How does Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee taste? Is the price of the front street Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee expensive? What are the coffee producing areas in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica?

Jamaican coffee beans have a long history. In 1728, the then British Governor Nicholas Lowe Sir Nicholas Lawes imported coffee from French Martinique Island to Jamaica. Because the local climate was very suitable for growing coffee beans, Jamaica exported 83000 pounds of high-quality coffee nine years after its introduction. R.S.W Blue Mountain Coffee is composed of three local coffee estates Resource, Sherwood Forest, and Whitfield Hall in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica. It is the most stable and best quality of Blue Mountain Coffee. Each manor has a history of more than 1800 years. The owner of the Blue Mountain Coffee worked together to create a legend of barreled Blue Mountain Manor brand coffee a few years later. R.S.W only deals with coffee produced by its own manor group and will never buy beans from other estates. They mainly use the Sherwood Coffee processing Plant (built before 1800) as their exclusive processing plant, where coffee cherries from the three estates are sent for processing, and the freshly harvested coffee cherries are placed in a humidity-controlled storeroom, with great care in every detail of the process, so that they can provide buyers with the best Blue Mountain coffee.

The Blue Mountain Coffee producing area is located in the east of Jamaica. Only those growing in this area at an altitude of 3000 feet to 5500 feet are authentic [Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee] (Jamaica Blue Mountain), while others growing at an altitude of 1500 to 3000 feet can only be called [Jamaican Alpine Coffee] (Jamaica High Mountain). Coffee grown below 1500 feet above sea level is [Jamaica's preferred coffee beans] (Jamaica Supreme) or [Jamaican low-altitude coffee beans] (Jamaica Low Mountain). Coffee is not allowed in conservation forests above 5500 feet.

The serious efforts made by the Government of Jamaica were mainly to increase coffee production and to build a central coffee processing plant to facilitate coffee treatment and raw bean grading, which did improve the quality but not very successfully. Canada, the largest buyer of Jamaican coffee in 1943, still could not accept this quality. In 1944, the Jamaican government set up a central coffee [water] treatment plant, where all coffee to be exported had to be processed and graded. The Jamaican Coffee Authority was established in June 1950 and the state is officially responsible for the quality of coffee beans for export. There are currently five government-certified 100% Blue Mountain Coffee processing plants: Wallenford,Mavis Bank,Old Tavern Old Inn, Silver Hill,Moy Hall.

Blue Mountain Coffee is a high-quality Caribbean coffee, which, like other countries, has been damaged by natural hurricanes. I have seen too many damaged bean cups and the taste of kale. Prices are always affected or even unmarketable in years hit by hurricanes. In addition, the hot and humid environment of island countries often makes coffee moth-eaten or white spots, and coffee beans with real zero defects are always rare. In addition, the Japanese purchase of 70% of the Blue Mountain Coffee makes the price high. The real high-altitude 100% pure Blue Mountain coffee is produced by the Jamaican national processing plant. The coffee is packed in a special barrel and there is a certificate on each barrel.

Qianjie recommended cooking:

Filter cup: KONO filter cup

Water temperature: 88 degrees

Degree of grinding: small Fuji degree of grinding 4

Cooking method: the ratio of water to flour is 1:14, 17g powder, 25g water for the first time, steaming for 30s, and 238g water for the second time. The extraction time is about 2:30 seconds.

Analysis: there are not many ribs at the bottom of the Kono cup, and the filter paper clings to the filter cup to achieve the purpose of limiting air flow, which can make water and coffee powder have longer contact soaking time in the filter cup and ensure the extraction time and extraction rate of rough grinding. In this way, the coffee powder can be fully extracted, enhance the mellow taste and make the taste more concentrated.

Flavor: well balanced, clean, thick and solid on the palate, with a long dark chocolate finish.
