There will be a lot of coffee marked Blue Mountain Coffee on the market, and the real Blue Mountain Coffee refers to the Blue Mountain Coffee grown in the Blue Mountain Mountains of Jamaica. Only the Blue Mountain Coffee grown above 800m above sea level is authentic Blue Mountain Coffee. The Blue Mountain Coffee on the front street coffee bean list is 1310 meters above sea level and comes from Clifton Manor. The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, hence its name because it is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea. The highest peak of the Blue Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. Located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round (the average precipitation is 1980 mm, the temperature is around 27 degrees), this climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. It also creates the highest price coffee in the world.

Blue Mountain Coffee is the coffee bean of the iron pickup variety, which is the oldest Arabica variety. The tip of the leaf is bronzed, the bean body is oval or thin, the tree is tall, the branch is slightly inclined, and the angle is 50ml 70 degrees, which is called red top coffee. Coffee tree opposite leaves are long oval, smooth leaves, the end of the branch is very long, few branches, and the flowers are white, open at the base of the petiole connecting the branch. The flavor is elegant, but the physique is weak, the disease resistance is poor, the coffee yield of each tree is very low and the fruit yield is low. The ripe coffee fruit looks like a cherry and is bright red.

The caffeine content of Blue Mountain Coffee is very low, which is less than half of that of other coffees, which is in line with the modern concept of health. The same coffee tree species, whether planted in Hawaii, Kenya, Papua New Guinea or anywhere else with a similar climate, cannot produce the flavor of Blue Mountain coffee.

Each kind of coffee bean has its own classification, while Blue Mountain coffee beans are graded according to the altitude and the size of the coffee beans. In addition to growing in a specific area and at a specific altitude, the Jamaican authorities have adopted a more detailed grading system for Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. In 1953, Jamaica established the National Coffee Industry Agency, referred to as CIB, and adopted the coffee export grade criteria, which set quite standard regulations on the size, color, defects and flavor of raw coffee beans exported. On the basis of the defect rate of raw beans less than 3%, according to the particle size of raw beans of Blue Mountain Coffee, it is divided into: Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1 Coffee, Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 2 Coffee, Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 3 Coffee and Jamaica Blue Mountain Round Bean Coffee. Maybe it's not necessarily alpine coffee you bought.

The Jamaican Blue Mountain one Coffee of Front Street Coffee has a certificate issued by the Jamaican Coffee Bureau. In addition, the barrel that wraps the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans will have the logo of a green frog. This is the rainforest certified production of Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1 Coffee Farm, and Jamaica is the only producing area that uses wooden buckets for raw beans.

Espresso

Espresso, also known as Espresso, is a way to make espresso, a coffee that is quickly extracted under high pressure from Italy. The traditional capacity of a single espresso is about one ounce. Espresso is divided into three parts, namely, fat, main body and core.

What is the oil (Crema) in espresso? When the coffee machine extracts espresso, the coffee is ground to a very fine size and extracted under pressure up to 9bar. When the hot water passes through the coffee pressed powder, the carbon dioxide in the coffee powder is under too much pressure, and the water is supersaturated for the carbon dioxide. There is no way to release the carbon dioxide and melt directly into the coffee liquid. The high pressure also forces the oil in the coffee to detach from the coffee pressed powder and is brought out by the hot water. Espresso without that layer of fat may be considered an unsuccessful cup of coffee.

After the coffee is extracted, when the coffee liquid flows out of the coffee machine, the atmospheric pressure returns to normal, and the carbon dioxide that remains in the coffee liquid. When it was ready to return to the air, the carbon dioxide encountered the oil in the coffee liquid. The grease wraps the carbon dioxide that is ready to return to the air. So that's why this layer of grease is produced.

Therefore, espresso is characterized by small quantity, full-bodied and mellow taste.

Espresso is a way of making coffee in Italy, while Blue Mountain Coffee is a kind of coffee beans, so the two are not comparable at all. To say which tastes good, maybe we should say which is better, latte, cappuccino or Blue Mountain? Latte and cappuccino coffee are Italian coffee, while Blue Mountain coffee is black coffee, which is completely two kinds of coffee. As for which one tastes good, it depends on what you like. Latte is a kind of coffee that many people will order when they go to the coffee shop, which is coffee with milk, while Blue Mountain Coffee and Black Coffee may not be used to it. However, now people's pursuit of coffee is getting higher and higher, more is the pursuit of high-quality coffee, so drinking black coffee is the most capable product to the local flavor of local coffee.

Suggestions for making coffee in front of the street:

Any variety of coffee beans, in order to brew a good cup of coffee, we also need to pay attention to the freshness of coffee beans. Qianjie has always believed that the freshness of coffee beans has a great relationship with the flavor of coffee, so the coffee beans shipped in Qianjie coffee are roasted within 5 days. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

For those who need to be ground, Qianjie warmly reminds you that if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans, because in the process of transportation, the pressure caused by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor round. so you can drink a cup of coffee as soon as you receive the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes more quickly after contact with the air, that is to say, the flavor of the coffee will dissipate more quickly, and the flavor of the coffee is not so good. Therefore, Qianjie suggests buying whole beans, grinding and flushing now, so that we can better taste the flavor of coffee.
