Strong sweetness of Panamanian Cupid Coffee Flavor description of Grinding Variety characteristics of producing 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 area, we see typical rosy summer features: the slender shape of beans, the changes during baking, and the elegant and uncooked flavor in the cup.

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, with high quality and high prices in Latin American countries such as Panama, Guatemala and Colombia.

Panamanian rose summer grows at an altitude of 1500-1650 meters, and its unique growth environment makes it unique:

Dry aroma: tea, flowers (magnolia, tulips) vanilla plants, milk, black sugar sweet, high-grade champagne and aroma up.

Wet fragrance: apricot, caramel, milk, flower.

Sipping: good oil quality, delicate Lishan special tea feeling, high-end liquor astringent but then turned into a delicate and smooth Body to fill the mouth.

Berry candy and spices are sweet, accompanied by floral aromas, the finish is full of floral aromas, fruit sweetness and body are quite long-lasting, the lower the temperature, the more delicate the acidity.

La Esmeralda Manor has won 12 coffee competitions so far, and the highest bidding record for three times in online open bidding is US $21 in 2004, US $50.25 in 2006, and US $130 in 2007. Of course, other countries have also raced a pound of good coffee close to $50 (Brazil's CoE champion Fazenda Santa inflows in 2005) and Guatemala CoE champion El Injerto $80.20 in 2008, but you pay attention to the time point, that is, when La Esmeralda set a record price, there was no bid to surpass her before, but she will surpass others and say she is a record creator, no fluke!
