Flavor and taste characteristics of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee introduction to the planting Environment of Fine Coffee beans in Manor

Blue Mountain in Sydney was once praised by Queen Elizabeth II as "the most beautiful place in the world". Blue Mountain is a long mountain range covering an area of almost one million hectares. Blue Mountain gets its name from eucalyptus trees (locally called Gali trees) in Manshan. Because eucalyptus leaves always emit a strong fragrance, under the refraction of sunlight, this fragrant volatile vapor makes Blue Mountain shrouded in blue mist, not only has a faint layer of blue smoke on the hillside, but also transpires blue mist in the sky. Blue Mountain thus obtains a name as beautiful as its scenery.

Landscape features editor

Victoria, the highest peak of the Blue Mountains, is 1111 meters high. Because it is remote and desolate, it is still an unconquered primitive forest. Looking out from the watchtower on the edge of Blue Mountain National Park, I saw dark blue mountains overlapping and disappearing into the sky. Close look, eyeful cliff, towering; waterfall flow turbulent, Xuan Xia and down, into the lush forest, or fall into the towering ravine. Thousands of peaks and green trees, falling flowers and silent water murmur, in this blue sky, fresh air, misty mountain fog composed of the valley stage, distinctive four seasons take turns to stage different colors of the drama. For Australia who know only the rainy season and the dry season, the Blue Mountains are particularly distinct, so they often come here to escape the three dog days along the coast. Sydneysiders love to spend the weekend in pleasant inns, and the deep ravines winding between boulders, sandstones, waterfalls, lush eucalyptus forests and fern forests are ideal for hiking and wandering. Blue Mountain National Park is inhabited by as many as 80,000 residents, scattered in 7 large and small villages and towns. Human beings and nature, primitive and civilized, live in harmony for a long time, giving people a feeling of returning to nature.

Three sisters editor

Blue Mountain's most famous scenery to the number of three sisters peak, Dan Cliff reflected the blue sky, do not have a verve. In the old days, there were three Australian aboriginal sisters who fell in love with three brothers descended from their enemies and staged an Australian version of Romeo and Juliet. In order to resist the feudal evil forces, the brave three sisters would rather turn into three stubborn rocks, namely, the "secret" of why the three sisters taste pure blue mountain coffee: their coffee trees all grow on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is very difficult. It's important to pick coffee beans that are ripe, as immature or overripe can affect the quality of coffee. The beans are shelled the same day and allowed to ferment for 12-18 hours. Coffee beans are then washed and sifted. after

The process is drying, which must be carried out on a concrete floor or thick blanket until the humidity of the coffee beans drops to 12%-14%. Then they are stored in special silos. When needed, it is taken out and roasted, and then ground into powder. These procedures must be strictly controlled, otherwise, the quality of coffee will be affected. Generally, coffee beans grown at low altitudes and other regions can only be called "Jamaica Mountain Beans" or "Jamaica Wash Beans." Compared with Jamaica Blue Mountain, the flavor is much different. However, these areas are twice the area of the real Blue Mountain region and account for 75% of the country's production. Therefore, when buying Jamaica coffee, do not think that you have bought Blue Mountain coffee.

Because Jamaica Blue Mountain is too famous, therefore, there will be counterfeit Blue Mountain coffee on the market, or simply called "Blue Mountain Coffee," basically this is the comprehensive product prepared by the store itself, which may not have a real Jamaica Blue Mountain bean.

To this day, St. Andrew's is one of the top three growing regions for Blue Mountain coffee in Jamaica, along with Portland and St. Thomas. Within eight years, Jamaica exported more than 375 tons of pure coffee. In 1932, coffee production peaked, harvesting more than 15000 tons of coffee.
