The hometown of Blue Mountain Coffee
Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee is world-famous, driving from Kingston along the winding mountain road to Strawberry Villa, a famous scenic spot in the Blue Mountains. Enjoying the mountain scenery in front of me and the sea view in the distance, it is very pleasant to have a cup of authentic Blue Mountain coffee. Blue Mountain Coffee has a mellow taste, moderate acidity, sweetness and bitterness, and has an attractive elegance, which is really different from other varieties of coffee.
The area of Jamaica is small, northeast of the capital Kingston is the Blue Mountains. Most of the peaks of the Blue Mountains are more than 1800 meters above sea level, and the famous Blue Mountain Coffee grows in this mountain area. It is reported that Jamaican coffee was introduced by a French naval officer from a nearby area in 1723, but the cultivation of this crop did not attract enough attention at first. Blue Mountain Coffee came to prominence in 1932 when the Jamaican authorities adopted an important decision to encourage coffee cultivation to reduce dependence on sugar exports.
The unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee is related to its geographical location and climatic conditions. 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. Because of its superior geographical and climatic conditions, Blue Mountain Coffee is superior to others in taste and aroma.
