Authentic Blue Mountain coffee comes from beans in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. Compared with beans from many other producing areas, the price will be a little bit more expensive, but not very expensive. And many on the market marked with blue mountain flavor, blue mountain flavor coffee, blue mountain flavor coffee, blue mountain blend coffee and so on, are not the real blue mountain coffee.

Blue Mountain Coffee Brand

Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean. Blue Mountain is the highest mountain on the island (2256 meters above sea level). It is located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution and humid climate. the climate of foggy and rainy all the year round (the average precipitation is 1980 mm and the temperature is about 27 degrees) has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

Although the owner has a high altitude of more than 2000 meters, the area above 1700m is a nature reserve, so Blue Mountain Coffee will be planted in the area of 910m-1700m. The authentic Blue Mountain Coffee area certified by the Jamaica Coffee Authority has four districts: St. Andrew, St. Thomas, St. Mary, Portland.

In these areas, there are many coffee farms / farms, large and small. At present, Clifton Hill Manor, the best coffee plantation in the Blue Mountains, is the ancient coffee producer that is still functioning in Jamaica, and only Clifton Farm in Jamaica has "Tropical Rain Forest" certification.

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 of 1310.64 meters, with sufficient altitude, mild clouds in the afternoon, sufficient sunshine and mineral-rich planting soil to provide good growth conditions for coffee trees and prolong the ripening of coffee fruits.

The Blue Mountain No.1 coffee beans currently sold on Qianjie Coffee come from Clifton Manor. Will choose to sell Blue Mountain Coffee, because Blue Mountain Coffee has a sense of balance that coffee beans in other producing areas do not have. It is a good coffee with mellow flavor and a good balance between sweet and sour.

Is Blue Mountain Coffee bitter?

As long as the Blue Mountain Coffee is reasonably roasted and extracted, the taste is mellow, clean, balanced, bitter but has a very good taste. Everyone has a different definition of bitterness, as long as it is not bitter / bitter, it is normal for medium and deep roasted coffee beans to feel bitter and sweet.

In order to highlight that Blue Mountain Coffee is a balanced nut tone of sweet, sour and bitter, and to restore the more classic Blue Mountain flavor, Qianjie chose several moderate and deep baking curves. Through cup test and comparison, it is found that chocolate is sweeter when roasted in medium depth. It can also retain a slight acidity and improve the overall level of the coffee.

The deeper the roasting degree of coffee beans is, the faster the dissolution rate of coffee substances is. In order to avoid over-extraction, Qianjie uses a lower water temperature for extraction, and a Kono filter cup with lower flow rate is also used to ensure that coffee substances are extracted as much as possible under low water temperature conditions.

The following are the extraction parameters and brewing (water injection) methods of Qianjie coffee shop: Kono filter cup, 88C water temperature, powder-water ratio at 1:15, 15g powder weight, grindness (standard sieve 20 pass rate 70-75%).

Three-stage water injection technique steps: use 30g water steaming, the steaming time is 30s, the first small flow circle water injection to 125g cut off water, when the liquid level is about to expose the powder layer, continue the second stage water injection, water injection to the end of 225g extraction, the total extraction time (including steaming) is 230g 39% 00.
