Introduction to Qianjie-Blue Mountain Coffee

Jamaica, the origin of Blue Mountain Coffee, gets its name from the Blue Mountains surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Sour, sweet, bitter taste are very harmonious and have excellent flavor and aroma, suitable for individual coffee, suitable for moderate roasting. Blue Mountain Coffee is the most superior coffee in the world, and the weather, geological structure and topography of Jamaica provide an ideal place. It should be noted that 99.9% of the blue mountains that can be drunk in China are only planted near the blue mountains, and only coffee produced in the 6000 hectares above 1600 meters above sea level can be called blue mountains.

Coffee in Jamaica can be divided into two categories: coffee grown in the Blue Mountains in the eastern part of the island and coffee grown outside the Blue Mountains. The former accounts for about 25% of the output, which is the real blue mountain coffee, while the latter accounts for about 75%, which can only be called Jamaican washed coffee beans and so on.

The producing area of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is strictly limited to 910-1700m above sea level in Jamaica Blue Mountain area. Strictly speaking, the coffee grown at 910-1700m is called Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee; the coffee grown at 460-910m is called Blue Mountain Coffee or Jamaican Alpine Coffee; the coffee grown below 460m is called Jamaica preferred Coffee; above 1700m forest reserve, there is no coffee growing.

Jamaica is a tiny coffee grower, accounting for only 0.02 per cent of the world market, with 85 per cent of its exports to Japan. Among them, the leading role is the Jamaican Coffee Industry Association (Coffee Industry Board, referred to as CIB), which was established in 1948 to promote the development of the Jamaican coffee industry, improve the income of coffee farmers, protect the quality of Jamaican coffee, and sell Jamaican coffee around the world. The quality of Blue Mountain Coffee can be divided into superior and ordinary grades, which are sold in wooden barrels and other grades are sold in sacks.

There is no doubt that the special climate and soil environment of high-altitude mountains directly affect the quality of coffee and contribute to the unparalleled flavor and balance of Blue Mountain Coffee. The bright and soft acidity complements the delicate and even sweetness of nuts. if you feel a slight lack of mellow thickness, please drink and close your eyes. You will find that the sweet aftertaste lingers like nectar on the tip of the tongue for a long time, with a lasting aftertaste.

Knowledge: the Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee will take samples from each batch of coffee beans, bake, grind, and brew three cups of coffee, which will be tasted by experienced experts in accordance with the steps. More than two of the three cups meet the standard before they can be awarded the certification of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
