FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Blue Mountain No. 1 Coffee

Is Blue Mountain No. 1 good? What exactly is Blue Mountain coffee?

Whether Blue Mountain tastes good is actually a subjective concept. If you think it tastes good, then it is good. One person's nectar is another's poison. Some people sigh with disappointment after drinking it, while others become obsessed and are willing to pay a hefty price for it.

Therefore, don't get caught up in how others evaluate it, but rather focus on whether you can genuinely feel the charm of each coffee. Undoubtedly, the special climate and soil environment of high mountain areas directly affect coffee quality, creating the unparalleled flavor and balance of Blue Mountain coffee. There is truth in the saying "existence has meaning." However, it must be said that the price of Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee, reaching thousands of yuan, is beyond what most people can imagine.

What exactly is Blue Mountain coffee?

Strictly speaking:

Coffee grown at 910-1700m is called Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee.
Coffee grown at 460-910m is called Jamaica High Mountain Coffee.
Coffee grown below 460m is called Jamaica Prime Coffee.
Above 1700m is a forest protection area with no coffee cultivation.

To ensure the quality of Blue Mountain coffee, the CIB (Coffee Industry Board) has established a series of standards:

1. Clearly defined production areas;
2. Selection of Arabica Typica varieties for cultivation;
3. Training for coffee farmers (cultivation techniques, harvesting and processing skills, environmental protection, etc.);
4. Improving coffee processing skills (insisting on hand-picking, only harvesting fully ripe red cherries; using the washed method; controlling drying conditions to achieve a target moisture content of 12% in coffee beans).

Flavor Profile

A balanced combination of acidity, bitterness, sweetness, and richness.

Knowledge Point

The Jamaica Coffee Industry Board samples from every batch of produced coffee beans. After roasting and grinding, three cups of coffee are brewed. Senior cuppers taste them according to standard procedures. Only when at least two of the three cups meet the standards can the certification of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee be granted.
