Knowledge explanation of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

Overview of Blue Mountain Coffee

The Jamaican government has a very strict definition of Blue Mountain coffee: it must be grown in the Blue Mountain area of the Jamaica Coffee Authority (The Coffee Industry Board), processed by a government-authorized processing plant and certified by the government. Among them, there are only a few government-designated processing (baking) plants for more than a dozen areas that are designated as very specific areas in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica.

The Blue Mountains stretch northeast of Kingston, the capital of the Caribbean island nation of Jamaica. The island of Jamaica is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, when the sun shines brightly on the sea, and the distant mountains are shrouded in an ethereal blue atmosphere due to the refraction of the azure sea. It is said that the origin of the name Blue Mountain is that the British soldiers who had arrived in Jamaica could not help exclaiming, "look, the blue mountain!" when they saw the blue light shining on the peak. This is the Blue Mountain.

Most of the peaks of the Blue Mountains are more than 1800 meters above sea level, and the famous Blue Mountain Coffee grows in this mountain area. As early as 1728, the British Governor in Jamaica, Sir Nicholas Strauss (Sir Nicolas Lawes), brought the first coffee seedlings to Jamaica from Martinique. By 1790, some coffee farmers among the refugees in exile from Haiti had settled in the Blue Mountains and brought coffee-growing technology here. In 1838, Jamaica abolished slavery, allowed freed slaves to cultivate their own land, and freed slaves moved to the mountains to grow coffee and exported it to England. These coffees became more and more popular in British society.

Today, the status of Blue Mountain Coffee in the coffee world is like the Rolls-Royce in cars, and people who love Blue Mountain Coffee are called "coffee beauties" who combine all the advantages of good coffee.

The planting and processing of Blue Mountain Coffee is also very elegant. There are strict and detailed regulations on the use of seedlings, the use of organic fertilizers, harvesting, cleaning, fermentation, baking and packaging; harvesting is based on manual picking; and Jamaica is so far the country that still uses traditional wooden barrels to transport coffee.

Coffee that has passed this series of stringent standards set by the Jamaican government can obtain the "Blue Mountain Coffee" certificate issued by the government.

Introduction to JABLUM Manor

The Blue Mountain Coffee produced by JABLUM Manor is the oldest and largest Blue Mountain Coffee company (accounting for about 40% of the total Blue Mountain Coffee). It is the main founder of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, a world-famous brand. JABLUM coffee is the national gift of the Jamaican government. It is fragrant, dark and fruity, smooth and mellow on the palate, perfectly blended with sweet and bitter taste and a long finish. Its precious is described as a black gem. Its status is like the best Rolls-Royce in cars and Rolex in watches. With the support of the Jamaican government, manufacturers set aside a share from the tight global quota and officially entered the Chinese market in November 2005. Country of origin packing fresh by air.

Or in more detail: in the towering blue mountains of eastern Jamaica, there is a small agricultural town, Mavisban, where the Mavisban coffee production center sits. The world-famous Jamaican JABLUM coffee, known as the "black gem", is produced here.

JABLUM Blue Mountain coffee is roasted in the original factory and packaged in the country of origin to ensure the original flavor. Coffee beans can not be directly roasted and put on the market as soon as they are picked from the tree. From harvest to baking, it takes about 3-6 months to process (fermentation, now aging), that is, to let coffee beans undergo biochemical changes under certain conditions, which is a wine-like brewing process. These biophysical changes are affected by specific conditions, such as air temperature, air pressure, temperature, light and so on. Because the manufacturer Mavisban Manor is located, as in the ideal height and slope location, its sunshine, air pressure, temperature changes, temperature and so on are ideal for the aging process of coffee. Of course, 150 years of traditional technology, handed down from generation to generation in the family, is also a unique guarantee of quality. Similarly, it is for this reason that the Jamaican Coffee Board used to recognize only coffee produced by the estate as Blue Mountain Coffee.

Then there is the traditional baking of Mavisban Manor, which is a unique art. JABLUM Blue Mountain Coffee is baked meticulously by the most experienced chefs under the supervision of the Chief licensed Inspector (Certified Cup Taster), the largest and oldest Blue Mountain Coffee company, Marvis. 150 years of craftsmanship is the guarantee of quality.

At the same time, the Jamaican Coffee Bureau will carry out a series of strict certification experience on roasted beans according to strict Blue Mountain development standards before they are released, which is another layer of guarantee for the quality of Blue Mountain Coffee. Roasting beans outside the country loses this layer of guarantee, which is why in the past, the coffee bureau stipulated that it must be roasted by a designated manufacturer before it was certified as Blue Mountain Coffee.

Why is Blue Mountain so valuable?

First of all, Blue Mountain Coffee has a unique flavor.

Blue Mountain coffee has a peculiar taste, moderate acidity, sweetness and bitterness, and has a kind of attractive elegance, which is related to the unique geographical location and climatic conditions of Blue Mountain. South of the Tropic of Cancer and north of the Tropic of Cancer, this area is suitable for growing coffee, called the coffee belt. In this unique environment, Blue Mountain Coffee absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and grows slowly, creating an unparalleled quality and charm.

Second, scarcity is the most precious thing.

Blue Mountain Coffee can maintain today's top status, but also closely related to the local business policy. In order to ensure the good quality of Blue Mountain Coffee, the local government strictly implements the boutique strategy of "better lack than abuse". Jamaica is one of the countries with low coffee production in the world at present. Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, produces 30 million bags of coffee a year, while Blue Mountain produces only about 40, 000 bags a year. Of these, about 85% of the blue mountain coffee is monopolized by the Japanese, and most of the rest is bought as collectibles around the world, and only a few people can enjoy the real blue mountain coffee. Although the price of Blue Mountain coffee is more than 100 times higher than that of ordinary coffee, blue mountain coffee is always in short supply.
