Qianjie-Blue Mountain Coffee introduction

If coffee is classified according to bean species, it can basically be divided into two categories: Arabica and Robusta. Among the two major coffee beans, Arabica beans have a low caffeine content. All the world's high-quality coffee comes from Arabica, accounting for about 70% of the world's coffee production. It is rich in flavor, with high acidity and floral aroma, most suitable for black coffee lovers without any seasoning, and can best taste the original flavor of coffee.

Typica has high sweetness, pure taste and pleasant acidity. Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is a kind of iron pickup.

Blue Mountain Coffee, produced in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee has something to do with its unique geographical location and climatic conditions. The Blue Mountains are located in the coffee belt between 25 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees south latitude, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, rainy all the year round and great temperature difference between day and night. Most importantly, every afternoon, clouds cover the top of the mountain, which not only provides natural shade for coffee trees, but also brings abundant water vapor, which makes the taste and aroma of Blue Mountain coffee outstanding.

The pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee combines the unique sour, bitter, sweet, mellow and other flavors of the coffee together to form a very strong and attractive elegant flavor, which is unmatched by other coffee. People who love Blue Mountain Coffee joke: "Blue Mountain Coffee is a 'coffee beauty' that combines all the advantages of good coffee."

Today's Blue Mountain Coffee growing area is a small place with only 6000 hectares of planting area. Scarcity is precious, and it has become one of the top coffee in the world because the annual output of coffee beans does not exceed 900 tons.

As Japan has always invested in the Jamaican coffee industry, Blue Mountain Coffee is mostly owned by the Japanese, who have the right of priority to buy Blue Mountain Coffee. It buys 90% of Blue Mountain coffee, so the rest of the world can only get the remaining 10%.

Only coffee grown in the Blue Mountain area above 1800 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. Coffee beans grown in low altitude and other areas can only be called "Jamaican mountain beans" or "Jamaican water washed beans". Compared with the Jamaican Blue Mountains, the flavor is very different, but the area of these producing areas is twice that of the real blue mountain area, and the output accounts for 75% of the country, so "Jamaican coffee" It is not equal to the pure Blue Mountain Coffee at all.
