Do you know anything about Rosa Coffee?

The pronunciation of Geisha is the same as Japanese geisha, so it is also called geisha coffee. Because the tree species are taller than ordinary coffee trees, they are originally planted in a small area of the manor and are used as windbreaks. In order to take part in the annual competition for the best coffee in Panama, the son of the manor owner searched all the coffee trees in the manor for testing, so that Geisha had a chance to appear on the stage. Since then, he has also participated in various world coffee competitions, winning a total of 11 championships.

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 Rose Summer until one day, Don Pachi was originally brought to Costa Rica from the town of GESHA in southwestern 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.
