Qianjie-Blue Mountain Coffee introduction

Jamaica is the only country in the world that has a government coffee regulatory agency-Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority (CIB), which belongs to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries of Jamaica. The function of CIB is planting technical guidance, processing training, fair trade, quality supervision and a series of things about the quality and brand of Jamaica Blue Mountain. The members of the board of directors of CIB are all owners of more than a certain amount of plantation estates in Jamaica (due to the transfer of industry, the newly certified Blue Mountain Manor in Jamaica requires an area of more than 50 hectares).

CIB stipulates that only the blue mountain coffee beans produced in the producing area of Jamaica Blue Mountain more than 2200 feet can be called Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee. According to the bean size, the grades are NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and hand-selected PB. Among them, the basic standard of NO.1 Blue Mountain raw beans is beans with more than 17 mesh, defect rate less than 3%, moisture content about 13%, and so on.

Another company worth mentioning is Coffee Trades, whose estate name is CLYDESDALE. The company's coffee factory is in the backyard of the CIB office building. The estate is about 1200 meters on the Blue Mountain hillside. The other two largest Blue Mountain Coffee companies in Jamaica are Wallenford and Mavis Bank, which used to be state-controlled companies. Wallenford production exceeds 60% of all Jamaican Blue Mountain production. And it is one of the few Jamaican Blue Mountain companies with three grades of coffee: Jamaican Blue Mountain, Jamaican Alpine and Jamaican Special Coffee.

What is the flavor of Blue Mountain mix?

The so-called "Blue Mountain matching" actually has nothing to do with Blue Mountain. The reason for this is that the early Blue Mountain coffee is very rare and expensive. According to the blue mountain flavor, the operator uses mixed beans and deep roasting to make coffee close to the blue mountain taste. Therefore, conscientious merchants in domestic and foreign markets will tell customers that this is a comprehensive blue mountain, blue mountain flavor, blue mountain style coffee beans, not really blue mountain coffee.

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."

Knowledge: blue Mountain Coffee raw beans are treated only by washing, not in the sun and other treatment methods.
