Full-bodied Jamaican Coffee Atlanta Manor Coffee Flavor and taste introduction to the characteristics of the manor producing area

Jamaica is a tiny coffee grower, accounting for only 0.02 per cent of the world market, with 85 per cent of its exports to Japan.

Among them, the leading role is the Jamaican Coffee Industry Association (Coffee Industry Board, referred to as CIB), which was established in 1948 to promote the development of the Jamaican coffee industry, improve the income of coffee farmers, protect the quality of Jamaican coffee, and sell Jamaican coffee around the world.

In order to ensure the quality of Blue Mountain Coffee, CIB has made a series of specifications:

1. Clearly define the production area

two。 Choose to plant Arabica tin card varieties

3. Training coffee farmers (planting techniques, harvest handling techniques, environmental protection, etc.)

4. Improve coffee processing skills (insist on picking by hand, picking only fully ripe red fruits; use water washing; control drying conditions so that the target moisture content of coffee beans is 12%)

Since 1953, CIB has classified coffee grown in this region as Blue Mountain Coffee according to its special origin. By 1980, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee had become so famous that some British and American retailers labeled it as "Blue Mountain Coffee" on non-Jamaican coffee. To this end, CIB specially designed a label that can only be affixed to 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee in 1984-1985. Some small estates of Logo, which also has Jamaican Alpine Coffee and preferred Coffee, also grow Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Wallenford Manor (Wallenford Estate), Silver Mountain Manor (Silver Hill Estate) and Atlanta Estate Manor (J.Martinez). Even the largest landowners in the region are small-scale growers by international standards, many of whom are small landowners whose families have been working on the land for two centuries. The coffee industry in Jamaica faces a series of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, the increase in labor costs and the difficulty of mechanizing terraces. It is difficult to rationalize planting on many small estates and farms.

However, Blue Mountain Coffee is one of those coffee retailers that value credibility to stock some coffee no matter what. A leading British retailer said: regardless of the price, he will continue to sell Blue Mountain coffee all year round because he has many customers who only recognize "Blue Mountain".

Now, 90% of the post-harvest Blue Mountain coffee is bought by the Japanese. In 1992, Jamaica sold 688 tons of Blue Mountain coffee to Japan, 75 tons to the United States and 59 tons to Britain. Now that the rest of the world can only get 10% of the output of Blue Mountain coffee, regardless of the price, blue mountain coffee is always in short supply. In the UK, Langford Brothers Brothers has been the only supplier for many years. Later, the Edmunds Group (Edmonds Group) also received supplies from Jamaica's Salda Food Company (Salda Foods).

Langford Brothers Brothers is a licensed Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee brand.

The difference in transportation between Blue Mountain Coffee and other coffee is that it is transported in barrels with a capacity of 70 kilograms, a replica of Bonifieur barrels produced in Guadeloupe in the last century. The barrel was originally used to carry flour shipped from the United Kingdom to Jamaica, usually with a trademark and the name of the manufacturer. The Coffee Industry Committee issues certificates for all authentic Jamaican coffee and bears a stamp of approval before export.
