A brief introduction to the cultivation of bitter Jamaican coffee, geographical location, climate and altitude

From the 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 China are only planted near the Blue Mountains. Only coffee produced in 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.

The real Blue Mountain Coffee is made from the best local raw coffee beans, which is the fun 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 particularly long-lasting, as drinkers say, the annual harvest period of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is from June to November, which is usually picked by hand. after picking, it goes through the process of washing, peeling, fermentation, dehydration, drying, shelling, baking and so on before you can get a ripe blue mountain coffee bean. In the process of raw bean processing, there are special personnel responsible for quality supervision in each step. For the very precious Blue Mountain Coffee, the packing and transportation mode adopted by the Jamaican government is also different. Unlike other coffees, Blue Mountain Coffee is not packed and transported in cloth bags at 60kg / bag, but in wooden barrels at the standard of 70kg / barrel. Jamaica is also the last country to still transport coffee in traditional wooden barrels. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans must obtain a certificate of quality recognition issued by the Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee, which is the only body in Jamaica authorized to issue such a certificate. And each batch of exports will have special quality supervision experts responsible for sampling, baking, grinding and brewing coffee, and finally make a judgment on whether it is up to the standard or not.
