Jasmine Flower Panama Kasha Fine Coffee Bean Grinding Degree Roast Degree Treatment Method Introduction

But in my opinion, I am used to drinking beans that are too clean and well-behaved, and beans treated with sun or honey often bring me more surprises. Balanced and soft Central American coffee, the use of honey or sun treatment will give it more possibility of flavor, and the feedback characteristics will become more plump, complex and multi-layered. Like the Sunshine Alida introduced to you, it is moderately sour and sweet after import, close to the flavor of strawberry fruit tea, rich, complex and unique aroma, transformed into toast and cream, vanilla aroma. The collision between berries and the unique flavor of fermented sauce gives Alida a unique flavor.

In fact, there are not many suggestions on production, not intentionally lazy and unwilling to share with you, just because their own quality is good enough, under the premise of ensuring freshness, in the normal scope of play, generally will not be washed too bad. Generally speaking, the roasting degree of the above two types of coffee will mostly be medium and shallow roasting, and it is recommended that the temperature of hand brewing is about 90 ℃. During the extraction of the first stage, the stirring and disturbing intensity of the water column can be increased, the high quality flavor can be fully released, and the stirring intensity will be reduced in the latter stage, so as to prevent the bad flavor from being precipitated. All that's left is to enjoy it.

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.

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.

Alida is treated with water washing, sun exposure and honey treatment. It is worth mentioning that Alida's sun-dried beans are one of my favorite beans. I like the dry aroma after grinding very much, and I am particularly greedy for its unique flavor of sauce and wine. But there are also friends who can't readily accept the flavor of soy sauce in sun-dried beans at first. Not long ago, I heard some students use "sweet noodle sauce" to describe the sauce they smelled in the sun beans, and rejected the taste.
