Maybe people who don't drink coffee very much must know that there is a very good coffee, but they have never drunk it. Most of this kind of situation is known through population transmission, and we hear its voice before we see its beans.

This coffee is the world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee.

I summarize the following reasons why Blue Mountain Coffee is famous: good taste, excellent planting environment, low output, in short supply, strict quality control, marketing means.

Blue Mountain Coffee

At the end of the 19th century, the problem of poor quality of coffee frequently appeared, and the Government of Jamaica issued a decree hoping to improve the quality by educating producers about coffee cultivation, while upgrading the domestic infrastructure to enable coffee to be centrally processed and graded.

Since the establishment of the Central Coffee Coffee Clearing House in 1944 and the Jamaica Coffee Council in 1950, coffee from the Blue Mountains has grown in popularity and is regarded as one of the highest quality coffee in the world. However, there were few well-processed coffee at that time, and today Jamaican coffee cannot compete with the best coffee from Central, South America and East Africa.

Blue Mountain Coffee is very important to the Jamaican economy and the coffee itself needs to be inspected and certified by the Coffee Committee before it can be marked as the Blue Mountain name.

Traditionally, only coffee grown between 910m (3000 ft) and 1700 m (5500 ft) above sea level can be called the Jamaican Blue Mountains. Coffee grown between 460m (1500 ft) and 910m (3000 ft) above sea level is called Jamaican high mountain, while coffee grown below 460m (1500 ft) is called Jamaican supreme or Jamaican low mountain.

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."

Blue Mountains, Australia Blue Mountain National Park, World Heritage site, located about 60 kilometers west of Sydney, eucalyptus, native to Australia, is an evergreen tree with a tall and straight trunk, hard wood and rich in oil. its leaves are the only food for Australia's national treasure koalas.

Eucalyptus leaves rich in oil will volatilize oily vapor, interact with oxygen in the air, and show a light blue by the refraction of the sun. In the sun, eucalyptus trees are all over the mountains, so they are shrouded in blue trees, hence the name Blue Mountain.

Australia's Blue Mountain does not produce coffee, and it has nothing to do with Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee except for the same name.
