Introduction to the grindness and taste of Panamanian coffee with elegant and unripe flavor

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 typical rosy summer features: the slender shape of beans, the changes during baking, and the elegant and uncooked flavor in the cup.

Panamanian coffee is famous for the rosy summer of the Emerald Manor, which is also famous in the Boquete region of its Chiriqui province. Boquete is a town of Chiriqui in the province of Ricki, located near the border between Panama and Costa Rica, close to the famous Baru Baru volcano, with rich and fertile soil, climate and soil that are suitable for producing quality coffee.

In the Pokuit producing area, there are also many excellent manors, except the famous Emerald Manor, Alida Manor, Aqaba Manor and so on, all of which produce high-quality boutique coffee. This is not only due to the superior ecological conditions of the Pokuit region of Panama and the fertile volcanic ash soil of the Baru volcanic land. Another important factor is that the microclimate in the Poquet Heights of Panama is a unique and important resource for boutique coffee in the Pokuit region. This is the Panamanian environment from east to west, which allows the cold air to converge over 6500 feet through the Central Mountains, thus creating a variety of microclimates in the Pokuit region, making its temperature and rainfall very suitable for plant growth. so the coffee trees grown here are in good condition.

In 1931, it was exported to Kenya in obscurity from Geisha Mountain Mountain in southwestern Ethiopia, wandered to Tanzania and Costa Rica, was transplanted to Panama in the 1960s, and then went through nearly half a century before it became a blockbuster, beating the victorious armies of Bourbon, Kaddura, Kaduai and Tibika to win the first prize of the Panamanian National Treasure Bean Cup Test Competition in 2005, 2006 and 2007. In 2007, the International famous Bean Cup Test sponsored by the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) won the championship again, and the bidding price was sold at US $130 per pound, setting a record for the highest price in the history of competition beans. It is reported that the later Panamanian national treasure bean competition will be divided into two groups: Rose Summer and non-Rose Summer, so as not to be robbed of the brilliance of other varieties by Rose Summer. Rosa is a member of the Tibika family, but it became famous more than 70 years after leaving Ethiopia, and fulfilled the saying that Ethiopia is a treasure trove of Arabica genes. Giving a variety to go abroad is enough to stir up trouble in the coffee market.

Geisha, which is grown in many parts of the world, is the new king of boutique coffee, among which Panama, Guatemala, Colombia and other Latin American countries have higher quality and higher prices.
