Everything needs innovation, after all, Blue Mountain is a coffee producing area, and Rose Summer is a variety of coffee, it can not be said that Blue Mountain Rose Summer Coffee Bean must be one of them.

Blue Mountain Coffee planting area

The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of Jamaica, 1000-1700m above sea level. Only the Blue Mountains planted in this area are authentic Blue Mountain Coffee. Because the mountain is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, whenever the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the mountain peak reflects the bright blue light of the sea, hence its name. Blue Mountain is located in the coffee growing 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 about 27 degrees). This climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

Here people use a mixed planting method to grow coffee trees next to banana trees and avocado trees on terraces. At the same time, the mountain is rugged (coffee trees are all planted on rugged slopes), and the picking process is so difficult that non-local skilled female workers are simply unable to do it. It is also important to choose ripe coffee beans that are just right when picking. Immaturity or ripeness will affect the quality of coffee.

Clifton Manor (Clifton Mount)

All the Blue Mountain Coffee currently on the shelves on Qianjie Coffee comes from Clifton Manor, which began to grow and produce coffee as early as the mid-18th century (around 1750). The coffee planting and processing area here falls at an average of 4300 feet (1310.64 meters), with sufficient altitude, mild afternoon cloud shade, adequate sunshine and mineral-rich planting soil to provide good growth conditions for coffee plants. it also prolongs the ripening of coffee fruit.

Clifton Manor is also the only rainforest certified in the Blue Mountain growing area. Rainforest certification refers to the use of traditional farming methods cultivated in the shade of primary forests, which are beneficial to the protection of ecosystems. Some of the proceeds from the alliance are also used for the protection of wildlife in tropical rainforest animal reserves and the improvement of workers' living standards.

The traditional blue mountain coffee variety is the iron pickup: the blue mountain iron pickup was transplanted from Martinique to the blue mountains of Jamaica in the 1820s. After more than 200 years, the blue mountain iron pickup has evolved better disease resistance, especially the resistance to rotten fruit disease is better than the general iron pickup. However, the Blue Mountain Ironhide Card cannot replicate its sweet and fragrant characteristics when it steps out of Jamaica. The Blue Mountain Rose Summer Coffee is Rose Summer Coffee beans: from Ethiopia to Kenya to Uganda to Tanzania to Costa Rica to Panama, until 2004, when the owner of the Emerald Manor discovered Rose Summer and took it to the competition to become famous overnight. Rose Summer Coffee beans are thin and long, and the flavor is fresh and pleasant.

Rose summer coffee beans have to be planted at high elevations in order to form a rich and charming flower fragrance. For example, the average altitude of planting rose summer in Feicui Manor is more than 1500m, while that in the blue mountain coffee producing area is only 1310m. Through the cup test of blue mountain rose coffee beans in the front street, it is found that the fragrance of blue mountain rose is not obvious, and only when you taste it carefully can you feel the slight fragrance of jasmine.

Coffee bean washing method

The Blue Mountain Rose Summer Coffee and traditional Blue Mountain Coffee from Qianjie Coffee use the water washing treatment that Jamaica is good at, first remove the peel and pulp and let it ferment for 18 hours, then put the fermented beans into the pool and pass them back and forth, using the friction of beans and the power of running water to wash the coffee beans until smooth and clean. After washing, at this time, the coffee beans are still wrapped in the pericarp with a moisture content of 50%. They must be dried to reduce the moisture content to 12-14%, otherwise they will continue to be mellow, moldy and rotten. After that, the coffee beans are screened and stored in a special warehouse.
