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. After that, the drying process 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.

There are three major coffee companies in Jamaica, namely Wallenford, Mavis Bank and Coffee Traders Limited, which is dominated by the Richard and Jason Sharp brothers.

Blue Mountain is a hillside in Jamaica. The altitude is low and the soil is not fertile. It used to be mainly exported to England. Since the Japanese economy took off in the 1980s, Blue Mountain Coffee, which tastes supple and elegant, has low acidity and resembles coffee sugar, has been gradually monopolized. As can be seen from the website of the Ministry of Agriculture of Jamaica, the country's coffee exports are regulated by the government, and suppliers and roasters are required to apply for certification. Blue Mountain Coffee is valuable, not the outstanding taste, but the rigorous screening of defects. Each batch of coffee must be tested and approved before export. But you know what? Producing countries with better geographical environment have introduced cup testing system to control quality, and the selling point of Jamaica is no longer.
