Introduction to Coffee varieties-one: Rosa (English name: Geisha)

Rosa originated from a very rare wild species in Ethiopia, and the beans may be named after this coffee bean found near the local village called Rosa. The coffee tree is tall, its leaves are slender, and it is not afraid of coffee rust. It is characterized by a wide gap between branches on the trunk.

The appearance of raw beans is slender, and ripe beans have strong and rich fruit aroma. I personally feel that there is a strong sweet smell of roasted sweet potato, which is my favorite.

Because the harvest of this variety is very low, it can not be purchased by commercial trade. Such a small amount of cultivation in Panama, Jamaica, Malawi, Kenya, Guatemala and other countries.
