Complex floral aromas, similar to jasmine and sweet-scented osmanthus; a mixture of sweet citrus and unrestrained tropical fruit aromas, sweet chocolate; complex and impacting aromas that are difficult to describe; dry aromas with a hint of nutty cream.

Taste: the complex flavor is highly consistent with the aroma, with a strong sense of sweetness in the mouth, the iconic acidity of Panamanian summer, round touch, bright acidity and high overall cleanliness; the floral flavor at the end is strong, but it is slightly astringent at the base of the tongue. When it is cold, the sweetness similar to sugar cane is very good.

Evaluation: the freshness of beans feels fast, and the astringency at the end of the bean does not disappear with a small Fuji mill or changing filter paper, and the fault tolerance rate is not particularly high in rose summer (the water temperature above 95 degrees will be too high if it exceeds 2min20s), but the flavor level is very open, and the complexity of flower and fruit aroma is more complex than that of jade rose summer, which tends to the unrestrained flavor of tropical fruits (sun beans). Feel one and a half less a grid, rushed to 1:16 is actually the most appropriate, two bars at the end of the drink can drink a little more than the feeling of extract, but not serious Panama kotowa Duncan Manor Sun Rose Summer Duncan Geisha 115g cooked beans Kotowa family has four estates, its two most famous estates are Duncan and Don K. Duncan Duncan Manor is more than 1700 meters above sea level, and many of the huge coniferous forests in the park are more than 200 years old. Best of Panama's biggest winner in 2014, its most famous estates Duncan and Don K, won a total of five batches.

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!

La Esmeralda Manor was bought by Price Peterson's father, Rudolph A. Peterson, a Swedish banker. He was the president of Bank of America and was a big shot in the financial circle at that time. Rudolph bought Hacienda La Esmeralda only for vacation and later retirement. It should not have been expected that the estate would become world-famous and even become the representative of Panamanian boutique coffee estate. Price took over according to altitude and micro-climate. And according to the cup test performance and planting varieties, the market is divided into three major brands to sell (Esmeralda Special,Diamond Mountain grows,Palmyra)

Palmyra (Rainforest Alliance Certification) this brand of coffee is grown in Catuai near the Baru Volcano Park. It has a typical Panamanian Bouqete high-altitude coffee flavor. Sour will not be too exciting, sweet nuts and vanilla chocolate flavor. S of nuts, Palmyra is actually the highest yield of La Esmeralda coffee, accounting for about 70% of the total family coffee production
