The "Secret" Behind Blue Mountain Coffee's Pure Flavor

All their coffee trees grow on rugged mountain slopes, making the harvesting process extremely difficult. Only local skilled female workers can accomplish this task. Selecting properly ripe coffee beans during harvest is crucial, as under-ripe or overripe beans will affect the coffee quality. After harvesting, coffee beans must be hulled the same day, then fermented for 12-18 hours. Following this, the coffee beans are washed and sorted. The next step is drying, which must be conducted on concrete floors or thick blankets until the coffee beans' moisture content drops to 12%-14%. They are then stored in special warehouse silos. When needed, they are taken out for roasting and then ground into powder. These procedures must be strictly controlled; otherwise, the coffee quality will be affected.

About Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee refers to coffee brewed from coffee beans grown in Jamaica's Blue Mountains. It is further categorized by grade into Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and Jamaica High Mountain Coffee. The Blue Mountain Range is located in the eastern part of Jamaica. When the weather is clear, the sun directly shines on the azure Caribbean Sea, and the mountain peaks reflect the brilliant blue light of the seawater, hence the name. The highest peak of Blue Mountain reaches 2256 meters, making it the highest peak in the Caribbean region. This area lies within the coffee belt, featuring fertile volcanic soil, fresh air free from pollution, and a humid climate with year-round fog and rainfall (average precipitation of 1980mm, temperature around 27°C). Such climate conditions have created the world-renowned Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, as well as the world's second most expensive coffee.

The export volume of Blue Mountain Coffee is extremely limited. In 1717, French King Louis XV ordered coffee cultivation in Jamaica. In the mid-1720s, Jamaica's Governor Sir Nicholas Lawes imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began promoting cultivation in the St. Andrew area. To this day, St. Andrew remains one of Jamaica's three major Blue Mountain coffee production regions, with the other two being the Portland region and the St. Thomas region.

How to Identify Authentic Blue Mountain Coffee

1. Appearance

Blue Mountain green beans are blue-green in color, very uniform in appearance, medium to small in size, with slightly curved ends. After roasting, they expand significantly in volume and appear very full.

2. Grinding

True Blue Mountain coffee beans grow at high altitudes, giving them a relatively loose cytoplasmic structure. When ground by hand, they feel crisp, smooth, and continuous, without any sense of resistance.

3. Aroma

The aroma is very rich and dense; so-called Blue Mountain coffee blends do not possess this characteristic aroma.

4. Taste

True Blue Mountain coffee has a balanced and rich flavor, with no single taste being overly prominent or lacking. This is also the most critical identification point that no other coffee bean can match. Blue Mountain Peaberry has a more subtle aroma and a relatively stronger mouthfeel.

5. Sensation

As the world's finest coffee, Blue Mountain's classic balanced characteristics inevitably bring a subconscious, indescribable sense of satisfaction when tasted.
