The annual average amount of water resources is 2.3592 billion cubic meters, or 6954 cubic meters per person, which is 2.29 times that of Hunan Province's annual average water volume of 3038 cubic meters and 2.67 times that of China's 2600 cubic meters. Each mu of cultivated land has 8250 cubic meters of surface water, which is 1.78 times that of 4650 cubic meters per mu in Yongzhou City. Lanshan County is rich in forest resources, and enjoys the reputation of "Huiwei green, floating blue, hundred miles of forest, enclosed and far away" and "cutting wood and rich bamboo forest". The territory is rich in pine, bamboo, eucalyptus, metasequoia, ginkgo, yellow fir, spotted bamboo, dragon bamboo and other rare plants, with a forest coverage rate of 72%. By 2003, Lanshan County had 143848.5 hectares of forestry land, accounting for 79.65 percent of the total area of Lanshan County, with a forest accumulation of 4.544 million cubic meters and a forest coverage rate of 71.52 percent. It is a key forest county in Hunan Province. The eucalyptus trees in Hankou and other hilly areas of Maojun Town Huoshi Office have developed to more than 10,000 mu, which is the base of industrial raw material forest in Lanshan County.

The "secret" of why Blue Mountain coffee tastes pure: their coffee trees are all on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is so difficult that non-local skilled women are simply unable to do it. 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. After that

The drying process 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. When it comes to Jamaica, everyone's eyes immediately brighten because it produces the best "Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee" (Jamaica Blue Mountain) in the world. We absolutely believe that Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is the best coffee, its acid, sugar, alcohol and bitterness are well balanced, fragrant and smooth to drink, but its price is so high that although it is worth a try, there is no need to be fascinated by it. Because other selected coffee also has its own characteristics, and the taste is delicious, the price is also reasonable, this is the good coffee in our life.

The earliest "Jamaican Blue Mountain" refers to the coffee produced by "Warren Ford Farm" and "Silver Hill Farm", with the former of the best quality; today, the Jamaican Blue Mountain refers to coffee beans growing in the Blue Mountain area (more than 1000 meters high) east of Kingston, the capital of Jamaica. Now Mawei is the largest manor, its barrel is printed with M.B.C.F, and its products are often found in Taiwan. The quality control of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica is very strict, and the certification work is carried out by the government's "Coffee Industry Committee".

Coffee beans that generally grow at low elevations and other areas can only be called "Jamaican mountain beans" or "Jamaican waterwashed beans". Compared with the Jamaican Blue Mountains, they have a lot of flavor, but, the area of these producing areas is twice that of the real blue mountain area, and the output accounts for 75% of the country's output, so when you buy Jamaican coffee, don't think that the situation has improved by 1969. Because the use of Japanese loans to improve 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 other two types of coffee: Alpine Top Coffee and Jamaican Superior Coffee. From above, we can understand the general production of Blue Mountain Coffee. It should be noted that 99.9% of the Blue Mountains that can be drunk in the country are only grown near the Blue Mountains. Only the coffee produced in the 6000 hectares above 1600 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain, and the yield is always below 900t. According to the principle of 10% supply to the world outside Japan, can this kind of coffee, which the world can only consume 90 tons a year, be drunk in any cafe for dozens of yuan?

The best Blue Mountain Coffee is undoubtedly one of the best. 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.
