The growth process of boutique coffee Blue Mountain Coffee

There are seven sexual identities for the quality of a cup of coffee. The first three depend on the farmers who grow coffee beans-the variety of coffee trees, the origin of coffee, and the way they grow coffee-are called the basics of choosing the quality of coffee; the fourth identity depends on the picker. So far, we can also improve the quality and taste of coffee. After that, we can only connect or damage the quality of the coffee, but we can't make it better. Then there are the three most important steps-the transportation and storage of coffee beans; the experience and techniques of coffee roasters and the roasting style of coffee beans; and finally, the construction of coffee beans. All of these seven identities can affect the taste of coffee and pay close attention to the quality of coffee.

Types of coffee beans

There are more than 20 categories of coffee beans, but only two of them are the most important. Most of the world's top quality coffee comes from them-70% of the world's coffee production is known as Arabica coffee beans, and is regarded as the best coffee bean variety because of its low caffeine content and excellent taste based on it. In addition, less than 30 per cent of the coffee read Robusta beans, which are not as full-bodied as Arabica, but contain more than 50 per cent caffeine. COSTA adds a small amount of robusta beans to its coffee mix to balance the taste of coffee and ensure enough coffee fat to create a weird mocha Italian recipe (MochaItalia). The scale of coffee cultivation is spacious and broad, and the producing areas are all over the Tropic of Cancer. Robusta coffee beans are more suitable for growing in low-altitude rainforests, while Arabica coffee is concentrated at slightly higher elevations. Coffee can be grown all year round. Some tropical countries, such as Colombia, can harvest two seasons a year. Coffee trees usually last for 3 to 5 years after planting. In this day and age, coffee trees need to be pruned to prevent diseases and insect pests, and even need to plant spray banana trees around to protect them from sunburn. Moreover, because coffee growing areas are generally full of Rain Water, coffee trees should be planted on slopes to avoid being soaked by Rain Water. All these add considerable difficulty to the picking of coffee beans. COSTA selects high-quality coffee from various coffee growing areas around the world that are suitable for coffee development, and is picked by experienced technicians by hand to ensure the quality of the coffee. Each red coffee contains 2 coffee beans, only manual operation can determine and ensure that the picked coffee is fully mature.

The secret of the pure taste of Blue Mountain Coffee:

The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, hence its name because it is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the mountains reflect the bright blue light of the sea. The blue mountain is 2256 meters above sea level, which is the highest in the Caribbean. The Blue Mountain Mountains are located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, wet weather, foggy and rainy all the year round (the average precipitation is 1980 mm, the temperature is around 27 degrees), such weather has cultivated the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, as well as the most expensive coffee in the world. This kind of coffee has all the characteristics of high-quality coffee, not only strong and mellow in the mouth and stomach, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee, so it has no bitter taste at all, only moderate and perfect sour taste. It is generally drunk on a single product, but because the output is small and the price is extremely expensive, it is generally made with coffee with a similar taste in the market.

All coffee trees grow on high and humble hillsides, and the picking process is so difficult that non-local skilled female workers are simply incompetent. It is important to choose the right ripe coffee beans when picking, immature or ripe in the city affects the quality of the coffee. The picked coffee beans are shelled on the same day, and then let them ferment for 18 hours. After that, the coffee beans were cleaned and screened. The subsequent process is to dry, which must be carried out on the cement floor or on a thick blanket until the humidity of the coffee beans drops to 12% 14%. And then store it in a special warehouse. Take it out and roast when needed, then grind it into powder. These rules must be strictly grasped, otherwise, the quality of coffee will be affected.

The history of Blue Mountain Coffee:

In 1717 King Louis XV of France ordered coffee to be grown in Jamaica, and in mid-1920, the Governor of Jamaica, Nicholas. NicholasLawes imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began to plant them in the St.Andrew region. To this day, the St. Andrews region is still one of the three largest producers of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, with two other 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 a peak, with a harvest of more than 15000 tons of coffee. The Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee (theJamaicaCoffeeIndustryBoard) was established by the Government of Jamaica in 1950 to develop quality standards for Jamaican coffee and to supervise the implementation of quality standards to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee. The committee awarded special official seals to raw coffee and roasted coffee exported from Jamaica, which is the first-class national coffee organization in the world. At present, there are six kinds of marks that can represent the origin of Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Mafis River Embankment Center Factory (M.B.C.E), Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative 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's Peak) and J.A.S (Lanli).
