Introduction to Qianjie-Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee comes from Jamaica, an island country in the Caribbean. King Louis XV of France shipped three coffee crops to the French colony of Martinique in 1723. Martinique is a lush and fertile island 1900 kilometers southwest of Jamaica. In 1728, the Governor of Jamaica, Sir Nicholas Rawls, received a coffee crop as a gift from Martinique. Since then, coffee has grown in Jamaica. It became the world's largest coffee producer between 1800 and 1840.

In Jamaica, only what is called Blue Mountain Coffee is really high-quality coffee, and it is real Blue Mountain Coffee. The real Blue Mountain is located between Kingston, Maria Port and Antonio Port, and its highest elevation is about 2350 meters. Blue Mountain Coffee is a derivative of iron pickup, so it inherits the excellent flavor characteristics of iron pickup.

The reason for the good quality of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee 1: high quality assurance in the handling of coffee berries: coffee berries are processed on the same day of harvest; after a series of treatments to about 11.5% of the water content; stored for 8 weeks under controlled storage conditions; hand-selected coffee beans to ensure high quality.

The reason for the good quality of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee 2: blue Mountain Coffee is planted at an altitude of 3000 to 5500 feet; the annual production of real Blue Mountain Coffee is only 400 to 5 million pounds, which is quite small, compared with 13 million pounds in Panama; Blue Mountain Coffee has a florescence of 10 months; Blue Mountain Coffee is grown on steep slopes close to 70 degrees, and picking requires a lot of labor for manual picking. There is also a manual selection before export, so that only 85% of the Blue Mountain coffee can be exported; three very professional cup testers test the cup and evaluate the quality of the coffee.

According to the different grades of coffee produced at different elevations in the Blue Mountains, authentic Blue Mountain coffee must be made from beans growing at an altitude of 910-1700m. Coffee grown at an altitude of 460-910m is called Jamaican Alpine Coffee. Coffee grown below 460m is called Jamaican preferred Coffee.
