Located in the legal Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Mavis Bank is also one of the raw bean processing plants certified by the Jamaican government, about 10 miles northeast of the capital Kingston, and has been operated by the Munn Family family since 1885.

Originally the Moon family planted and processed the harvested coffee cherries on Strawberry Hill on the west side of the Blue Mountain. The present-day Mavis Bank processing plant was founded by Victor Munn in 1920 and then run by Victor's nephew, Keble Munn. Keble is not only an agricultural operator, but also the first certified cup tester in Jamaica. Mavis Bank is already the largest coffee gathering place in Jamaica, and in order to ensure coffee quality, the processing plant collects raw beans from single farms or small farmers in specific areas of the Blue Mountains. The coffee planting and processing area is located in the mountain area with an average of 1600 to 900m, with sufficient altitude, mild clouds in the afternoon, sufficient sunshine and mineral-rich planting soil to provide good growth conditions for coffee trees. it also prolongs the ripening of coffee cherries.

How can baking show the better flavor of [Jamaica Blue Mountain]?

To put it simply, the Blue Mountain is baked "thoroughly" from the inside to the outside, and on the basis of baking, a better baking technique is used to show the flavor of this bean.

Caramelization is the link that has the greatest impact on the flavor of coffee. Raw beans absorb a lot of heat after roasting for six to seven minutes.

The pyrolysis reaction was started, and the first loud sound appeared, some sugars were converted into carbon dioxide, and the water continued to evaporate.

New aromatic ingredients are gradually developed to form so-called coffee oils and combine with hundreds of aromatic substances such as nicotinic acid, citric acid, quinic acid, malic acid, acetic acid and caffeine.

Baking curve: the furnace temperature is 170 degrees Celsius, the throttle is opened for 3 minutes, the firepower is adjusted to 140 degrees, the throttle is unchanged, baking to 5 degrees Celsius, 39 percent 10 ".

The temperature is 153 degrees, the bean surface turns yellow, the smell of grass disappears completely, the dehydration is completed, the firepower is adjusted to 115 degrees, and the throttle changes 4.

In the 8th & # 39th minute, ugly wrinkles and black markings appeared on the bean surface, and the smell of toast obviously changed to coffee, which can be defined as a prelude to an explosion.

At this time, listen carefully to the sound of the explosion point, start the explosion at 8: 39, and turn down the firepower to 90 degrees.
