What is the quality of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee?

Maybe Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is the most famous coffee in the world, but in fact, few people know its history and why its price is so high. The first person to introduce coffee to the island of Jamaica in 1789 was a Frenchman who escaped the French Revolution. The first coffee was cultivated to increase local consumption and export in France, and the local industry was very small in the first 100 years. However, in 1932, the Jamaican Conference Law was passed to encourage coffee farming to reduce the island's dependence on sugar exports. In order to ensure the quality of Blue Mountain Coffee, changes have been made in the "Jamaican Coffee Industry" to standardize the processing process, improve coffee quality and make marketing equal, so as to save the fate of top coffee. The Jamaican Industry Association is responsible for the quality of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. In addition, the lush smaller coffee on the island is equally good, and gives final authority to Jamaican coffee exports-all coffee must go through the Jamaican Industry Association before it can be exported.

People may ask why Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is so special. The answer is everything about it. 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 designated Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee can only be grown in the Blue Mountain area, north-east of the island of Jamaica in Kingston. Coffee grows on a mountain with a maximum height of 1800 meters (almost 6000 feet), which is already quite high for small-grain coffee, and the mountains are very uneven and the process of harvesting is very difficult (coffee harvesting is almost entirely female). The tree is mainly small grain "Geisha High Bred" type. Seeds from these trees have been exported to other countries, such as Hawaii, Kenya, Papua New Guinea and elsewhere, but they are no longer able to create the flavor of Blue Mountain coffee beans anywhere.

In the steep and high-altitude mountains, careful farming and harvesting, all Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is ground, tasted and distributed by the Jamaican Industry Association. The coffee in the cup tastes very clean, and it is one of the sweetest coffee in the world. This taste has been described by Jim Reynolds in Peet coffee and tea: "the best example of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is its aroma, smoothness and richness." it makes me feel like a gem. It's as precious as a gem. It's complex, but very mild, it's sweet, it's very mellow. You have to taste it in order to know what I'm talking about. Unique growth conditions and careful production make Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee very famous.

Jamaica is one of the small coffee producing regions in the world, with an annual harvest of about 40000 bags-60 kg / sack (most of the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is actually shipped away in 70 kg barrels, they are the last countries to still use this traditional packaging method, but they produce 60 kg/ sacks, as that is the international standard for measuring coffee production). Compare Brazil, the world's largest exporter of coffee, with an annual production of 30000000 bags to 60 kg per sack.

Before 2008, the Japanese continued to invest heavily in the entire industry chain of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and promised to underwrite 90% of its annual production. As a result, the rest of the world has only a 10% quota, resulting in a trend that demand has been falling short of supply, and prices have gone up.

The unique growth conditions give birth to the unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee and make it one of the "gourmet Coffee". 100% of the world's pure Blue Mountain Coffee refers to a specific range of Blue Mountain Coffee in eastern Jamaica, and every step in its planting and processing has been subject to stringent standards of quality management by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority. can be proved to be "pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee".

The special conditions such as abundant rainfall, year-round fog and low temperature, average temperature of about 20 ℃ and fertile new volcanic soil constitute a good growing environment for Blue Mountain Coffee. Located at a high altitude of 2200 to 6000 feet, it creates a unique slightly sour taste, but it is not at all exciting or uncomfortable. It takes about 2 years for seedlings to be cultivated in the nursery. Organic fertilizers are used during their growth, and they are harvested one grain at a time during harvest. All processing, baking and packaging processes must meet the high standards set by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority.

Typica with low quantity and good quality is the best variety of Arabica. Most coffee-producing countries are only willing to grow other varieties with high yield but poor quality, but Jamaica gives priority to quality, preferring to sacrifice the production of Blue Mountain coffee in exchange for the best quality of Blue Mountain coffee.

100% pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, with its strong and attractive elegance, is indeed unmatched by other coffees. When it goes through the steps of grinding, brewing and tasting, it gives full play to its flavor, and it is difficult not to get drunk with the aroma of coffee around. Its caffeine content is very low, about half of that of other varieties of coffee, which meets the health requirements of modern people.
