Qianjie-introduction to Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

Together, the weather, geological structure and topography of Jamaica provide a unique ideal place. The designated Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee can only be grown in the Blue Mountain area, north-east of the island of Jamaica in Kingston.

Coffee grows on a mountain with a maximum height of 1800 meters (almost 6000 feet), which is already quite high for small-grain coffee, and the mountains are very uneven and the process of harvesting is very difficult (coffee harvesting is almost entirely female). The tree is mainly small grain "GeishaHighBred" type.

Seeds from these trees have been exported to other countries, such as Hawaii, Kenya, Papua New Guinea and elsewhere, but they are no longer able to create the flavor of Blue Mountain coffee beans anywhere.

Jamaica is one of the small coffee-producing regions in the world, with an annual harvest of about 40000-60 kg / sack (Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is actually shipped away in 70kg barrels, and they are the last country to still use this traditional packaging method, but they produce according to 60kg/ sacks, as that is the international standard for measuring coffee production). Compare Brazil, the world's largest exporter of coffee, with an annual production of 30000000 bags to 60 kg per sack.

The Japanese have invested heavily in the blue mountain coffee breeding area of Jamaica and have won 90% of the annual production. The rest of the world must bid for the remaining 10%, or 3500 barrels. The real Blue Mountain Coffee has a unique taste, making it the most expensive coffee in the world. Its demand is very high, so some of the market is in short supply.

2 the advantaged growth conditions of Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain is located in the coffee belt, the highest peak 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean. It has fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, abundant rainfall in the Blue Mountain area, year-round fog and low temperature, and the average temperature is about 20 ℃. All these constitute a good growing environment for Blue Mountain Coffee.

Coffee grown in this natural environment has the characteristics of all good coffee, not only full-bodied and mellow, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee, it has a little high-quality sour taste, and a very slight degree of bitterness is short and does not remain in the mouth. into the throat into a slightly sweet feeling, mellow throat rhyme is more unfinished. Such a unique flavor makes it one of the "gourmet coffee".

3 the strict definition of Blue Mountain Coffee

Must be certified by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Council (CIB) of the four statutory estates centralized procurement and processing can be called Blue Mountain.

100% of the world's pure Blue Mountain Coffee refers to a specific range of Blue Mountain Coffee in eastern Jamaica, and every step in its planting and processing has been subject to stringent standards of quality management by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority. can be proved to be "pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee".

Seedling cultivation time: about 2 years

Planting method: organic planting

Harvest method: artificial harvest one grain at a time

Processing: all processing, baking and packaging processes must meet the high standards set by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority.

Typica with low quantity and good quality is the best variety of Arabica. Most coffee-producing countries are only willing to grow other varieties with high yield but poor quality, but Jamaica gives priority to quality, preferring to sacrifice the production of Blue Mountain coffee in exchange for the best quality of Blue Mountain coffee.

Knowledge: the Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee (the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board) was established by the Government of Jamaica in 1950, which sets quality standards for Jamaican coffee and oversees the implementation of quality standards to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee.
