What exactly is "Green Mountain Coffee"? -

In fact, there is no comparison between "Green Mountain Coffee" and "Blue Mountain Coffee", because "Green Mountain Coffee" is a coffee brand in the United States, while "Blue Mountain Coffee" refers to some of the boutique coffee produced in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica.

Green Mountain Coffee, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Vermont, has been listed on Nasdaq's global select market since September 1993 and was acquired by a German consortium for $13.9 billion in December last year.

-not all coffee from Blue Mountain is called Blue Mountain Coffee.

Compared with Green Mountain Coffee, which is similar to fast food culture, Blue Mountain Coffee from the Caribbean island nation of Jamaica can be called the top product in the coffee world.

The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, with the highest peak of 2256 meters above sea level. It is located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, foggy and rainy weather. This climate has created a perfect balance of sweet, sour and bitter flavors and fragrant top blue mountain coffee.

Not all coffee produced in the Blue Mountain area can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. Only coffee produced in areas above 900 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. Coffee beans grown at low altitudes and other areas can only be called Jamaican mountain beans or Jamaican water-washed beans, which are very different in flavor from Blue Mountain coffee.

The reason why Blue Mountain Coffee is precious, in addition to the origin, but also related to the technology. Most of the coffee trees of Blue Mountain Coffee grow on rugged hillsides and need experienced workers to pick them by hand, which is very difficult. After washing, peeling, fermentation, dehydration, drying, shelling, baking and other processes should also follow strict standards. Real Blue Mountain coffee produces very little, averaging only 400-5 million pounds a year, 80 per cent of which is sold to Japan. A bag of 250 grams of blue mountain coffee beans costs about 700 yuan in China.
