The Common sense of the grading Standard of Blue Mountain Coffee Coffee description of taste characteristics and flavor of Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee

There are many "Blue Mountain" coffee packages on the market, but most of them are "Blue Mountain flavor" coffee, while the real Blue Mountain coffee needs to be certified by the Jamaican government, and the annual output is small, so the number of authentic Blue Mountain coffee beans in circulation on the market will not be very large, and the price will be relatively high. Many friends said that they wanted to buy blue mountain coffee beans, but they were afraid of buying fake ones. Don't worry, if you want to buy authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee beans, you can choose "Front Street Coffee".

The Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee beans sold on Qianjie Coffee come from Clifton Manor, the oldest coffee grower in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, which uses wooden buckets to carry raw coffee beans for export and has a certificate of certification adopted by the Jamaican government. All these can be seen in Qianjie Coffee Store. In order for everyone to drink freshly roasted and high-quality coffee beans, Qianjie will manually select the raw beans before baking, and then manually select the beans after baking before shipping, and ensure that it will be delivered within 5 days after the baking date.

Blue Mountain Coffee has been so expensive for decades because before 2008, Japan had the priority to buy Blue Mountain Coffee. In the days of being "monopolized", whether at home or abroad, the price of blue mountain coffee beans is limited, so the price naturally picks up.

The coffee tree planted by Blue Mountain Coffee was introduced in 1728 because the volcanic soil of the Blue Mountain Mountains is fertile, the environment is cold and humid, and the drainage is good, which is very suitable for coffee growth, so it has created the excellent quality of Blue Mountain Coffee, with a maximum production capacity of more than 15000 tons. Until 1969, Jamaica suffered a natural disaster, the quality declined, and the coffee industry gradually went downhill. In order to avoid the fate of Blue Mountain Coffee, the famous Japanese coffee company UCC provided timely assistance, bringing ecological engineering methods, financial assistance and so on.

In 1972, in order to thank UCC for its help, the Jamaican government signed a contract with Japan to sell 80% of its annual output to the Japanese market and the rest to the international market. This is why Blue Mountain Coffee is so rare in the market and the price is high.

However, after 2008, the Jamaican government believes that the production of Blue Mountain coffee has recovered very well, and the Japanese government has given priority to buying Blue Mountain Coffee for so many years, so it is time for the international market to have more opportunities to sell Blue Mountain Coffee. As a result, Japan's pre-emptive right was abolished, and more Blue Mountain coffee was supplied to the international market. Also in the year after the cancellation, the price of Blue Mountain Coffee is no longer high, and people have more opportunities to taste the authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans, which are known as "coffee gentlemen".

Blue Mountain Coffee beans are mainly divided into three levels:

Grade I Blue Mountain (Blue Mountain No. 1)-the top, the most expensive, the largest grain of beans, more than 96% of beans must be 17 mesh size, bad beans can not exceed 2%.

Grade II Blue Mountain (Blue Mountain No. 2)-more than 96% of beans must be 16 mesh size, and bad beans should not exceed 2%.

Grade 3 blue mountain (Blue Mountain No. 3)-96% of beans must be 15 mesh size, bad beans should not exceed 2%.

Although the price has come down and the supply has increased, there are still many coffee merchants who use the reputation of "Blue Mountain Coffee" for publicity, so many coffees on the market will say "Blue Mountain flavor", "Blue Mountain coffee flavor", "Blue Mountain blending" and so on. Remember! To buy Zheng Zhengzong Blue Mountain coffee beans, it is necessary to recognize the certificate of the Jamaican government and the wooden bucket used to hold raw coffee beans. (Jamaica Blue Mountain is the only area in the world where coffee beans are loaded in wooden buckets. )

Front Street chose the Blue Mountain coffee beans of Clifton Manor not only because it is the oldest coffee farm in Jamaica, but also because it is the only coffee farm in Jamaica certified by the Rainforest Alliance. To be certified, farms must meet sustainable agricultural standards, the standards are aimed at protecting ecosystems, protecting biodiversity and waterways, protecting forests, reducing the use of agrochemicals, improving livelihoods and safeguarding the rights and well-being of workers and local communities. Because it has been certified by the Rainforest Alliance, there will be a green frog logo on the Blue Mountain Coffee Bucket on the estate.

Blue Mountain Coffee is not the best coffee in the world, but it must be the coffee with the most balanced taste and flavor as a whole. Qianjie coffee highlights the smooth fragrance of blue mountain coffee, mellow and solid coffee flavor and taste characteristics, so the coffee beans will be roasted to a medium-deep level. When everyone brews the blue mountain coffee sold in Qianjie coffee, the water temperature can not be too high, about 88-89 degrees Celsius! Grinding should not be too fine, just grind to the size of coarse sugar (70% overscreening rate of China No. 20 standard sieve). In the brewing utensils, Qianjie Coffee chooses the kono filter cup with shorter ribs, because it can achieve the effect of prolonged extraction.

Kono filter cup, 88C water temperature, 1:15 powder / water ratio, 15g powder weight, medium grinding degree (20 standard sieve pass rate 70%), with three-stage water injection for extraction. The first stage is injected with 30 grams of water for steaming for 30 seconds, and the second stage is injected with about 125 grams of water, then wait for the coffee liquid to drop, and when it falls to half, the last section of water is injected to 225 grams, and then the extraction ends when all the coffee droplets lag behind. Generally, the total extraction time is about 2 minutes and 10 seconds.
