As for "Comprehensive Blue Mountain" (Blue Mountain Blend) or "Blue Mountain" coffee (Blue Mountain Style), it is usually made of good Colombian beans.

The term "Jamaica High Mountain" refers to coffee beans grown in other mountains less than 1,000 meters on the island, which are of relatively ordinary quality and have a mild texture and sour taste. As for "Blue Mountain Blend" or "Blue Mountain Style" coffee, it is usually a combination of good Colombian beans, intended to imitate the taste of Blue Mountain, and has nothing to do with Jamaica. You won't find any real blue beans in Blue Mountain coffee.

[Dominican Republic (Dominican Republic)]

Beans from the Dominican Republic are often called "Santo Domingan" (their old country name), and the coffee plantations there are mainly around the mountains in the middle of the island.

There are four kinds of washed alpine coffee on the market: Cibao, Bani, Ocoa and Barahona. The latter three are especially praised. The sweet taste of soft ripe fruit is very similar to that of Haitian coffee, while Balahona has a high acidity and a thick taste of typical Caribbean beans, which is close to the Jamaican mountains in quality and characteristics. Baking to medium depth best highlights their sweetness.

[Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico)]

Beans, named after Yauco Selecto, are the best example of Caribbean beans. They are rich in texture, balanced in taste, gentle but complex and deep. Deep-baked Caribbean beans do not have the rough burning taste common in other deep-baked beans and are suitable for filter kettles (Plunger or French Press) and other cooking methods that have been soaked for a long time.

[Yemen (Yemen)]

The word Mocha has many meanings. Around 600 AD, the first coffee bean far from its hometown, Ethiopia, took root in the leaf gate on the other side of the Red Sea and started the coffee industry all over the world. Since the most important export port of Yemeni coffee in the early days was the port of Mocha (now silted up), the coffee produced in Yemen was also called "mocha" beans. Over time, some people began to use "mocha" as a nickname for coffee. The situation is similar to that in Java today. Later, because the aftertaste of mocha coffee resembled chocolate, the word "mocha" was extended to be a mixture of hot chocolate and coffee. Therefore, the same is "mocha", mocha beans, mocha pot and Italian coffee in mocha coffee, but represent three meanings. Today's Yemeni mocha (Yemen Mocha) is no different from its ancestors more than a thousand years ago, and it is the most advanced traditional hand-dried bean-although it varies in size and contains a lot of impurities in raw beans. The two most common producing areas are Mattari and Sanani; Matali beans have more texture, chocolate and sour taste, while Shanani beans are more balanced and fragrant. Generally speaking, the average size of mocha beans is small, with the wild and spicy smell of ginger, bright and unique taste, pleasant fruit acidity, and rich wine-like texture, no wonder it is known as the Bordeaux wine in coffee. In mixed coffee, mocha usually plays the role of high-pitched voice, responsible for stimulating and improving flavor.

[Ethiopia (Ethiopia)]

The highlands of Ethiopia are the birthplace of coffee. The traditional drying method is still used to produce mocha-Hara beans (Harrar,Harari,Harer or Harar) at an altitude of about 2,000 meters near Harrar in the east. Hara has a medium texture with a fruit wine-like flavor, and a good Hara is as wild as the best Yemenmoka. Dried beans from other regions, such as Gimbi or Ghimbi, Jima,Jimma or Djimah and Sidamo, are equally wild and wine-like, but not so rich and a little rough. The water-washed mocha from Jinbi in the west has the same sour wine as Hara, but it is packaged with a richer and balanced feel and a thicker texture. As for water-washed beans from the south, such as Sidamo and Gemma, they keep less sour wine and replace them with more gentle and delicate flavours of lemon and flowers. The best is produced in a high and narrow area of Sidamone, called Yirgacheffe, whose rich taste brushes the taste buds and leaves an endless aftertaste, while its slightly sour taste is similar to Sumatra and swims in a rich texture; in addition, it adds a unique soft floral fragrance, which is really the only coffee in the world.
