Description of flavor, taste and aroma characteristics of blue mountain coffee beans temperature ratio of brewing method of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

Each kind of coffee has its own characteristics, and the taste of Blue Mountain Coffee is the first in the world. It is said that Blue Mountain Coffee is good, Blue Mountain Coffee is good, Blue Mountain Coffee is delicious, so what's the difference between Blue Mountain Coffee? Blue Mountain Coffee is a very popular item in Qianjie. Its sour, sweet, mellow and bitter taste is very balanced, the taste is fragrant, and it tastes very smooth; however, Qianjie believes that each kind of coffee has its own characteristics and different taste, so choose the coffee that suits you, this is the good coffee in our life.

Blue Mountain Coffee is the most superior coffee in the world and one of the most expensive coffee in the world. Whether from the raw beans, or from the packaging point of view, are different. The Blue Mountain coffee in front of the street is from Clifton Farm, and it is a barrel of raw beans, and there is a sign of a water frog on the outside of the bucket, which is very different. These are all because of the Rainforest Alliance certification, so the blue mountain coffee bean barrel of the estate will have the logo of green frog, and only the blue mountain coffee beans will be filled in buckets.

Blue Mountain Coffee planting Environment

It is said that this kind of blue mountain coffee can be grown everywhere. Of course not. The special flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee has a lot to do with its growing environment. 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. Jamaica, an island country located in the Caribbean, has been growing coffee since the early 18th century and has a history of nearly 300 years. 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. It is located in the earthquake zone, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round (average precipitation of 1980 mm and temperature of about 27 degrees). Qianjie believes that it is this climate that has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, as well as one of the most expensive coffee in the world.

So even the same coffee tree species, whether planted in Hawaii, Kenya, Papua New Guinea or anywhere else with a similar climate, cannot produce the taste of blue mountain coffee beans.

Jamaica is one of the small coffee producing regions in the world, with an annual harvest of about 40000 bags-60 kg / sack (most of the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is actually shipped away in 70 kg barrels, they are the last countries to still use this traditional packaging method, but they produce 60 kg/ sacks, as that is the international standard for measuring coffee production). Compare Brazil, the world's largest exporter of coffee, with an annual production of 30000000 bags to 60 kg per sack.

Before 2008, the Japanese continued to invest heavily in the entire industry chain of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and promised to underwrite 90% of its annual production. As a result, the rest of the world has only a 10% quota, which has been in short supply, and prices have gone up. Therefore, Qianjie thinks that there will be a lot of coffee marked with Blue Mountain Coffee on the market, but it may not be the real Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, just the coffee with Blue Mountain flavor.

The unique growth conditions give birth to the unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee and make it one of the "gourmet Coffee". 100% of the world's pure Blue Mountain Coffee refers to a specific range of Blue Mountain Coffee in eastern Jamaica, and every step in its planting and processing has been subject to stringent standards of quality management by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority. can be proved to be "pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee".

Blue mountain coffee bean variety

It is said that good coffee is inseparable from good coffee varieties, and Blue Mountain Coffee is a Typica variety with small quantity and good quality, and it is the best and oldest variety in Arabica. Arabica varieties usually appear as boutique coffee, and Blue Mountain coffee is the boutique of boutique coffee. Most coffee-producing countries are only willing to grow other varieties with high yield but poor quality, but Jamaica gives priority to quality, preferring to sacrifice the production of Blue Mountain coffee in exchange for the best quality of Blue Mountain coffee.

Treatment of blue mountain coffee beans

Maybe you will see more washed Blue Mountain Coffee, but at present, Blue Mountain Coffee has water washing treatment and sun treatment. With the trend of the boutique coffee market, the Blue Mountain batch of sun-treated blue mountain coffee was first tried at Clifton Farm in 2019. Although it is not easy to say that the blue mountain coffee with sun treatment comes from, Qianjie believes that the coffee beans treated with water can better reflect the essential flavor of coffee beans, so the rations in the front street are almost washed.

Washing treatment method:

The picking process of Blue Mountain Coffee Tree on the rugged hillside is so difficult that non-local skilled female workers 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. The subsequent process is to dry, which 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 mastered, otherwise, the quality of coffee will be affected.

Suggestions for making coffee in front of the street:

Some people may say that such expensive and excellent coffee beans must be washed well and should not be wasted. Of course, Qianjie thinks that coffee beans have to be rinsed well in order to taste their real flavor. The freshness of coffee beans is an important link that affects the flavor of coffee. The coffee beans shipped in Qianjie are all roasted within 5 days, because Qianjie is well aware that the freshness of coffee beans has a great impact on the flavor. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

Of course, there are also some customers who need help grinding powder in front of the street, which does not matter, but Qianjie should be warned: if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise beans. Because in the process of transportation, the pressure caused by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor mellow, so the coffee powder can be brewed as soon as it is received. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes more quickly after contact with the air, that is to say, the flavor of the coffee will dissipate more quickly, so the flavor of the coffee is not so good. Therefore, Qianjie suggests buying whole beans, grinding and flushing now, so that we can better taste the flavor of coffee.

Qianjie brewing Blue Mountain Coffee parameters:

Qianjie believes that the high-quality flavor of Blue Mountain coffee lies in the balance of sweet and sour, mellow thickness and full aroma. On baking, Qianjie chose medium-deep roasting, which can highlight the nutty and cocoa aromas of coffee beans. Better alcohol thickness can be obtained by using KONO filter cup.

Filter cup: Kono filter cup, water temperature: 88 ℃, medium and deep roasted coffee hands choose a lower water temperature than shallow roasting, low water temperature because they do not want to extract too much miscellaneous flavor, Qianjie coffee in the choice of deep roasting, too much aromatic substances have been released, if you continue to use shallow roasting water temperature extraction, it will lead to over-extraction. Powder quantity: 15g, powder / water ratio: 1:15 Grinding degree: fine sugar thickness (Chinese standard No. 20 sieve pass rate 75%)

Now the KONO filter cup is moist, which can make the filter paper and coffee filter cup fit better. Put 15g coffee powder into the water in the sharing pot at the same time, steam with 30g water for 30s, then start injecting water around the center with small water flow for 30s, until 125g begins to segment, wait until the coffee powder layer drops to half the position of the filter cup and start to inject the second stage with the same method, until 225g, and then the filter cup can be removed after all the dripping is completed. From the beginning of water injection, the extraction time is 2: 39. Next, pick up the whole cup of coffee and shake it well, then pour it into the cup and taste it.

In the past, Blue Mountain coffee was very expensive, but now although Blue Mountain coffee is very common, Qianjie will not recommend it on its own initiative, because everyone likes it differently. The so-called good coffee is suitable for your favorite, this is the best coffee. And Qianjie, with more than 50 kinds of products from different producing areas, can try different flavors.
