What grade does Blue Mountain Coffee beans belong to? introduction to the hand-made taste of Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1 Coffee

"is Blue Mountain Coffee the highest grade coffee bean?" I believe that most of my friends know coffee from the beginning of hearing Blue Mountain Coffee. Although Blue Mountain Coffee is very famous, Blue Mountain Coffee is not the most expensive in terms of price, nor is it the most exquisite in terms of flavor. But the balanced flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee makes him a "grandmaster" who defines good coffee.

As the family of the code clerk is also a coffee fan, since the code clerk can remember, the daily drink that the family talked about most can not be separated from coffee, and the word Blue Mountain Coffee also appears most frequently. Whenever they taste a kind of coffee, they will habitually use Blue Mountain Coffee to measure and compare the flavor of the new coffee. It can also be seen from here that Blue Mountain Coffee has a different status in the hearts of the older generation of coffee, or in the era when coffee was not widely accepted by Chinese people, Blue Mountain Coffee was the best coffee at that time.

When the code clerk first came into contact with coffee, he was also fascinated by the aroma of Blue Mountain coffee. More than 20 years ago, there were not many places to drink coffee in Guangzhou. at that time, when I was young, I went with my family to the coffee shop of a more famous hotel in Guangzhou and watched the barista brew blue mountain coffee through flannel. The aroma can still be recalled. Because I was too young, I didn't really taste the cup of coffee, but I also tasted a small spoonful. In the impression of children in Guangdong, the black liquid can be associated with herbal tea and think it will be a very bitter liquid, but in fact, that spoonful of coffee fascinates me! There is no bitter taste of herbal tea that can not be dispelled for a long time. Blue Mountain Coffee will show a strong taste after it is imported. Although it is very strong, it will not have a bitter taste, and it will be very fragrant and mellow.

The taste of this mellow coffee was never drunk by the code clerk for more than a decade, until I drank the blue mountain No. 1 coffee bean of Qianjie coffee! In an instant, it relieved the mind that had always been in my mind. The Blue Mountain coffee beans on the front street come from Clifton Manor in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, which is the oldest coffee farm in the Blue Mountains.

Clifton Farm 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 elevation of 1310.64 meters. Adequate altitude, mild afternoon cloud shade around the mountain forest, sufficient sunshine and mineral-rich planting soil provide good growth conditions for coffee trees and prolong the ripening of coffee fruits.

With a history of more than 200 years of coffee cultivation, the estate has become an ancient coffee producing area that is still functioning in Jamaica, and it is the only coffee farm certified by the Rainforest Alliance in Jamaica. The purpose of the certification is to protect the ecological environment, to ensure the sustainable development of agriculture, to develop and produce safe and high-quality tea, and to enhance market competitiveness, which is of great significance to increase export earnings and the income of tea farmers and workers. At the same time, Clifton Manor is the only coffee farm with Rainforest Alliance certification.

The Tropical Rain Forest Alliance is a worldwide non-governmental organization (NGO) established in New York in 1987. Aiming at the traditional agricultural law to prevent excessive development, on the one hand, to protect the natural ecology, but also to maintain the farm life of fine farms, the Tropical Rain Forest Alliance protects the ecosystem and its dependent human beings and wildlife by changing the methods of land use, commercial behavior, and consumer behavior. And achieve the preservation of biodiversity and provide sustainable development.

There is so much blue mountain coffee on the market, how to distinguish between authentic and authentic? If you want to buy authentic Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee, you need to make sure that coffee raw beans are loaded in wooden barrels and Jamaica is the only producing area that uses wooden barrels to hold raw beans, and the Jamaican government will certify the certificate when it is exported. The Blue Mountain Coffee provided by Qianjie Coffee has a certificate issued by the Jamaican Coffee Bureau. In addition, the wooden bucket that wraps the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans will bear the logo of a green frog.

In order to reflect the mellow and balanced flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee, Qianjie Coffee roasters will use medium-deep roasting. After you place an order on Taobao, you will issue Blue Mountain coffee beans within 5 days after roasting. As the changes in the structure of coffee beans during roasting will cause a large amount of carbon dioxide in the coffee beans, which will affect the uniform extraction during the brewing process, so when you receive the coffee beans, you can drink them in a cool and dry place. The original package is sealed and kept for 5-6 days after the baking date, and then brewed after part of the carbon dioxide is discharged from the one-way exhaust valve. The flavor will be better.

In order to make Blue Mountain Coffee more mellow, Qianjie recommends using Kono filter cup for brewing. The filter cup is characterized by short ribs, when the filter paper and the filter cup are attached, it can form a semi-sealed state, which will slow down the speed of water flow and achieve the soaking effect for a period of time. Qianjie Coffee uses the following brewing parameters and techniques when producing Blue Mountain Coffee: 88C water temperature, 1:15 powder-to-water ratio, 15g powder weight, grindability (7075% pass rate of No. 20 standard sieve).

Three-stage extraction technique is adopted: the first stage injects 30 grams of water for steaming, the steaming time is 30 seconds, the second stage injects about 125 grams of water, then waits for the coffee liquid to drop, and when it falls to half, the last section of water is injected to 225 grams. Wait for all the coffee drops to lag behind before ending the extraction, the general total extraction time is about 2 minutes and 10 seconds.
