Introduction to the unique planting environment of Yinshan manor coffee varieties with sour, bitter, sweet and alcohol

The United States is a coffee-loving country, but the reporter did not find any "coffee beauty" in several major supermarket chains and Starbucks coffee shops in Houston. According to a waiter at a Starbucks coffee shop in downtown Houston, their coffee is mainly made from beans from Africa, Colombia or Indonesia. Blue Mountain Coffee is less on the market, and 90% of Blue Mountain Coffee is owned by the Japanese. At present, the "Blue Mountain style" coffee seen on the market does not contain a positive blue mountain coffee bean. One kind of "Jamaican mixed Blue Mountain" coffee is a mixture of 30% Blue Mountain Coffee and 70% of the best Jamaican Alpine Coffee. The above two kinds of coffee try to imitate the taste of Blue Mountain Coffee, but can not achieve the perfect state.

The reporter interviewed several customers near the coffee shop, some of whom had not even heard of Blue Mountain Coffee. Blue Mountain Coffee has been given a "cold reception" in the United States, which has something to do with American coffee drinking habits. Since the 1970s in the United States, seasoned coffee has gradually become everyone's favorite coffee. It is made by adding seasoning spices to the coffee beans or adding a seasoned coffee companion to the brewed coffee. There are hundreds of seasoned coffees, and Blue Mountain Coffee, which is currently the most popular in the United States with vanilla, hazelnut and almond flavors, has maintained its status as the best today and is closely related to local business policies. In 1932, Jamaica adopted a policy to encourage coffee production to reduce the island's dependence on sugar exports. Unlike most coffee-producing countries, the local government does not plant a large number of high-quality and poor-quality coffee in order to increase output, but to give priority to quality, preferring to sacrifice the output of coffee to ensure the quality of Blue Mountain coffee. Therefore, Jamaica is currently one of the countries with low coffee production in the world. Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, produces 30 million bags of coffee a year, while Blue Mountain produces only about 40, 000 bags a year.

In addition, the processing and production of Blue Mountain Coffee is also very elegant. Strict and detailed standards have been established for processing, baking and packaging, and there are regulations on what kind of organic fertilizers are needed during the growth period. All are harvested manually at harvest time. Jamaica is also the last country to still transport coffee in traditional wooden barrels.

Only through this series of harsh standards set by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority can coffee obtain a guarantee issued by the government. officially known as "Blue Mountain", the unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee is related to the unique geographical location and climatic conditions of Blue Mountain. 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.

Only coffee grown in the Blue Mountain area above 1800 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. A coffee enthusiast whom the reporter knew in the United States was more "demanding". He insisted: "the coffee grown at an altitude of 2256 meters is Blue Mountain coffee." Coffee beans grown in the lower mountains of the island of Jamaica can only be named "Jamaican alpine coffee" because of their different qualities. In addition, 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.
