Blue Mountain Coffee

Source:

The world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee comes from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. 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 Blue Mountains stretch to the east of the island of Jamaica. The mountain has such a good name because the British soldiers who had arrived in Jamaica saw the blue light shining over the mountain and shouted, "look, the blue mountain!" From then on, it was named "Blue Mountain". In fact, the island of Jamaica is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On every sunny day, the sun shines on the sea, and the distant mountains are shrouded in a faint blue atmosphere because of the refraction of the azure sea. It's kind of mysterious.

Most of the Blue Mountains are more than 1800 meters above sea level, of which the highest peak is 2256 meters above sea level. It is also the highest peak in the Caribbean and is a famous tourist attraction.

The regional climate is unique

The unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee is related to its unique geographical location and climatic conditions. Blue Mountain is located in the coffee belt between 25 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees south latitude, with fertile new volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, rainy all the year round and great temperature difference between day and night. Most importantly, every afternoon, clouds cover the top of the mountain, which not only shades the coffee trees naturally, but also brings abundant water vapor, which makes the taste and aroma of Blue Mountain coffee outstanding.

Only coffee grown in the Blue Mountain area above 1800 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. A coffee enthusiast whom the reporter knew in the United States was more "demanding". He insisted: "the coffee grown at an altitude of 2256 meters is Blue Mountain coffee." Coffee beans grown in the lower mountains of the island of Jamaica can only be named "Jamaican alpine coffee" because of their different qualities. In addition, 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 beans.

Blue Mountain coffee beans are full in shape, sour, fragrant, mellow and sweet, with a slightly bitter taste, harmonious taste and excellent flavor, so they are suitable for making individual coffee. However, due to low production, most of the products on the market are "special blue mountains", that is, mixed coffee with other coffee beans at the bottom of the blue mountains.

The bean shape is too large, with light green, has a special thick flavor, and is widely favored by people for its rich and unique aroma. Its taste is sour with sweet taste and low bitterness.

Generally brewing Italian coffee at home is made using a mocha pot invented in Italy, which also uses the principle of vapor pressure to quench coffee (another Watt's apprentice). The mocha pot can make the pressurized vapor pass directly through the coffee powder, allowing the steam to pass through the cell wall of the coffee powder (or Hook's apprentice), quenching out the inner essence of the coffee, so the brewed coffee has a strong aroma and strong bitter taste, and a thin layer of coffee oil appears on the surface of the coffee, which is the source of the attractive aroma of Italian coffee.
