Blue Mountain Coffee. Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee with delicate and sweet taste.

Jamaica has had a bad year recently, with storms and insects hitting the island repeatedly, and the noble Blue Mountain Coffee has been severely damaged. From the second half of 2007 to 2008, when opening newly arrived barrels of raw beans from Blue Mountain, it is necessary to be mentally accurate. There may be worm-eaten beans, even if they are expensive. 1 was also spared.

Jamaica's Coffee Industγ Board admitted in March 2007 that the coffee producing area was plagued by fruit borers, forcing delays in the delivery process. Henzin Willis, Manager of the Quality Management Department of the Bureau, said: "The quality of Blue Mountain coffee produced in 2006 - 2007 is indeed problematic. The main reason is that the coffee fruit is seriously infected with fruit borers. Pest control is an annual routine. Obviously, we didn't do a good job last year, which caused the pest to be rampant…We need more time to pick out the worm-eaten beans, so we delayed the shipment." Norlnan Grant, president of the Agricultural Association of Jamaica, points out that coffee in its infancy is in crisis:

"The rate of infection with fruit borers in new-term coffee is alarmingly high, from about 5% a year in the past to 15% to 25% this year. Blue Mountain coffee is not immune, and about % of shipments will be delayed as a result."

Willis predicted that Blue Mountain coffee production would be reduced by 40% in 2007 as a result, and has instructed relevant units to draw up more effective fruit borer control plans to ensure that a repeat will not occur in 2008. It is understood that the effect of the insect traps issued to farmers by the Coffee Management Bureau last year was mediocre, and farmers 'desire to use them was not high, which caused the pest crisis in the new season. In recent years, the diamond fruit worm has plagued coffee plantations around the world. Kenya has also suffered a lot, and its production has dropped sharply.
