Is Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee beans a boutique coffee? Introduction to the characteristics and Flavor of the Blue Mountain Coffee producing area in Jamaica

When it comes to Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, the most famous farm is Wallenford Estate. Here we introduce to coffee fans another more advanced old inn farm (Old Tavern Estate). The 68-year-old owner Alex Twyman was born in London and moved to Jamaica in the ○'S. at that time, he could not even distinguish between coffee trees and orange trees. after years of painstaking research, he engaged in coffee cultivation in 1969. Now it has become the top farm of Blue Mountain Coffee.

Trieman pointed out that the old inn farm is located on the rainy, humid and foggy north slope of the Blue Mountains, with thicker clouds and low temperature, but it will not frost, so the coffee fruit grows slowly. After the coffee tree blossoms and bears fruit, the green fruit turns into red ripe fruit, which takes about ten months, that is to say, the ripening period is four to five months longer than that of coffee from general producing areas, so the sugar content of coffee beans is developed enough. No wonder Old Tavern Estate's coffee tastes sweet. In addition, Tryman's coffee has a special aroma, some people say it is the fragrance of wood, also known as nutty. The variety of Blue Mountain Coffee belongs to Arabica Typica. Because of its special planting environment, its flavor is different from that of the same kind of coffee.

Tryman looked at the 130-acre coffee field and said confidently, "my gourmet coffee is best for after-dinner. It tastes better with a cigar." Never use it as a refreshing drink after getting up. The coffee on this farm is not used to supplement caffeine. Treyman also uses Yu Yin planting method, using less chemical fertilizers and insecticides as far as possible. although he does not have much production capacity, he enjoys an excellent niche in the market, with a price of more than US $50 per pound, which is twice as expensive as the average Blue Mountain coffee. The old inn farm produces only 40, 000 pounds of coffee a year, which is less than 2% of the total production capacity of Blue Mountain Coffee, which is negligible compared with 14 billion pounds of coffee produced worldwide every year, but Old Tavern Blue Mountain Coffee Estate has a long-standing reputation.

Treyman is also a celebrity in the blue mountain coffee industry. In the early days, the Jamaican government used the Coffee Industry Bureau (Coffee Industry Board) to co-ordinate the production lines of the upper, middle and lower reaches of Blue Mountain coffee. Small farmers had to sell coffee fruits to the bureau for centralized treatment, but Cui Man thought that the soil and water and height of different farms were different, and the quality of raw beans was also different. Mixing the raw beans of the good and the bad could easily lead to Bad money drives out good's bad fruit. So he stood up to defend his coffee beans, refused to hand them over to the authorities, and fought for the right to "grow and sell them". This incident alarmed the International Monetary Fund and put pressure on the Jamaican government to adopt a more open coffee policy in 1983. As part of the economic reform, the Jamaican coffee public sale policy began to be loosened. By 1997, two farms had been approved to arrange the whole process of planting, washing and baking. Old Tavern Estate is one of them, and the other is RSW Estate. Tryman's reputation spread like wildfire. "I can finally control all the processes and provide good coffee of the same quality," he said. "

Treyman also sells cooked beans through the Internet, but he refuses to sell powdered coffee to avoid stale.
