53 coffee producing areas in the world

seven. Haiti

Despite well-known problems and fluctuating coffee quality from politically troubled lands, Haiti is still trying to produce some high-quality coffee. Most of the coffee produced in Haiti is grown in a purely natural state, which is not intentional but the result of material shortages because farmers are too poor to buy fungicides, insecticides and fertilizers. The main coffee-growing area in Haiti is in the north of the country. Compared with other countries, Haitian coffee has more brands, grades and varieties. In Japan, Haitian coffee is mixed with Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, which makes Blue Mountain Coffee more intense. Haitian coffee is full-grained, rich in flavor, medium to low acidity and mild in taste.

eight. Honduras

Overall, Honduran coffee has a good reputation and is suitable for mixed coffee. Coffee in Honduras is imported from El Salvador. Honduras produces high-acid high-quality coffee. Like other places, the coffee grade in Honduras depends on altitude: coffee grown at 700 to 1000 meters above sea level is medium, coffee grown at 1000 to 1500 meters above sea level is superior, and coffee grown at 1500 to 2000 meters above sea level is superior. After the frost in Brazil in 1975, coffee production in Honduras increased significantly, from 500000 bags to 1.8 million bags in 20 years. Coffee rust (Rust) is a great harm to coffee in the country, especially in the eastern part of the country, where rust is more serious, and drug sprays used to treat this disease have played an important role in increasing coffee production. All coffee in Honduras is exported by individual transporters, mostly to the United States and Germany.

nine. Jamaica

Is Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee the best coffee in the world? Almost everyone who has heard of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee knows that it is the most expensive coffee in the world, but not everyone knows why. Like Rolls-Royce cars and Stradivari violins (Stradivarius)

Violin), when something gains the reputation of "the best in the world", that reputation tends to make it its own identity and become an eternal myth. The best Blue Mountain Coffee is undoubtedly one of the best coffees available. Although the price can guarantee the supply of Blue Mountain coffee, it does not guarantee the best flavor of the coffee. It is also worth noting that the coffee is more expensive to drink than it looks. In order to taste its best flavor, you must put in more coffee beans than when drinking other coffee, otherwise the flavor will not live up to its name, so the real cost of reflecting the flavor is that it has to add 10% to 15% more coffee beans than the coffee whose price is second only to it. It is said that the real Blue Mountain coffee is made from the best local raw coffee beans, which is the pleasure of tasters. Its flavor is rich, balanced, fruity and sour, and can meet people's various needs. In addition, the flavor of high-quality fresh Blue Mountain coffee is particularly long-lasting, as drinkers say-endless aftertaste. It is necessary to take a closer look at the myth of Blue Mountain Coffee, because the image of the past is often inconsistent with the reality of today. In 1725, Sir Nicholas Laus (Sir

Nicholas

Lawes) brought the first Blue Mountain Coffee species from Martinique to Jamaica and grew them in the St.Andrew area. Today, St. Andrew is still one of the three major producing areas of Blue Mountain Coffee, while the other two are Portland and St..Thomas. In eight years, Jamaica exported more than 375 tons of pure coffee. In 1932, coffee production reached its peak and more than 15000 tons of coffee was harvested. But by 1948, the quality of coffee had declined and Canadian buyers refused to renew their contracts, so the Jamaican government set up the Coffee Industry Committee to save the fate of top coffee. By 1969, the situation had improved because the use of Japanese loans had improved the quality of production, thus ensuring the market. Even in 1969, Japanese coffee drinkers were willing to pay insurance for the coffee, but now it has reached the point of fanaticism. By 1981, about 1500 hectares of land in Jamaica had been reclaimed for coffee cultivation, followed by investment in another 6000 hectares of coffee land. In fact, today's Blue Mountain area is a small area with a planting area of only 6000 hectares, and not all coffee marked "Blue Mountain" can be grown there. Another 12000 hectares of land is used to grow two other types of coffee (non-Blue Mountain Coffee): Alpine Top Coffee (High

Mountain Supreme) and Jamaican coffee (Prime Washed

Jamaican).

The real Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the most advantageous coffee growing conditions in the world. The weather, geological structure and topography of Jamaica provide a unique ideal place. The ridge across Jamaica extends to the eastern part of the island, with the Blue Mountains rising to more than 2100 meters. The cool weather, foggy weather and frequent rainfall reconcile the rich land of Rain Water. Here people use mixed planting to grow coffee trees next to banana and avocado trees on terraces. Some small estates also grow Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Wallenford.

Estate), Silver Hill Manor (Silver Hill Estate) and Atlanta Manor in J.Martinez (Atlanta)

Estate), etc. Even the largest landowners in the region are small-scale growers by international standards, many of whom are small landowners whose families have been working on the land for two centuries. The coffee industry in Jamaica faces a series of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, the increase in labor costs and the difficulty of mechanizing terraces. It is difficult to rationalize planting on many small estates and farms. However, Blue Mountain Coffee is one of those coffee retailers that value credibility to stock some coffee no matter what. A leading British retailer said: regardless of the price, he will continue to sell Blue Mountain coffee all year round because he has many customers who only recognize "Blue Mountain". Now, 90% of the post-harvest Blue Mountain coffee is bought by the Japanese. In 1992, Jamaica sold 688 tons of Blue Mountain coffee to Japan, 75 tons to the United States and 59 tons to Britain. Now that the rest of the world can only get 10% of the output of Blue Mountain coffee, regardless of the price, blue mountain coffee is always in short supply. In England, for many years, the Langford brothers

Brothers) is the only supplier. Later, the Edmunds Group (Edmonds Group) also acquired Jamaica's Salda Food Company (Salda).

Foods) to provide the source of goods.

The difference in transportation between Blue Mountain Coffee and other coffee is that it is transported in barrels with a capacity of 70 kilograms, a replica of Bonifieur barrels produced in Guadeloupe in the last century. The barrel was originally used to carry flour shipped from the United Kingdom to Jamaica, usually with a trademark and the name of the manufacturer. The Coffee Industry Council issues certificates for all authentic Jamaican coffee and bears a stamp of approval before export.

ten. Martinique, I.

The cradle of American coffee

Martinique is a small island and the birthplace of coffee in Central America, but it produces very little coffee today. The first coffee tree in the Western Hemisphere was created by Gabriel in the early 1820s.

Mathieu de

Clieu) from France. In his early years, Dirkley was a naval officer in Martinique. He brought back a coffee tree and planted it in Prechear. The first harvest was in 1726. Coffee was then introduced from Martinique to Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Guadeloupe. According to records, there were 18791680 coffee trees in Martinique in 1777.

The coffee trees on Martinique have witnessed the growth and destruction of an industry. Today, the island mainly exports bananas, sugar cane and pineapples.

eleven. Mexico

Coffee from the world's fourth largest coffee producer, slippery and fragrant, Mexico, the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, produces about 5 million bags of coffee a year. Most of its coffee is produced by nearly 100000 small farmers, and large estates that once manipulated the coffee industry are rare. The yield of Mexican coffee is about 630 kg per hectare. Later, the Mexican Coffee Association (Instituto)

Mexicano del

Caf é, or Inmecafe for short, controls the coffee industry. The Coffee Association controls both coffee cultivation and the market for coffee beans that can be exported since November. The association provides farmers with minimum purchase prices, technical advice and other assistance. However, since 1991, the Coffee Association's activities have been reduced and its functions are likely to be further weakened.

Coffee Agreement (Coffee

The collapse of Agreement) and the disappearance of price support have actually helped some producers, as it forces them to develop their own brands and gain closer ties with foreign markets, while the NAFTA agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico will further help Mexican products export to North America. Some people think that the best giant coffee beans are made in Mexico rather than Guatemala, but the supply and quality of coffee beans in both places can vary. The coffee beans, known as Maragogype, are large-grained and produce coffee that is smooth, mellow and fragrant. The poverty of farmers has caused most coffee to grow under natural conditions, that is, without the use of chemicals such as insecticides or fertilizers. The best coffee producer in Mexico is Chiapas in the south of the country, where coffee varieties including Tapanchula and Huixtla are grown. The Oaxaca region also produces high-quality coffee beans, Pluma, which grows in natural conditions.

Coixtepec) Coffee beans are one of the best. The Oaxaca region also produces Altura Orisaba (Altura Orizaba) coffee and Altura Vatusco (Altura)

Huatusco) coffee. Altura Atta Paike (Altura

Coatapec) region produces Veracruz coffee. The best giant coffee bean in Mexico is Liquidambar.

MS) coffee beans.

twelve. Nicaragua

The excellent Nicaraguan coffee is among the highest in the world, it is mild and delicious, moderate granule, very fragrant. In many countries, coffee production has been seriously affected for political reasons. Nicaraguan coffee industry is no exception. The 1979 revolution forced coffee planters to flee to Miami. A period of indecision followed, when the government considered whether to redistribute land, including many plantations, which led to a shortage of coffee and a decline in production, from more than 1 million bags in the early 1970s to less than 600000 bags in 1990. Now the government has opened up the coffee industry and private owners have taken control of the market. The best Nicaraguan coffee is grown in the north and middle of the country, and the best coffee is produced in Jinotega in Matagalpa and Nuevo in New Segovia

Segovia). The finest Nicaraguan coffee falls under the category of Middle Estrich Tamant Altura (Central Estrictamendte)

Altura) coffee, it is moderate acidity, fragrant and delicious, very lovable. Coffee beans of poor quality are widely used to mix coffee.
