Qianjie-introduction to Jamaica Blue Mountain

As we all know, Blue Mountain Coffee is famous all over the world. unlike other coffee, Blue Mountain Coffee has reached a perfect balance among sweet, sour and bitter tastes. It tastes completely without bitterness, but shows a moderate sour taste. Coupled with a more mellow flavor, Blue Mountain Coffee is favored by many coffee fans, is the second most expensive coffee in the world, and has a noble position in the coffee industry.

Why Blue Mountain Coffee has such a flavor? it starts from its growing environment. Generally speaking, south of the Tropic of Cancer and north of the Tropic of Cancer, this area is suitable for growing coffee, called the "coffee belt". Jamaica is just south of the Tropic of Cancer. The blue mountain is steep, the air is fresh, there is no pollution, it rains all the year round, and there is a great temperature difference between day and night, which has a unique and fertile new volcanic soil. Most importantly, every afternoon, clouds cover the whole mountain area, which not only shades the coffee trees naturally, but also brings abundant water vapor.

To become an aristocrat in coffee, it is far from enough to have high quality. The status of Blue Mountain Coffee today is also due to the local government's policy of limiting production and ensuring quality. Jamaica is not famous for Blue Mountain Coffee, regardless of the quality of mass production. But to give priority to quality, would rather sacrifice output, but also to protect the blue mountain coffee this gold-lettered signboard. Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, produces 30 million bags (60kg each) of coffee a year, while Jamaica produces just over 40, 000 bags a year.

It is understood that Blue Mountain Coffee has the difference between top Blue Mountain Coffee and Blue Mountain Coffee beans. The top Blue Mountain Coffee beans generally do not enter the circulation market, and most of them have been booked by the royal family and tycoons. The Blue Mountain Coffee beans on the market are "Blue Mountain" brand coffee beans guaranteed by the Jamaican government. Statistics from the Coffee International website show that in 2003-2004, Jamaica produced 43000 bags of coffee, of which 24000 bags were exported. Nearly 90 per cent of exports go to Japan and the rest to Europe and the US. Because the output is limited and the export volume is not large, Blue Mountain coffee has been in short supply in the international market.

As the saying goes, blue mountain coffee is expensive even in its place of origin, with a 4-ounce (114-gram) bag of blue mountain coffee selling for nearly $7 on the Jamaican market.

Knowledge: the Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica (Jamaica), hence the name because the mountain is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Whenever the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea.
