Rich and balanced Coffee Flavor description of Coffee in Jamaica

The coffee industry in Jamaica faces a series of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, the increase in labor costs and the difficulty of mechanizing terraces. It is difficult to rationalize planting on many small estates and farms. However, Blue Mountain Coffee is one of those coffee retailers that value credibility to stock some coffee no matter what. A leading British retailer said: regardless of the price, he will continue to sell Blue Mountain coffee all year round because he has many customers who only recognize "Blue Mountain".

Now, 90% of the post-harvest Blue Mountain coffee is bought by the Japanese. In 1992, Jamaica sold 688 tons of Blue Mountain coffee to Japan, 75 tons to the United States and 59 tons to Britain. Now that the rest of the world can only get 10% of the production of Blue Mountain Coffee, regardless of the price, the real Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the most advantageous coffee growing conditions in the world. Jamaica's weather, geological structure and terrain provide a unique ideal place. The ridge across Jamaica extends to the east of the island, and the Blue Mountains are more than 2100 meters high. The cool weather, foggy weather and frequent rainfall reconcile the rich land of Rain Water. Here people use a mixed planting method to plant coffee trees next to banana trees and alligator pear trees in terraces. Some small estates also grow Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Wallenford Estate, Silver Hill Estate and Atlanta Estate in J.Martinez. Even the largest landowners in the region are small-scale growers by international standards, many of whom are small landowners whose families have worked on the land for two centuries (Portland and StThomas). In eight years, Jamaica exported more than 375 tons of pure coffee. In 1932, coffee production reached its peak and more than 15000 tons of coffee was harvested. But by 1948, the quality of coffee had declined and Canadian buyers refused to renew their contracts, so the Jamaican government set up the Coffee Industry Committee to save the fate of top coffee. By 1969, the situation had improved because the use of Japanese loans improved the quality of production, thus ensuring the market. Even in 1969, Japanese coffee drinkers were willing to pay insurance for the coffee, but now it has reached the point of being madly loved. By 1981, about 1500 hectares of land in Jamaica had been reclaimed for coffee cultivation, followed by investment in 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 not all coffee marked "Blue Mountain" can be grown there. Another 12000 hectares of land is used to grow two other types of coffee (non-Blue Mountain Coffee): Alpine Top Coffee (High Mountain Supreme) and Jamaican Coffee (Prime Washed Jamaican). The best Blue Mountain Coffee is undoubtedly one of the best coffees available. Although the price can guarantee the supply of Blue Mountain coffee, it does not guarantee the best flavor of the coffee. It is also worth noting that the coffee is more expensive to drink than it looks. If you want to taste its best flavor, you must put in more coffee beans than when drinking other coffee, otherwise the flavor will not live up to the name, so the real cost of reflecting the flavor is that it has to add 10% to 15% more coffee beans than the coffee whose price is second only to it.

It is said that the real blue mountain caffeine is made from the best local raw coffee beans, which is the pleasure of tasters. Its flavor is rich, balanced, fruity and sour, and can meet people's various needs. In addition, the flavor of high-quality fresh Blue Mountain coffee is very long-lasting, as drinkers say-- endless aftertaste.
