Introduction to the flavor and taste of high-quality coffee beans in Jamaica coffee producing areas without bitterness

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 flavored coffees, and the most popular flavors in the United States are vanilla, hazelnut and almond. 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, could not produce the flavor of blue mountain coffee beans. The earliest coffee on the island of Jamaica, it came from Haiti in Latin America in 1728. By 1790, some coffee farmers among the refugees in exile from Haiti had settled in the Blue Mountains and brought coffee-growing technology here. In 1838, Jamaica abolished slavery and allowed liberated slaves to cultivate their own land. Free slaves moved to the mountains to grow coffee and exported it to England. Coffee has come to be known for its admiration by the British upper class. This kind of coffee is the Blue Mountain coffee that fascinates coffee lovers all over the world today.

Pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee perfectly combines the unique sour, bitter, sweet, mellow and other flavors of coffee to form a strong and attractive elegant flavor, which is unmatched by other coffee. People who love Blue Mountain Coffee say: "it is a 'coffee beauty' that combines all the advantages of good coffee." Jim, general manager of Pitt, which is famous for its coffee and tea business in the United States, said of Blue Mountain Coffee: "it tastes fragrant, smooth and mellow, and it makes me feel as precious as a gem. It is precisely because the taste of Blue Mountain Coffee is moderate and perfect, so Blue Mountain Coffee is generally drunk in the form of black coffee. Blue Mountain Coffee refers to coffee brewed from beans from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. According to the grade, it is divided into Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and Jamaican Alpine Coffee. The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, hence its name because it is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea. 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 and the second most expensive 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.
