[blue Mountain Coffee]

Blue Mountain Coffee is precious because it has both a good congenital pedigree and an excellent environment. From seed selection, planting, harvest, processing and grading to packaging and export, Blue Mountain Coffee can be said to be a model student in coffee.

Blue Mountain Coffee is the best coffee in the world. The Blue Mountains are located in eastern Jamaica, hence the name because the mountain is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea.

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, this climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee as well as the highest price in the world. no, no, no.

Blue Mountain 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.

The secret of Blue Mountain Coffee

The "secret" of why Blue Mountain coffee tastes pure: their coffee trees are all on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is so difficult that non-local skilled women are simply unable to do it. It is very important to choose the right ripe coffee beans when picking. Immaturity or ripeness will affect the quality of the coffee. The picked coffee beans are shelled on the same day, and then let them ferment for 18 hours. After that, the coffee beans were cleaned and screened. The subsequent process is to dry, which must be carried out on the cement floor or on a thick blanket until the humidity of the coffee beans drops to 12% 14%. And then store it in a special warehouse. Take it out and roast when needed, then grind it into powder. These procedures must be strictly mastered, otherwise, the quality of coffee will be affected.

The shade trees planted around the coffee are also a major feature of Blue Mountain Coffee. Shade trees are usually banana trees or native Jamaican Ackee fruit trees, which protect coffee trees from the hot sun and have the function of soil and water conservation. Taking care of coffee trees requires considerable patience and care, regular pruning, removal of old stems to facilitate the growth of new branches, frequent inspection of fruit growth, and removal of stunted ones at any time, so as not to waste nutrients.

The harvest of Blue Mountain Coffee is all manual, and workers have to travel among the trees on the slope to pick the ripe coffee cherries one by one. As the ripening rate of coffee cherry fruits on the same tree is sometimes fast and some slow, it is often divided into dozens of times before all the coffee can be harvested, and the whole process is very hard.

The harvested fruit must first be screened by bleaching, and then the peel and mucous membrane of the fruit must be removed by washing, exposing the coffee beans inside, and sent to the processing plant for centralized processing. In the coffee ripening season, the wet beans (called wet punchment) after washing are spread all over the square next to the processing plant and are baptized by daylight.

Until the coffee beans are dried, strict manual selection and machine classification are carried out, and finally packaged and exported. Blue Mountain Coffee is also a major feature of hand-made wooden barrel packaging instead of general sack packaging.

All exported Blue Mountain Coffee must be carefully examined by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority (Coffee Industry Board). Only by passing the Cupping Test (tasting test) of coffee by professional quality control personnel can we enter the world market.
