What is Blue Mountain Coffee?

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the most famous island coffee in the world. It is grown in the Blue Mountain Mountains of eastern Jamaica at an altitude of 900-1700m. Although the highest elevation of the Lanshan Mountains is 2256m, more than 1700m is a natural ecological reserve and can not be planted with cash crops such as coffee.

Therefore, Blue Mountain Coffee does not have the advantage of high altitude in planting, so it does not have the pleasant and bright acidity of Central American high-altitude coffee. Mild and low acid is its characteristic.

Blue Mountain Coffee Variety-- Typica

The variety of tin card now grown in the Blue Mountains was painstakingly escorted by French naval officers to the Caribbean island of Martinique in 1720, and then in 1725 the British Governor of Jamaica transplanted 7000 tin card seedlings from Martinique to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. After more than 200 years of evolution, these tin card varieties have formed excellent disease resistance, especially better than ordinary iron pickups in resistance to rotten fruit disease, so it can be seen in the coffee variety family tree that Blue Mountain Iron Card has been separated separately.

Although Blue Mountain Iron pickup has a balanced coffee flavor, when these Blue Mountain Iron pickups are grown outside of Jamaica / planted at low elevations, the flavor is still not perfect, especially the long tail charm of the iron pickup species. it can only be played incisively and vividly when growing in the high altitude areas of the Blue Mountains of Jamaica.
