A brief introduction to the treatment method of grinding degree and baking degree of fine coffee beans in Panamanian jadeite manor with bright taste

The distinction between Panamanian growing areas mainly depends on the sales situation of coffee, but mostly on geographical distribution. In the past, coffee was widely spread, and the following areas are actually one area, but these areas are closely linked.

Boquete

This is the Panamanian region that we are most familiar with. The special mountainous terrain of this area forms a microclimate which is very suitable for growing coffee. Cool weather and frequent fog slow down the ripening process of coffee cherries, and some even say that the climate can already simulate high-altitude planting.

Altitude: 400-1900m

Harvest period: December to March

Planting varieties: Tibica, Kaddura, Kaduai, bourbon, Rosa, San Ramon

Candela volcano

The area produces a lot of food for Panama, as well as excellent coffee. This area borders on Costa Rica.

Altitude: 1200-1600m

Harvest period: December to March

Planting varieties: Tibica, Kaddura, Kaduai, bourbon, Rosa, San Ramon

Renacimiento

Another producing area of Chirqui province, bordering Costa Rica. This producing area is relatively small, so it is not the main producing area of Panamanian boutique coffee.

Altitude: 1100-1500 m

Harvest period: December to March

Planting varieties: Tibica, Kaddura, Kaduai, bourbon, Rosa, San Ramon

Panamanian Rose Summer Jade Manor Red Standard Variety Flavor description Grinding scale production area introduction Anchor Point

Panamanian Jade Manor Roxia has three brands, which are divided according to altitude:

Bidding for ESMERALDA SPECIAL (red bid), selected above 1550 meters above sea level.

Poquet Boquete Geisha (green mark), Rose Summer is a selection of 1500 meters.

(ESMERALDA 1500) (Blue Standard) selected varieties of Rosa rugosa at an altitude of about 1500.

Red bid Rose Xia participates in the global bidding auction in May every year. Green bid does not participate in the auction, but it is also of high quality and the price is slightly cheaper. Buyers who buy red bid can give priority to buying green bid.

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: depending on the weather, soil and altitude, this "star" variety seems to have different tastes in different geographical locations. However, in the Aktenango region, we see typical rosy summer features: the slender shape of beans, the changes during baking, and the elegant and uncooked flavor in the cup.

Since 2004, SCAP has organized the first Best of Panama (BOP) Best Panama auction, with only 11 grades of beans, with an average transaction price of US $2.89 per pound. By 2012, this figure has reached US $24.83, which has greatly encouraged and promoted the development of boutique coffee. The famous Hacienda La Esmeralda, Don Pachi Estate, Carmen Estate and Elida Estate are all founding manors.

Panamanian Emerald Manor-the rose summer of Panama Geisha Hacienda La Esmeralda is the new king of boutique coffee, commonly known as "Red Standard Rose Summer". The quality is relatively high and the price is also high. La Esmeralda Manor has won a total of 12 coffee competitions so far, and has set a record of US $21 in 2004 and US $50.25 in 2006. And $130 in 2007! Of course, other countries have also played for good coffee close to $50 a pound.

When the commodity price of coffee was relatively low, the Panamanian Fine Coffee Association organized a competition called "Best Panama": coffee beans from different parts of Panama were ranked and auctioned online. Esmeralda Manor has been growing a kind of coffee called "Geisha" for many years, and the auction has made their coffee known to more people. Then they won the first place in the competition for four consecutive years from 2004 to 2007, and then won the competition again in 2009 and 2013. It kept breaking records until it was priced at $21/lb in 2004 and then rose to $170/lb in 2010. In 2013, a small portion of the sun-treated coffee was sold for $350.25/lb. There is no doubt that this is the highest price ever sold for a single manor coffee.

Unlike some other high-priced coffee (such as cat shit, Blue Mountain), the coffee quality of this estate is really up to its price level, although high demand and market factors also play a role. This record-breaking coffee tastes unusual: bright and strong floral and citrus flavors, full of tea. All these come from the advantage of "Geisha".

This estate has led to the cultivation of "Geisha" in many coffee plantations not only in Panama but also throughout Central America. For many coffee farmers, this variety means a high price, and to a large extent, this perception is correct. Because as a manor that grows "Geisha", the price of its coffee is always higher than that of other estates.

Traceability of origin

Panamanian coffee has high traceability of origin. Generally speaking, the origin of coffee in Panama can be traced to a single manor or even to a field on the manor.

Flavor characteristics

The better coffee in Panama has citrus and floral aromas, bright taste, elegant and complex flavor.
