If it took Leonardo more than 20 years to win the golden man, then Blue Mountain Coffee is synonymous with "Shadow King" in the coffee world, just like Malone. Brando also firmly occupies the position of movie star in the hearts of movie fans, and he is simply the "godfather of coffee"!

Blue Mountain Coffee grew up in Jamaica, and the superior growing environment created the coffee superstar. The Blue Mountains are located in eastern Jamaica, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Whenever the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea, hence the name. The highest peak of the Blue Mountain, 2256 meters above sea level, is located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round, which has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

The most perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee is Blue Mountain Coffee. Its aroma is very rich and balanced, full of fruit acid and nutty, so the bitterness is extremely low, and has a moderate and perfect sweet and sour taste, it can be said that all the tastes have achieved the best results!

Blue Mountain Coffee beans are full, and its flavor can be best reflected by medium roasting. In addition, the caffeine content of Blue Mountain Coffee is very low, which is less than half of that of other coffee, which is in line with the modern concept of health.

Jamaican coffee is also strictly classified and graded. Can be divided into three categories: blue Mountain Coffee, Alpine Coffee and ordinary Jamaican Coffee.

Blue Mountain Coffee (Blue Mountain Coffee)

Coffee grown in the Blue Mountain area above 1600 meters above sea level is generally called Blue Mountain Coffee. They are mainly distributed in 5 mountainous areas, such as JohnCrow, St. John's Peak, Mossman's Peak, HighPeak and Blue Mountain Peak.

Blue Mountain Coffee is divided into No.1 and No.2 levels. In addition, there are round beans (Peaberry), also known as pearl beans, which are carefully selected from the products at an altitude of 2100 meters above sea level.

Alpine coffee (High Mountain Supreme Coffee Beans)

The coffee growing in the range of 450 to 1500 meters in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica is called Alpine Coffee, which is second only to Blue Mountain Coffee in quality and is called the brother breed of Blue Mountain Coffee by industry insiders. Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee produces very little, so if you want to taste Jamaican coffee, Jamaican Alpine Coffee is your best choice.

Jamaica Coffee (Jamaica Prime Coffee Beans)

Jamaican coffee refers to coffee grown outside the Blue Mountains. It is between 250 and 500 meters above sea level, and is generally not classified in Blue Mountain Coffee because of the large gap between altitude, location and Blue Mountain.

Due to the extremely stringent requirements on its geographical location, growing environment and picking conditions, the yield of Blue Mountain coffee is very low, which has always been less than 900 tons. From the 1960s to the present, Japan has always invested heavily in supporting the Jamaican coffee industry, so Blue Mountain Coffee is mostly owned by the Japanese, and they have also obtained the right of preemptive purchase of Blue Mountain Coffee.

90% of the blue mountain coffee is bought by the Japanese, and the rest of the world can only get the remaining 10%, so regardless of the price, blue mountain coffee is always in short supply. According to this distribution, with the exception of Japan, the world can only consume 90 tons of coffee a year. Is it possible to drink it for just a few dozen yuan?
