one。 Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee is cool and foggy over 1800 meters. Blue Mountain Coffee has been praised as the best coffee because of its sparse production and bitter taste. Its sweet, bitter and mellow taste has always been respected by consumers.

The official website of the Jamaican government Blue Mountain Coffee gives a very strict definition: blue Mountain Coffee must be grown in the Blue Mountain area and processed by a government-authorized processing plant. Among them, the definition of the Blue Mountain area is very strict, detailed provisions for the Jamaica Blue Mountain Mountains are very specific 16 areas, the government designated processing plants are currently only 4.

Most of the Blue Mountains are more than 1800 meters above sea level, of which the highest peak is 2256 meters above sea level. It is also the highest peak in the Caribbean and is a famous tourist attraction. The unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee is related to its unique geographical location and climatic conditions. Blue Mountain is located in the coffee belt between 25 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees south latitude, with fertile new volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, rainy all the year round and great temperature difference between day and night. Most importantly, every afternoon, clouds cover the top of the mountain, which not only shades the coffee trees naturally, but also brings abundant water vapor, which makes the taste and aroma of Blue Mountain coffee outstanding. The same coffee trees taste very different whether they are planted in Hawaii, Kenya, Papua New Guinea or anywhere else with a similar climate. Coffee beans from the lower mountains of Jamaica can only be named "Jamaican Alpine Coffee". As a result, the real Blue Mountain coffee is very small, producing no more than 40, 000 bags (about 2.4 million kilograms) a year, while Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, produces 30 million bags of coffee a year.

At the same time, the processing and production process of Blue Mountain Coffee is also very elegant. There are strict and detailed standards for processing, baking, packaging, etc., even to what kind of organic fertilizers are needed during the growth period. It is harvested entirely by hand, and in terms of transportation, Jamaica is the last country to still use traditional wooden barrels to transport coffee. What is even more special is that each barrel is accompanied by a certificate issued and sealed by the Jamaican government to prove its pure pedigree.

It is because Blue Mountain Coffee is rare and expensive, and what is more important is that some operators are deceiving blind consumers. The beans of "Blue Mountain mix" are mixed, and their shapes are quite different, so they are relatively easy to identify. Don't believe the "best Blue Mountain" that costs dozens of yuan a pound and the "Blue Mountain Coffee" that costs more than 30 yuan a pound. Blue Mountain coffee generally costs 800 yuan per kilogram to get the FOB price, and after adding all kinds of profits, the price is undoubtedly very expensive. Don't waste money on a false name until you are sure or able to judge.
