FrontStreet Coffee's Introduction to Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee is the most superior coffee in the world. The Blue Mountain Range is located in the eastern part of Jamaica Island. When the weather is clear, the mountain reflects the brilliant blue light from the azure Caribbean Sea, hence its name. The highest peak of Blue Mountain reaches an altitude of 2256 meters, making it the highest peak in the Caribbean region and a famous tourist destination. This area is situated in the coffee belt,拥有 fertile volcanic soil, fresh air without pollution, humid climate with year-round fog and rain (average precipitation of 1980mm, temperature around 27°C). Such climate conditions have created the world-renowned Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, as well as the world's highest-priced coffee.

FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain Coffee processing is also very meticulous, with strict and detailed standards for processing, roasting, and packaging. Specific regulations even cover what organic fertilizers to use during the growing period. During harvest, all beans are manually picked, and Jamaica is one of the countries that still uses traditional wooden barrels for packaging and transporting coffee. Only after passing the strict standards set by the Jamaican Coffee Industry Board can coffee receive the government-issued certificate and officially bear the name "Blue Mountain."

Coffee beans grown at lower altitudes in other regions can only be called "Jamaican High Mountain Beans" or "Jamaican Washed Beans," and their flavor profile is far from comparable to Jamaican Blue Mountain. However, the production area of these beans is twice that of the genuine Blue Mountain region, accounting for 75% of Jamaica's total coffee production. Therefore, when purchasing Jamaican coffee, don't assume you're buying Blue Mountain Coffee.

Coffee is a gift from the earth and sun. Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is monopolized by 7 Japanese companies. In Shanghai, the most familiar ones are UCC Authentic Blue Mountain Coffee. In recent years, coffee has become a fashionable beverage. In Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and other cities, many businesses and individuals selling counterfeit Blue Mountain Coffee have been investigated. When purchasing Blue Mountain Coffee, consumers should pay attention to and confirm the following:

1. Determine if the coffee company has franchise qualifications for selling Blue Mountain Coffee;

2. The certificate of origin for Blue Mountain Coffee;

3. Customs import declaration forms and commodity inspection bureau certificates.

Filter Bag Hot Coffee Brewing Method

This method can prepare hot coffee for multiple servings in advance. When brewing, attention must be paid to the coarseness of coffee powder, water temperature, water amount, and brewing techniques. It's best to use a gooseneck kettle for better results. After the coffee liquid has finished dripping, it must be reheated to 80-90°C to achieve the optimal drinking flavor.

Materials and equipment: Coffee powder, small brewing bag (filter bag), small brewing stand, water kettle, coffee spoon, gooseneck kettle.

Brewing method: Pour coffee powder into the brewing bag, first tap the bottom to distribute the powder evenly, then dig a small hollow in the center. Pour 90°C hot water in a circular motion over the coffee powder, then pour 95°C hot water in small circular motions, and finally pour 85°C hot water directly at the center, slowly raising the height from low to high to complete the brewing.
