the protection of shade trees. if there is no shade tree to help it block the sun, it is not only not conducive to its growth, but also greatly reduces the flavor of coffee beans.

It is unknown when they will be introduced to Jaramillo Manor in Panama. After the PricePeterson family, who only knew the Emerald Farm (HaciendaLaEsmeralda) 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 Rosa coffee once fetched a sky-high price of nearly $290 per kilogram.

The Herrera family of Hope Farm in Colombia introduced Rose Summer Coffee from Jade Manor in Panama in 2007, but after years of trial efforts, it won the first prize in the American Fine Coffee Association's Annual Bean Competition (COTY-CoffeesoftheYear) in Houston in April 2011.
