Brief introduction of Qianjie Iron pickup and Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

The iron card species is one of the oldest Arabica tree species and has derived many other variants. The Ironpika bean is slender, the tree is tall, the fruit is oval, and the branches are slightly inclined. The four iron pickups are slender and open, tilting at an angle of 50 to 70 degrees. The coffee yield of each tree is very low, but the cup test score is very high. Formerly known as Arabica Iron pickup, the Scottish regiment brought the tree to Kenya from Yemen and planted it with bronze leaves. The Hawaiian tin card was introduced from Guatemala and renamed Kona with a brass leaf tip.

Due to geographical reasons, the iron pickups grown on other coffee belts in the world are different, so they have become variants of iron pickups, such as Blue Mountain Coffee, Java Iron pickup, Guatemala Iron pickup, and so on. The leaf tips of all Irontruck species should be dark. Iron pickup is the first coffee variety grown in the new world.

Jamaica is one of the island countries in the Caribbean, and the Blue Mountains is the longest mountain on the island. You can walk along a sightseeing path to the highest peak, and you can see the north and south coast. This is a beautiful place, warm and humid, perfect for growing Arabica coffee beans.

Blue Mountain Coffee, a coffee beauty with all its advantages, is produced in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, a tropical island in the Caribbean Sea. The Blue Mountains are located in eastern Jamaica, hence the name because the mountain is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea.

The highest peak of the Blue Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. It has fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round, which has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

There is fertile volcanic soil, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the temperature at night is very low, and coffee trees grow slowly and can absorb sufficient nutrients from the soil. Every afternoon, clouds cover the top of the mountain, preventing the coffee trees from being exposed to the sun. Such superior planting conditions can only be said to be a gift from God.

As mentioned earlier, it is not enough to have good planting conditions, but also requires a serious and positive attitude of the local people. The Jamaican government also attaches great importance to the coffee industry.

Jamaica is one of the countries with low coffee production in the world. Compared with Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, it produces 30 million bags (60 kg each) of coffee a year, while Blue Mountain coffee produces only about 40, 000 bags a year, taking the luxury route. In addition, the government has set strict and detailed standards for the processing, roasting and packaging of Blue Mountain Coffee, including what organic fertilizers are needed during the growth period. All are harvested manually at harvest time. Jamaica is also the last country to still transport coffee in traditional wooden barrels.
