Qianjie-introduction to Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

The Blue Mountain of Jamaica is a model of typica.

At present, thousands of Arabica coffee varieties have been found or propagated through artificial intervention in the world. Iron pickup is one of the most famous varieties of Arabica coffee. Many world famous coffee is made of iron pickup, except for the Blue Mountains. Hawaiian Kona, Papua New Guinea, Turtle Island Coffee.

Iron pickup is the oldest variety originated in Ethiopia, except for the native species of Ethiopia, the iron card beans from other regions are relatively large in shape, pointed oval, straight in the middle and symmetrical in the middle. Washed raw beans have obvious aroma of raw fruit or grass, elegant and balanced flavor after baking, but weak disease resistance, low yield, vulnerable to insect pests, so the price is expensive.

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. In addition, so far, Lanshan Coffee raw beans are treated only by water washing, and there are no sun and other treatments.

At present, the market price of Lanshan raw beans is about 800yuan per kilogram, and about 830g of ripe beans can be produced per kilogram. With the gross profit margin of bakers, more than 1300 yuan per kilogram of ripe beans should be normal. Below this price, it is almost impossible.

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.
