The Blue Mountains are located in Jamaica in Central America. Jamaica is an island island surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. When the weather is clear, as long as the sun shines directly on the blue sea, the blue mountain peaks reflect the blue light of the sea, so it is known as the "Blue Mountain".

The highest peak of the Jamaica Blue Mountains is 2256 meters above sea level, which is the highest in the Caribbean. Here is located in the coffee zone, with fertile and nutritious volcanic soil, the air is quite fresh, the climate is humid, clouds are shrouded all the year round and the rainfall is appropriate.

In such a climate environment has created the world-famous Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee. Coffee trees in the Jamaican Blue Mountains grow on rugged slopes, so it is very difficult to pick by hand. Non-local skilled workers are simply not qualified for this job. Jamaica Blue Mountain caffeine quality growth environment, very little production, time-consuming, resulting in the high price of Blue Mountain coffee.

The real Blue Mountain Coffee is 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.

Of course, coffee beans are similar to other species, and there is a difference between good and bad, even in the Jamaican Blue Mountains.

The so-called "Blue Mountain matching" actually has nothing to do with Blue Mountain. The reason for this is that the early Blue Mountain coffee is rare and expensive, and the operator uses mixed beans and deep roasting to make coffee close to the blue mountain taste according to the blue mountain flavor. therefore, conscientious merchants in domestic and foreign markets will tell customers that this is a comprehensive blue mountain, blue mountain flavor, blue mountain style coffee beans, not real blue mountain coffee. The real Blue Mountain and Blue Mountain flavor are two different concepts, which are generally roasted with other beans to mimic the similar taste of Blue Mountain coffee. The beans of "Blue Mountain matching" are mixed, have a big difference in shape and are easier to identify. Also do not believe in dozens of yuan a pound of "the best blue mountain", more than 30 yuan a cup of "blue mountain coffee."

So Qianjie Coffee suggests that if you see "Blue Mountain matching" at ordinary times, please wake up with 12 points. If you see the real Blue Mountain, observe carefully whether it is packed in a barrel, because among so many producing countries, only Jamaica Blue Mountain can transport beans in wooden barrels! Not all the blue mountains are really blue mountains. I hope they can help you identify them.
