Last Updated: 2024/09/20, 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. Maybe you don't know the story of Rosa, an ancient native species from Ethiopia that was brought into a coffee experimental garden in Costa Rica as a coffee sample.

Floral, tropical fruit, intense sweetness; these are the feelings that rose summer has always brought us. Properly baked, they make you feel like sipping the fragrance of a bouquet of flowers. In case you haven't heard the story, Rose Summer is an ancient native from Ethiopia that was brought into Costa Rica as a coffee sample and distributed to several small farms for small-scale trials.

Not much attention was paid to the rose until the Esmeralda estate in Panama separated it from the rest and won the national coffee championship.

She's so extraordinary, fruity and floral, it's like a Yega Shefi from Ethiopia, Africa, halfway around the world. Of course, that's old news now. A few small farms are getting summer roses, and eager ones want to grow their own.

However, the results vary, depending on weather, soil and altitude, and the taste of this "star" variety does not seem to be the same in different geographical locations. But in the Actanango region, we see typical rosewood characteristics: slender bean shapes, changes in baking, and elegant, ripened flavors in the cup

Emerald Estate covers an area of about 12.5 hectares, which is a miniature small estate in Panama. According to the owner's dictation, 8.5 hectares of it are planted with varieties ranging from common typica, red catuai and Pacamara. Since 2008, Geisha coffee has been grown in a small number of areas, and now accounts for nearly half of the total; the estate is about 1500 meters to 1675 meters above sea level, and in addition to coffee cultivation, there are 3.5 hectares of primary forest and various fruit trees, including cypress, pine and eucalyptus trees in the mountains, which is a typical example of a self-sufficient estate.

Castillo is best known for winning the 2011 Best of Panama contest with a cup score of 92.3 points, beating Emerald Manor, the most iconic and successive champion at the time, and breaking the year's record for gold to $70.25 per pound. In the following years, there have been numerous outstanding results, and the final competition batches of Panama have been selected for the year, including the fifth place in the washed geisha group in 2012, the tenth place in the washed geisha group in 2013, the twelfth place in the washed geisha group in 2014, and the fourteenth place in the washed geisha group in 2015.

Finca La Valentina, owned by the Osorio family, is located in Panama, Boquete,Horqueta, where the terrain varies greatly and the climate is humid. The average temperature is around 15-20 degrees. In addition, there is a forest surrounding the slate mine and two clear streams next to the estate. The resources are quite rich. It is a great planting paradise.

FincaLaValentina is dedicated to the cultivation of fine beans. In addition to personal care, the unique microclimate of the area also creates their Arabica coffee beans (SHB), which are of outstanding high quality. In 2011, the estate's Geisha ARISTAR won first place in the Panama competition. In 2012, GeishaARISTAR and Valentina also scored 87.07 and 84.66 respectively.

In the early years, the identification of top coffee mostly followed Japan, while Geisha carried the hurricane power to sweep the coffee world. This coffee revolution was fierce, so that the king and queen ~ Jamaica Blue Mountain and Hawaii Kona, who had occupied the throne of coffee kingdom for a long time, also had to retreat. This wild variety originally originated in Ethiopia, after experiencing countless battles, is now valued in all major coffee producing areas, and its best spokesman is the "La Esmeralda" estate from Panama. Esmeralda Estate's Rosedale coffee is the most famous of the Rosedale varieties. Panama Rosedale grows at an altitude of 1,500-1,650 meters. Its unique growing environment makes it unique in flavor:

Dry fragrance: tea fragrance, flower fragrance (magnolia, tulip) vanilla plant, milk fragrance, brown sugar sweet, high champagne and aroma rise.

Wet fragrance: apricot, caramel, milk, flower fragrance.

Sip: Oil texture is good, delicate pear mountain special tea feeling, high-grade white wine astringent but immediately turned into a delicate smooth Body full of mouth.

Berry candy and spice sweet intertwining, accompanied by floral emission, full of floral aftertaste, sweet fruit and body is quite persistent, the lower the temperature, the more delicate the acid.

La Esmeralda has so far won 12 coffee competitions and three online public bidding records: $21 in 2004,$50.25 in 2006 and $130 in 2007! Of course, other countries have also bid a pound of good coffee close to 50 dollars (Brazil CoE champion Fazenda Santa Inês in 2005), El Injerto in 2008 Guatemala CoE champion 80.20 dollars; but you pay attention to the time point, that is, La Esmeralda bid record, before no bid price surpassed her, then, but she will surpass others, saying she is the record maker, no fluke!
