China? The next savior of Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee is not as famous in today's international coffee market as we Asians think. In fact, many countries in Europe do not have Blue Mountain Coffee. With the exception of Britain. Higgen's Coffee Roasters in London is one of the few European coffee roasting shops that roast the Blue Mountains. In fact, this is not surprising. The best part of the first wave of Blue Mountain that is really famous in the world comes from Britain, not Japan as we all imagine. But with the decline of the sunset empire, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee nearly hit rock bottom. When CIB was founded in 1948, their original intention was to revive the international status of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. But what they are waiting for is not the old British employer, but Japan, a coffee powerhouse as far away as Asia.

At a time when the boutique coffee movement is in the ascendant, especially when the concept of manor coffee is springing up all over the world, coffee produced in some newly discovered excellent estates and those newly cultivated excellent coffee varieties may be particularly eye-catching and refreshing in some taste features. But personally, I think it is not as introverted and elegant as the real Manor extreme Blue Mountain Coffee.

In fact, Blue Mountain Coffee is not as strong aroma, beautiful fruit aroma and long and strong aftertaste as many friends think. Everything it comes is so introverted and down-to-earth, soft and implicit, rich and long-lasting. None of the flavors are overly exaggerated and abrupt. Maybe some people say today that Blue Mountain Coffee is nothing more than that. But if you can calm down and drink slowly, you will feel the elegance and richness that lingers in a plain state. It may not be very eye-catching, but it requires you to appreciate it professionally in order to feel that it is so extraordinary.

The advantages and disadvantages of Blue Mountain Coffee are mainly shown in the following aspects:

Variety. There is no doubt that Blue Mountain Coffee belongs to Arabica, but what is commendable is that it is the traditional typica (Iron pickup) variety of Abika coffee. This alone is enough to make it stand out from the crowd. We know that when coffee is introduced from Ethiopia to the Arab region. Arabica coffee is famous for three traditional varieties (typica tin pickup, bourbon and mocha). Although these three traditions, or primitive Arabica coffee, are not satisfactory in terms of high yield, stable yield and disease resistance, their flavor is still so excellent that it is worth pursuing. Some people even say that the taste of today's Arabica coffee is far inferior to that of these three traditional varieties.

Today, in countries that produce high-quality Arabica coffee, people use hybrid varieties created by artificial technology, biotechnology, and even cloning technology in order to obtain economic benefits such as high yield, stable yield and disease tolerance. the flavor of its coffee is far inferior to these three seemingly primitive and delicate coffee varieties. And Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee belongs to this kind of coffee that retains the original typica (Iron pickup) pure pedigree. Perhaps people can say that the technology of coffee agriculture in Jamaica is underdeveloped. Maybe so, but the unique flavor of Blue Mountain typica comes from its original and pure variety.
