Front Street Coffee thinks that now the fine coffee market is blooming, first the rise of Ethiopian coffee beans, then to the rose summer sweeping the world, to the present post-treatment world, Blue Mountain coffee still stands, just a while ago, Front Street got Blue Mountain first launched for the batch of rose summer coffee, which makes Front Street marvel, Blue Mountain with superb agronomic technology and exquisite processing technology plus currently recognized as the best coffee varieties What kind of spark will it produce?

Jamaica is an island located in the Caribbean Sea. The Blue Mountain of Jamaica is the highest mountain in the western Caribbean Sea (2256 meters high). The unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee is related to the unique geographical location and climatic conditions of Blue Mountain.

At present, there are 6 kinds of marks that can represent the origin of Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Marfeis River Embankment Central Factory (MBCE), Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (MHCCT), Portland Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (PXXSH), Coffee Industry Association (Wallenford), Coffee Industry Association (St. John Peak) and Blue Beauty (JAS).

By 1969, the situation had improved, as Japanese loans had improved the quality of production and thus secured the market. By now, the coffee has reached the point of being fanatically loved.

By 1981, about 1500 hectares of land in Jamaica had been cleared for coffee, followed by investment in another 6000 hectares. In fact, today's Blue Mountain region is a small area of only 6000 hectares, and it is impossible that all the coffee labeled "Blue Mountain" is grown there. Blue Mountain coffee is therefore considered one of the best quality coffees.

Blue Mountain No. 1 Coffee

Blue Mountain One coffee served on Front Street comes from Clifton Farm, the largest plantation in the area, but also small-scale by international standards, many of which are owned by small landowners whose families have worked the land for two centuries. It is recognized as a very high quality world famous Blue Mountain coffee producing area.

As for why Blue Mountain ten years such as a day of focus in these years began to diverge thinking innovation. In fact, earlier, word spread that Jamaica was experimenting with bourbon. At this time, our friends in the front street heard the news and discussed the reasons for Jamaica's move. Before the popularity of light roasted sour coffee, the popular influence on coffee was a rich and aromatic flavor, like traditional mantins and Colombia coffee. At that time, the traditional Blue Mountain coffee was like the king of birds, and its clean and mellow flavor was imitated by people in the future. It was called "one king and one queen" in the coffee industry with Hawaii Kona.

However, the times have changed. First, the fruit-flavored Yerga Sherfi coffee, then the famous Panama rose summer coffee. Set off a worldwide wave of coffee's pleasant acidity. Many people like to take blue mountain coffee and rose summer coffee for comparison, the front street thinks this actually does not need to distinguish which is better or worse, heavy former overlord (blue mountain fragrant bitter balance) to now popular young student (rose summer fresh flower fragrance sweet), is undoubtedly the choice of people of the times, one day, today's rose summer will also become the former blue mountain, and for rose summer opponent, not other coffee varieties, but people taste choice.

In the face of this situation, sticking to the traditional Jamaica Blue Mountain farmers think that the status of Blue Mountain has been shaken, and gradually began to innovate, such as this year's new sun treatment Blue Mountain and Blue Mountain Rose Summer is a good proof.

Front Street Coffee also got a barrel of Blue Mountain Rose at the first moment. Like the traditional Blue Mountain No.1 coffee, the coffee exported was packaged in barrels. The production of this batch was rare and came from Clifton Farm. The barrels bear the Rainforest Alliance logo (Clifton is currently the only coffee farm in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica certified).

And we need to know that coffee trees belong to plants, not as simple as transplanting baristas from one place to another. It involves the adaptability and stability of new species to new environments. To grow good flavors, good agronomic experience, time adaptation, growing environment and sufficient coffee processing experience are required. It can be seen that Blue Mountain started the planting plan of other varieties very early, after years of breeding and flavor adjustment. Rose summer seed was discovered by Panama Emerald Manor in 2004 because of its high-quality flower fragrance and fruit flavor. After more than 10 years of spread, it is basically spread all over the coffee planting belt. Even Yunnan also grows rose summer. This year, Jamaica launched micro-batches of Blue Mountain Rose Summer, which can be seen that Blue Mountain is full of confidence in this Rose Summer Coffee.

treatment

Blue Mountain Rose Summer still uses Jamaica's good washing treatment, when processing, first remove the peel pulp, let it ferment for 12-18 hours, then put the fermented beans into the pool, move back and forth, use the friction of beans and the power of running water to wash the coffee beans smooth and clean. After washing, at this time, coffee beans are still wrapped in the endocarp, the moisture content of 50%, must be dried to reduce the moisture content to 12-14%, otherwise they will continue to mellow, mildew corruption. Coffee beans are then sifted and stored in special warehouses.

From the observation of raw beans, the color of raw beans is green, the body of beans is sharp and long, and the defect rate is extremely low, which shows the maturity of its treatment technology and quality control ability.

Analysis of Front Street Coffee Roasting

For this batch of Blue Mountain Rose Summer Coffee, the baker of Front Street encountered a difficult problem, which should highlight the blue mountain flavor or rose summer flavor, if make blue mountain flavor, then what is the significance of rose summer seed, if highlight rose summer flavor, then the name of Blue Mountain is not worthy. Faced with this problem, the front street baker first baked two kinds, namely the traditional full-bodied medium roast and the fruity floral fragrance light roast. After a few tweaks, the bakers decided to use a lighter baking curve that emphasized the rose aromas.

When the furnace temperature is 180℃, the fire power is 130, the damper is opened 3; the temperature returning point is 1 32", and the furnace temperature is 97℃, the fire power is unchanged; the damper is adjusted to 4 in 3 minutes, and the fire power is increased to 140 in 4 minutes. When the oven temperature is 153.5℃, the bean surface turns yellow, the grass flavor disappears completely, enters the dehydration stage, when 8 36", the bean surface appears ugly beard wrinkle and black stripe, the toast flavor obviously turns to coffee fragrance, can be defined as the prelude of the first explosion, at this time, we should hear the sound of the first explosion point clearly, to 9 31", the first explosion begins, after the first explosion develops 1 28", the bean is dried at 192℃.

Front Street Coffee Cup Test

After 8 hours after each round of baking, the sample will be cup-tested, using a 200ml standard cup measuring bowl, with a 20 standard sieve passing rate of 70%-75% grinding degree, powder amount of 11g. The water quality TDS is 120ppm and the water temperature is 94 degrees Celsius. Grind first to smell dry incense, then fill the bowl with water. Wet aroma confirmation, 4 minutes later, residue breaking and residue fishing, flavor evaluation.

Front Street Coffee Brewing Advice

The powder amount is 15g coffee powder, the ratio is 1:15, the water temperature is 91℃, and the grinding degree is medium fine grinding (75% of the standard sieve 20). Because the planting altitude in the Blue Mountain area is slightly lower than that in Panama, the hardness of coffee beans will be lower than that of Emerald Manor Rose Summer, so the grinding degree will be set to be slightly coarser than Emerald Manor Rose Summer.

brewing process

The ground rose blue mountain will emit a caramel aroma. Add 15g of coffee powder, gently pour 30g of water in the form of spreading water, steam for 30 seconds, and then inject 100g of water in the second stage, so that the powder layer expands rapidly in the form of small circles to raise the liquid level.

When the coffee powder layer is concave downward, the last 95g of water is injected to achieve a total powder water ratio of 1:15. The last section is also in the form of concentric circles, and the height of water injection is recommended to be 5cm to reduce the scouring force of water column on coffee powder, so as to avoid the miscellaneous smell that is easy to appear in the middle and later stages of extraction. The total extraction time is 50 seconds for 1 powder.

The blue mountain rose cooked in this way has a faint floral fragrance, clean and clear citrus, sweet and sour fruit rhyme of honeydew melon. The palate is round and supple.
