Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

(Jamaican Blue Mountain)

I believe I have not introduced everyone has heard the name of Blue Mountain Coffee, Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is the best coffee in the world, it is called "Black Jewel". Like Rolls-Royce cars and Stradivari violins, when something gains the reputation of "the best in the world", that reputation often makes it unique and an immortal myth.

Blue Mountain Coffee is the most superior coffee in the world, with less production and scarcity. The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica because it is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On sunny days, 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 Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. Located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round (the average precipitation is 1980 mm, the temperature is around 27 degrees), this climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. It also creates the highest price coffee in the world. This kind of coffee has the characteristics of all good coffee, not only full-bodied and mellow, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee, it has no bitter taste at all, only a moderate and perfect sour taste. It is generally drunk on a single product, but because the output is very small and the price is extremely expensive, it is generally made with coffee with a similar taste on the market.

Cuban Crystal Mountain Coffee

(Cubita Coffee)

It slightly contains wine-like bitterness and a touch of sweetness, and even a hint of tobacco, meticulous and smooth, fresh and elegant, almost perfect. It is known as the "noble and elegant princess" in coffee. The general taste of coffee is as strong as heavy metal music, while the taste of Cubita is as delicate and balanced as the softness of country minor. It will take you out of the restless urban hustle and bustle and come back to the quiet countryside to reflect the casual and comfortable side of life.

With fertile land, humid climate and abundant Rain Water, Cuba can be called a natural treasure land for coffee cultivation. The suitable natural conditions provide a favorable natural environment for the growth of coffee trees. Coffee is well cultivated and developed here, and the best coffee growing area in Cuba is located in the Central Mountains. Because this area not only grows coffee, but also produces quartz, crystal and other precious minerals, it is also known as Crystal Mountain. Crystal Mountain is geographically adjacent to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, with similar climatic conditions and flavor similar to Blue Mountain Coffee, comparable to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. Also known by the outside world as "the Blue Mountains of Cuba". And the most authentic Crystal Mountain Coffee is Cuba's famous Cubita. Crystal Mountain Coffee is the top representative of Cuban coffee, while Cubita is the top representative of Crystal Mountain Coffee. Noble women and elegant men are always infatuated. Cubita is the same, a shallow taste, will be deeply attracted by its taste, and intoxicated among them, people can not extricate themselves.

Hawaiian Kona Coffee

(Hawaii Kona)

Kona coffee beans produced in Hawaii are the most beautiful coffee beans in the world. they are extremely full and shiny. Kona coffee beans are evenly shaped, have a strong sour and sweet taste, and taste gentle and smooth. Because it grows on volcanoes, the unique volcanic climate makes Kona coffee unique aroma and high-density artificial farming, so each bean can be said to be a spoiled "lady".

Kona Coffee is fresh, crisp, medium-bodied, slightly sour and full-bodied, with a long finish. Most rarely, Kona Coffee has a blend of wine, fruit and spice, as fascinating as the colorful colors of this volcanic archipelago. Generally speaking, the taste of Kona coffee belongs to a relatively mild category. Kona coffee is too refreshing and simple. But if you are the kind of person who must slowly get into the state with the smell of coffee before tasting coffee, then Kona is the right coffee for you, because it is not like the born emperor of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, which is conquered at the first sip; nor is it like the elegant princess of Cubita in the Crystal Mountain of Cuba, which makes you infatuated with her; Kona Coffee is like a girl in the Hawaiian sunshine breeze, fresh and natural, lukewarm. Due to dwindling yields and prices catching up with Blue Mountain Coffee, Kona produces 2 million pounds of beans a year on less than 2600 acres of coffee. Most of the coffee that calls itself "Kona" now contains less than 5% of the real Hawaiian Kona coffee.
