Panamanian Rosa Coffee Flavor and taste introduction to boutique coffee beans in manor area

The fragrance of flowers, tropical fruits, strong sweetness; these are the feelings that Rose Summer has always given us. Properly baked, they make you feel like sipping the fragrance of a bouquet of flowers. You may not know the story of Rosa, an ancient native species from Ethiopia that was brought as a coffee sample to a coffee experimental garden in Costa Rica and distributed to several small farms for small-scale trials.

Not many people followed Rose Summer until one day, Esmeralda Manor in Panama separated it from other varieties and won the national coffee competition.

She is so extraordinary that the fruity and floral elements are like Yega Xuefei from Africa and Ethiopia on the other side of the world. Of course, these are all old news now. Some small farms also get summer roses and are eager to grow their own roses.

However, the results are different, and this "star" variety seems to have different tastes in different geographical locations due to the influence of weather, soil and altitude. However, in the Aktenango region, we see the typical characteristics of Geisha: the slender shape of beans, the changes during baking, and the elegant and unripe flavor in the cup. In the early years, the recognition of top coffee mostly followed Japan, while Rosa (Rosa), which swept through the coffee world with hurricane power, was a menacing coffee revolution. Let a king who has occupied the throne of the coffee kingdom for a long time, Jamaica Blue Mountains, Hawaii Kona also have to back off, this wild species originally from Ethiopia, after numerous battles, has now spread throughout the major coffee producing areas, and its best spokesman is the "La Esmeralda" manor from Panama. Esmeralda Manor's Rosa Coffee is one of the most famous varieties of Rosa Coffee in Guatemala Rosa-Akatilango region (Guatemala Acatenango Gesha).

In 2007, Guatemala added the eighth coffee producing area, Acatenango Valley (R), which we translated into "Akatilang region".

In 2007, Anacaf é (Guatemalan Coffee Association) not only promoted it at the SCAA exhibition, but also arranged a special topic to explain to the international judges during the national competition. In the past, Guatemala claimed to have seven major producing areas, not only distinguishing features, but also giving buyers and consumers a good memory. Antigua, Micro Plateau, Lake Attitan, Koban Rain Forest and so on, each district can find excellent manors and good coffee with local characteristics.

Acatenango is located in Chimaltenango province, Guatemala. More than 5000 hectares of coffee farms in the region have fertile volcanoes, mainly located in two major volcanic mountains, and almost all have forests and shade trees. As can be seen from the above photos, almost all of the estates are shaded and planted, and the main varieties are bourbon and some Catuai and Caturra.

Akatilango two major volcanoes, Volcan de Fuego and Volcan Acatenango respectively, especially Acatenango is the third peak of Central American volcanoes, and across the Fuego volcano is the Yatitan Lake region. The annual rainfall in this area is 48 to 72 inches, and the average annual temperature is 14 ~ 31 degrees C. the temperature difference is large enough, so the density of beans is compact, which is helpful to the flavor. The coffee harvest season is mainly from mid-January to March. At present, the Kaqchiquels people still live in this area and maintain traditional farming methods; in total, there are about 4000 farmers in this area, and coffee cultivation dates back to 1880.
