Flavor description of Panamanian Alda Rosa Coffee Bean introduction of varieties in the producing area

At present, the main rose summer is the rose summer of Panama, Colombia, Guatemala and Costa Rica, among which the flavor of Panama and Colombia is the best.

Introduction to the manor

Elida Manor in Panama is located in Pokuit, a famous boutique coffee producing area in Panama. Elida Manor has a total area of 65 hectares, more than half of which is within the scope of Baru Volcano National Park, only 30 hectares of the estate is used for planting coffee trees, and the rest are virgin forests.

Coffee is grown from 1670 to 1850 meters above sea level and is one of two coffee estates at high elevations in Panama (the other is located at Carmen in the Vulcan Valley. )

At such a high altitude, the low temperature delayed the ripening of the coffee berries, about a month later than the normal ripening period, while the fertile volcanic soil provided sufficient nutrients for the coffee, coupled with the good microclimate brought by the Baru volcano, Elida Manor was able to achieve good results in cup test competitions.

There are three main varieties planted in Elida Manor, namely, Catuai (Kaduai), Typica (Iron pickup) and Geisha (Rose Summer). The processing plant of the manor is halfway up the hillside. After the coffee is picked, it can be transported to the factory for processing as soon as possible to ensure that the quality of the coffee fruit is not affected. Of course, Elida's environment is also suitable for growing other high-quality temperate crops, especially tree tomatoes and some uncommon high-altitude fruits, which are interestingly often found in Elida coffee.

Alida Manor, the most famous estate of the Lamastus family, was founded in 1918. Since Robert Lamastus, the founder of the Lamastus family coffee estate, planted the first coffee tree, it has been a century and witnessed the popularity of boutique coffee around the world.

Until now, Alida Manor has been passed on by the descendants of the Lamastus family, including the owner Mr. Wilford, the son of Wilford's father Thatcher,Wilford / fourth-generation successor Wilford Jr. As a traditional coffee family, coffee has been integrated into their family genes. Wilford was born on a small coffee farm, and his parents were also born on the coffee farm, which now produces coffee from Arida Manor, Donkey Manor and Louito Manor.

In addition to the unique ultra-high altitude and microclimate, Mr. Wilford, the owner of the manor, has also made considerable efforts in harvesting and processing. In order to meet the highest standard, the coffee at Elida Manor is only allowed to pick the most ripe coffee fruit (Ripe on Pinton) by hand. The maturity of the fruit is high, and the sugar content of pectin is naturally high, which is also the basis for producing high-quality Elida flavor.

Mr. Wilford, the owner of the estate, in addition to the extremely strict treatment of coffee cultivation, the "purification" of raw beans is also more stringent than those of the same industry. In Panama Elida, after raw beans are processed, they need to go through more than 5 months of low temperature Resting to remove green, so that the flavor of coffee can be more balanced and full development.

(low temperature Resting is a concept of raw bean purification promoted by coffee master George Howell in 2006. We found that raw beans in subtropics need to be kept at low temperature, but different treatments and elevations will change the time of low temperature Resting. Panama Elida is the best for 5 months of low temperature Resting.)

The oldest coffee estate in Panama and one of the highest in the Pokuit region, it grows rose summer estates at ultra-high elevations (2050m). Not only won many BOP championships, but also held the record for measuring the score of the BOP Cup (Alida Green Top Water washed Rose Summer with an ultra-high score of 94.66 in 2018, breaking the 2016 record of Alida Green Top Water Rose Summer 94.15).

The manors of Central American countries are Arida's most "Kenyan BlackBerry notes". The aroma is rich and obvious, and the complex fruit flavor is varied and lasting, which has become the main reason why the diners love it very much.

The species of Geisha was discovered in the Rose Forest of Ethiopia in 1931 and sent to the Coffee Institute in Kenya. Introduced to Uganda and Tanzania in 1936 and Costa Rica in 1953, little attention was paid to Rosa until one day, Don Pachi was originally brought to Costa Rica from the small town of GESHA in the southwest of Ethiopia, and then Rosa entered Panama along the southern route, where Esmerada Manor in Panama separated it from other varieties and won the national coffee competition.

Qianjie coffee is recommended to be brewed in 90-92 degrees water. Rosa has a full sweet taste and an extremely clean taste, with rich aromas ranging from berries and citrus to mango, papaya and peach. A very obvious lemon (bergamot) general aftertaste is also a typical cup test attribute. So far, Rose Summer has been the champion of coffee varieties.
