An introduction to the characteristics of the Blue Mountain Coffee Flavor Manor in Jamaica

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 final authority is given to Jamaican coffee exports-all coffee must go through the Jamaican Industry Association in order to export coffee from the Jamaican Blue Mountain region there are three grades: blue Mountain Coffee (Blue Mountain Coffee), Alpine Coffee (Jamaica High Mountasin Supreme Coffee Beans) and Jamaican Coffee (Jamaica Prime Coffee Beans). Among them, Blue Mountain Coffee and Alpine Coffee are each divided into two grades. In terms of quality, the order from top to bottom is: blue Mountain 1, Blue Mountain 2, Gaoshan 1, Gaoshan 2, Jamaican Coffee. Coffee grown between 457m and 1524 m above sea level is usually called Blue Mountain Coffee. Coffee grown between 274m and 457m above sea level is often called Jamaica Prime Coffee Beans, and the price of blue mountain coffee is several times higher than that of alpine coffee. Mainly distributed in John Crow,St.John's Peak,Mossman's Peak,High Peak,Blue Mountian Peak and other five peaks from above we can understand the general production of Blue Mountain Coffee, the best Blue Mountain Coffee is undoubtedly one of the best coffee available. Although the price can ensure an adequate supply of Blue Mountain coffee, it does not guarantee the best flavor of the coffee. Also, this kind of coffee tastes much more expensive than it looks. If you want to taste its best flavor, you have to put more coffee beans than other coffee, otherwise the flavor will be a little different, so the flavor is that it has 10% to 15% more coffee beans than the coffee whose price is inferior to it.

The real Blue Mountain Coffee is made from the best local raw coffee beans, which is the fun of tasters. Its flavor is rich, balanced, fruity and sour, and can meet people's various needs. In addition, the high-quality fresh Blue Mountain coffee has a long-lasting flavor, as drinkers say, with a lingering aftertaste.

The best blue mountain coffee beans are NO.1 peaberry, also known as pearl beans, which are carefully selected small round beans and boutique products at an altitude of 2100 meters.

Flavor: the aroma is very full-bodied, with persistent fruit flavors.

Particles: fuller

Suggested baking method: medium baking

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 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. The Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee (the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board) was established by the Government of Jamaica in 1950 to set quality standards for Jamaican coffee and to monitor its enforcement to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee. The Commission awarded special official seals to raw and roasted coffee exported from Jamaica, which is the highest-level national coffee institution in the world. At present, there are six kinds of marks that can represent the origin of Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Mafis River Embankment Central Factory (M.B.C.E), Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (M.H.C.C.T.), 0 Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (P.X.X.S.H.), Coffee Industry Association (Wallenford), Coffee Industry Association (St. John's Peak) and Lanli (J.A.S).

By 1969, the situation had improved because the use of Japanese loans had improved the quality of production, thus ensuring the market. By now, this kind of coffee has reached the point of being feverishly loved.

By 1981, about 1500 hectares of land in Jamaica had been reclaimed for coffee cultivation, followed by the opening of another 6000 hectares of coffee land. In fact, today's Blue Mountain area is a small area with a planting area of only 6000 hectares, and it is impossible to grow all the coffee marked "Blue Mountain" there. Another 12000 hectares of land is used to grow two other types of coffee: Alpine Top Coffee and Jamaican Superior Coffee. King Louis XV of France ordered the cultivation of coffee in Jamaica in 1717, and in the mid-1920s, the Governor of Jamaica, Nicholas. Nicholas Lawes imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began to plant them in St. Andrew. To this day, St. Andrews is still one of the three major producers of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, with the other two producing areas: 0 Blue (Portland) and St. Thomas (St.Thomas). In eight years, Jamaica exported more than 375 tons of pure coffee. In 1932, coffee production peaked and more than 15000 tons of coffee were harvested. The "secret" of why Blue Mountain coffee tastes pure: their coffee trees are on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is very difficult. Non-local skilled female workers are simply incompetent. It is very important to choose the right ripe coffee beans when picking. Immaturity or ripeness will affect the quality of the coffee. The picked coffee beans are shelled on the same day, and then let them ferment for 18 hours. After that, the coffee beans were cleaned and screened. The subsequent process is to dry, which must be carried out on the cement floor or on a thick blanket until the humidity of the coffee beans drops to 12% 14%. And then store it in a special warehouse. Take it out and roast when needed, then grind it into powder. These procedures must be strictly controlled, otherwise, the quality of coffee will be affected because the mountain is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Whenever the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the mountain peak reflects the bright blue light of the sea. Hence the name. The highest peak of the Blue Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. Located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round (the average precipitation is 1980 mm, the temperature is around 27 degrees), this climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. It also creates the highest price coffee in the world. This kind of coffee has the characteristics of all good coffee, not only full-bodied and mellow, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee, it has no bitter taste at all, only a moderate and perfect sour taste. It is generally drunk on a single product, but because the output is very small and the price is extremely expensive, it is generally made with coffee with a similar taste on the market.
