FrontStreet Coffee's Introduction to Blue Mountain Coffee

Whenever people have free time, they want to have a cup of "Blue Mountain Coffee." However, what they don't know is that most of the Blue Mountain Coffee they drink is fake!

In addition to the three major countries of Canada, the United States, and Mexico in North America, the rest are mostly small countries, and most of them are island nations. Among them, Jamaica is undoubtedly one of the most famous. Not to mention anything else, sprint legends represented by the "King of Sprint" Bolt have "advertised" Jamaica worldwide, making it difficult not to know about it. If you love drinking coffee, you must know that Blue Mountain Coffee comes from Jamaica.

The English name for Blue Mountain Coffee is literally "Blue Mountain Coffee" - a rather direct translation. Blue Mountain Coffee refers to coffee brewed from coffee beans grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The Blue Mountain Range is located in the eastern part of Jamaica. When the weather is clear, the sun shines directly on the azure Caribbean Sea, and the peaks reflect the brilliant blue light of the seawater, hence the name.

The highest peak of the Blue Mountains reaches an altitude of 2,256 meters, making it the highest peak in the Caribbean region and a famous tourist destination. This area is located in an earthquake zone and has fertile volcanic soil, fresh air without pollution, a humid climate, and is foggy and rainy throughout the year.

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is a globally protected certification mark, which means only coffee certified by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board can be labeled as such. It comes from a recognized growing region in Jamaica's Blue Mountain area, and its cultivation is supervised by the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board.

Such climate conditions have created the world-renowned Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, as well as the second most expensive coffee in the world. This coffee possesses all the characteristics of good coffee - not only is it rich and mellow in taste, but due to the perfect combination of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness, it has no bitter taste at all, only a moderate and perfect acidity.

All of this is what I've heard, after all, the editor has never tried it, so the taste and flavor can only be based on hearsay... (so poor~) The editor hasn't tried it because of financial constraints, but even wealthy people in our country find it difficult to drink authentic Blue Mountain Coffee.
