Why is Blue Mountain coffee so expensive?

There are a lot of Blue Mountain Coffee on the market. Are they all of the same flavor? Qianjie tells you that there are a lot of blue mountain coffee on the market, but not all of them belong to Jamaican blue mountain coffee, because the production of real blue mountain coffee is limited. Real blue mountain coffee is one of the most favorable growing conditions in the world, which requires weather, geological structure and topography to provide a unique ideal place. The planting environment, variety, yield, strict picking requirements, large granules and high quality of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee have led to the high price of Blue Mountain Coffee, that is to say, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee deserves this price.

Planting altitude everyone knows that coffee beans grown at high elevations will be of better quality, while Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee has a peak of 2256 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. Qianjie tells you a very interesting thing, that is, the name of the Blue Mountains is also very interesting: the Blue Mountains are located in the east of the island of Canada (Jamaica), hence the name because the mountain is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, when the sun shines directly on the blue sea on sunny days, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea. It is located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round, and it is precisely because of this climate that it has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. It also makes coffee with the highest price in the world.

The picking process of Blue Mountain Coffee is very difficult, the coffee tree is on the rugged hillside, because the mountain is very uneven, and the coffee harvester is almost entirely local women, non-local skilled female workers are not competent at all. There are also very strict requirements for picking coffee beans, picking the right mature coffee beans, immature or fully ripe will affect the quality of coffee.

Jamaican Blue Mountain No. 1 Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee and Alpine Coffee are each divided into four grades. From top to bottom in terms of quality, NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and PB,PB are round beans.

Variety

The coffee beans in the world are mainly divided into Arabica, Robusta and Liberica. The Blue Mountain Coffee introduced by Qianjie Coffee is the oldest Arabica subspecies with bronzed leaves, oval or thin shape, tall trees and slightly inclined branches, which are called red top coffee. Coffee tree opposite leaves are long oval, smooth leaves, the end of the branch is very long, few branches, and the flowers are white, open at the base of the petiole connecting the branch. The flavor is elegant, but the physique is weak, the disease resistance is poor, the coffee yield of each tree is very low and the fruit yield is low. The ripe coffee fruit looks like a cherry and is bright red. However, because Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is weak in disease resistance, low yield and vulnerable to insects, this is also one of the reasons why Blue Mountain coffee is expensive.

The Jamaican Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee sold on Front Street Coffee has a certificate issued by the Jamaican Coffee Bureau. In addition, the wooden bucket packing Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans will have the logo of a green frog. This is that Front Street Coffee specially chose the rainforest certified production of Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1 Coffee Farm, that is, Clifton Farm, and Jamaica is the only producing area that uses buckets for raw beans. There is also the most iconic Blue Mountain flavor, the real Blue Mountain is very rich in aroma, balanced taste, there will not be any kind of taste prominent or lack of feeling. The price of authentic Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee in Jamaica will be higher than that of other coffee. Qianjie Coffee believes that there are three main reasons: small quantity, good flavor and strict quality control, so it has created the highest price coffee in the world.
