The Blue Mountain Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, because the mountain is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Whenever the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the blue light of the sea, hence the name Blue Mountain Coffee. This kind of coffee is not only full-bodied and mellow, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter, so it has no bitter taste at all, only a moderate and perfect sour taste.

Blue Mountain Coffee perfectly matches the sour, bitter, sweet and mellow taste together to form a strong and attractive elegant flavor, which is unmatched by other coffee. In addition, Blue Mountain Coffee has the functions of refreshing and awakening, strengthening muscles and bones, appetizing staple food, eliminating fat and accumulation, promoting orifice and dehumidification, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, extinguishing wind and relieving spasm, joyful color, lung and asthma. The above can not be compared with ordinary coffee, so Blue Mountain Coffee can be said to be the best coffee.

I. the source of the name

When it comes to Jamaica, everyone's eyes lit up immediately, because it produced the best "Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee" (Jamaica BlueMountain) in the world. We absolutely believe that Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is the best coffee, its acid, sugar, alcohol and bitterness are well balanced, fragrant and smooth to drink, but its price is so high that although it is worth a try, there is no need to be fascinated by it. Because other selected coffee also has its own characteristics, and the taste is delicious, the price is also reasonable, this is the good coffee in our life.

The earliest "Jamaica? Mountain "refers to the coffee produced by" Warren Ford Farm "and" Silver Hill Farm ", the former of which is of the best quality; the present-day Blue Mountains of Jamaica, refers to coffee beans growing in the Blue Mountain area east of Kingston, the capital of Jamaica (with a height of more than 1000 meters). Now Mawei is the largest manor, its barrel is printed with M.B.C.F, and its products are often found in Taiwan. The quality control of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica is very strict, and the certification work is carried out by the government's "Coffee Industry Committee".

Coffee beans that generally grow at low elevations and other areas can only be called "Jamaican mountain beans" or "Jamaican waterwashed beans". Compared with the Jamaican Blue Mountains, they have a lot of flavor, but, these producing areas are twice the size of the real blue mountain areas, and the output accounts for 75% of the country's output, so when you buy Jamaican coffee, don't think you bought blue mountain coffee.

Because Jamaica Blue Mountain is so famous, there are fake Blue Mountain Coffee on the market, or simply called "Blue Mountain Coffee". It is basically a comprehensive product prepared by the store. there may not be a real Jamaican blue bean in it.

II. History

In 1717 King Louis XV of France ordered the purchase at Tooth? Grow coffee, and in the mid-1920s, the Governor of Jamaica, Sir Nicholas Lloyd (NicholasLawes), imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began to plant them in the St. Andrews area (St.Andrew). To this day, St. Andrews is still one of the three major producers of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, with the other two producing areas: Portland (Portland) and St. Thomas (St.Thomas). In eight years, Jamaica exported more than 375 tons of pure coffee. In 1932, coffee production reached its peak and more than 15000 tons of coffee was harvested.

In 1950, the Government of Jamaica established the Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee (the Jamaica Coffee IndustryBoard), which sets quality standards for Jamaican coffee and supervises it. Quantitative standards are implemented to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee. The Commission awarded special official seals to raw and roasted coffee exported from Jamaica, which is the highest-level national coffee institution in the world. The origin of Blue Mountain Coffee can be represented by MavisBank CoffeeFactory (M.B.C.F), Blue Mountain Coffee Co-operative Factory (M.H.C.C.T.), Portland Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (P.X.X.S.H.), Coffee Industry Association (Wallenford), Coffee Industry Association (St. John Peak) and J.A.S.

By 1969, the situation had improved because the use of Japanese loans had improved the quality of production, thus ensuring the market. By now, this kind of coffee has reached the point of being feverishly loved.

By 1981, there were about 1500 hectares in Jamaica. The land was reclaimed to grow coffee, and another 6000 hectares of coffee land was subsequently opened up. In fact, today's Blue Mountain area is a small area with a planting area of only 6000 hectares, and it is impossible to grow all the coffee marked "Blue Mountain" there. Another 12000 hectares are used to grow two other types of coffee: Alpine Top Coffee and Jamaican Superior Coffee.

III. Classification

There are three varieties of coffee in Jamaica.

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

(Jamaica Blue MountainCoffee), of which Blue Mountain Coffee and Alpine Coffee are each divided into four grades. From top to bottom in terms of quality, NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and PB,PB are round beans. According to CIB standards, only coffee grown above 666m above sea level is called Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

Jamaican alpine coffee

(Jamaica High Mountain Supreme CoffeeBeans) the coffee produced below 666m in the Blue Mountain area of Jamaica is called Alpine Coffee, which is second only to Blue Mountain Coffee in quality and is called by industry insiders as the brother variety of Blue Mountain Coffee. Jamaica Blue Mountain caffeine produces very little, so? If you want to taste Jamaican coffee, then Jamaican alpine coffee is your best choice.

Jamaican Coffee

(Jamaica Prime CoffeeBeans). Coffee is grown outside the Blue Mountains and is called Jamaican coffee. It turns out that people in the coffee industry in China generally have a wrong understanding that only coffee grown in the Blue Mountains above 1800 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. In fact, there is only one manor on the top of the Blue Mountains above 1800, that is, Amber, which is of Chinese descent. The owner of the manor is surnamed Lyn (Lin). Originally from Guangdong, China, the manor has a land area of only 30 hectares and its output is very small. Blue Mountain Coffee is mainly distributed in 5 mountainous areas such as JohnCrow,St.John's Peak,Mossman's Peak,High Peak,Blue Mountian Peak in the Blue Mountains.
