A brief introduction to the treatment method of grinding degree and baking degree of Cupid coffee beans with moderate sour and bitterness

Boquete is a volcanic area at high altitude because Baru Volcano brings fertile soil, high terrain, wet and cold air, different sunshine, abundant rainfall, and rivers flowing through it, resulting in excellent Panamanian fine coffee. This batch of coffee comes from the same production area as Emerald Manor, which happens to be located in a continuous valley and ridge, thus forming several microclimates. Coffee produced in different areas has its own characteristics. Fresh and comfortable citrus notes, bright and colorful Southeast Asian fruit notes, delicate floral intertexture exudes a very elegant and elegant flavor.(Geisha Mountain, which happens to be the same as Japanese geisha) exported to Kenya, Tanzania, Costa Rica, and transplanted to Panama in the 1960s. After nearly half a century, it was a blockbuster, defeating the winning army, such as Boben, Kadura, Kaduai, and Tibika, and winning the first prize in the 2005, 2006, and 2007 Panama National Treasure Bean Cup Test Competition. In 2007, the International Famous Bean Cup sponsored by the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) won the championship again, and the bidding price was sold at 130 US dollars per pound, setting a record for the highest price in the history of competition beans. It is reported that the subsequent Panama National Treasure Bean Competition will be divided into two groups: Rose Summer and Non-Rose Summer, so as not to be robbed of the glory of other varieties by Rose Summer. Guixia belongs to the Tibika family, but after leaving Ethiopia for more than 70 years, she became famous. It also fulfilled the saying that Ethiopia is the treasure house of Arabica genes. Any donation of a variety abroad is enough to make waves in the coffee market.

This coffee is composed of three varieties of Guixia, Kadura and Kaduai. It grows in the volcanic area at an altitude of 1600 meters. The processing plant uses fine honey treatment and traditional washing. Panama's special local microclimate leads to abundant rainfall in this area, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. In addition, the volcanic rock soil unique to volcanic areas, as well as careful harvesting and fine processing, make this coffee outstanding in terms of thickness, acid and high mountain black tea aroma.

The Baru volcano is not only the highest mountain range in Panama, but the sediments produced by early volcanic activity and eruptions have brought abundant and very fertile soil, which is rich in nutrients, especially phosphorus and sulfur. When mixed with clay, together with unique climatic patterns, the region has formed an environment suitable for the growth of high-quality coffee. The dense forest and the large number of species form the overall biodiversity.

The coffee farmers here, about 50 of them in a small cooperative, produce coffee the traditional way in the Borquites-growing it in a near-natural environment. Although the yield is not high, it can maintain a rich ecological environment, and the soil quality can be maintained or even improved. Natural cultivation methods are not only beneficial to the environment, because coffee fruit grows slowly, so it is easier to grow high-quality and very good flavor coffee beans. The farmers manually harvest the whole berries and send them to the nearby Cafede ELEta S.A. for post-processing, which is about 4 km away from the farm and has a modern laboratory attached for quality control and manual screening.

What is even more surprising is that on the basis of very good quality, the price of this coffee bean is very close to the people. What makes this coffee bean special is that it is made up of three varieties, 30% of which are the famous rose summer, giving this coffee a distinct rose summer flavor.

Information obtained from green bean dealers indicates that, due to the history of the estate, early rosewood varieties were mixed with Kadura and Kaduai coffee trees in pursuit of yield at that time, and coffee farmers did not reclassify them for easy picking, but directly mixed the three varieties. After that, due to the fame of Guixia and the high price, the processing plant began to carry out fine washing treatment + honey treatment for such a coffee bean. The coffee thus processed has a clean taste, emphasizing bright and lively fruit acids, as well as clear fruit and floral flavors. Honey processing also adds sweetness and caramel taste.

Panamanian coffee is sorted and numbered in small batches designed to be small in volume for optimal management, and the sorting number allows buyers to understand and track information throughout the process.

Due to its small volume, Panamanian coffee products are based on specialty coffee. The country supplies its high-quality products to specialized shops in countries around the world, such as Denmark, Britain, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Korea, Japan, China Taiwan Province and American coffee, which was first brought to Panama by European immigrants in the 19th century. In the past, Panama's reputation for coffee was not very good, and its production was only 1/10 of that of its neighbor Costa Rica, but now the coffee industry's attention to fine coffee has made Panama more and more interested in growing coffee. Panama's geographical advantage is that it has many distinctive microclimates suitable for coffee cultivation, and Panama also has many dedicated and professional coffee growers. This means that Panama has a lot of very good coffee, but this coffee is often associated with high prices.

The high coffee prices in Panama are mainly caused by the following factors:
