Introduction of Rose Summer Coffee in Emerald Manor in Panamanian Coffee producing area

Floral, tropical fruit, intense sweetness; these are the feelings that rose summer has always brought us. Properly baked, they make you feel like sipping the fragrance of a bouquet of flowers. In case you haven't heard the story, Rose Summer, an ancient native from Ethiopia, was brought as a coffee sample into Costa Rica's coffee experimental plantations and distributed to several small farms for small-scale trials.

Not much attention was paid to the rose until the Esmeralda estate in Panama separated it from the rest and won the national coffee championship.

She's so extraordinary, fruity and floral, it's like a Yega Shefi from Ethiopia, Africa, halfway around the world. Of course, that's old news now. A few small farms are getting summer roses, and eager ones want to grow their own.

However, the results vary, depending on weather, soil and altitude, and the taste of this "star" variety does not seem to be the same in different geographical locations. But in the Actanango region, we see typical rosewood characteristics: slender bean shapes, changes in baking, and elegant ripeness in the cup.

Rosedale's dry nose is very bright, with rose and jasmine floral characteristics, but also can bring out grapefruit and citrus aromas, light toasted nutty aromas; wet nose also has hazelnut flavor, and emerging more floral characteristics. In terms of taste and flavor, the early stage may be slightly mild and subtle compared with the previous aroma, a little cooling, flower and fruit flavor gradually rises with the temperature drop, and the cold aroma is excellent (sweet preserved fruit, rose hip, orange glaze sauce, strawberry jam, pine flavor, cherry, vanilla, rose gradually fade, and lemon flavor can be derived). This is a coffee that can be praised with a lot of adjectives, back to the sweetness of the sweetness, which is testing the brightness of the coffee, especially in the case of light roasting.
