Visit Blue Mountain Coffee Processing Plant

Mr. Grant is tasting his coffee.

International online report (Mexico-based reporter Zhang Ling): as a non-coffee enthusiast, I don't do much research on coffee. However, when I heard that I had the opportunity to go to Jamaica for an interview, the first thing that occurred to many of my friends was that I could appreciate the true flavor of the world's top Blue Mountain coffee and expressed envy. Blue Mountain Coffee? The name is very poetic. What kind of unique charm can it be called "the top in the world"? After visiting the Blue Mountain Coffee processing Plant in Jamaica, I immediately joined the "Blue Mountain Coffee Family" and became its true FANS.

Unique natural conditions

The famous Blue Mountains

As soon as you arrive in Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, you can see the Blue Mountains that surround the famous city, where Blue Mountain Coffee is produced. According to legend, the island of Jamaica runs through many mountains, and the Blue Mountain northeast of Kingston is only one of these mountains. The reason why this mountain has such a good name is that when the British soldiers who had arrived in Kingston saw it shrouded in blue light, they shouted, "look, blue mountain!" From then on, it was named "Blue Mountain". Most of the Blue Mountains are above 1800 meters above sea level, of which the highest peak is 2256 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in the Caribbean.

The unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee is related to the unique geographical location and climatic conditions of the Blue Mountain Mountains. According to experts, between 25 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees south latitude is particularly suitable for growing coffee, known as the "coffee belt", where the Blue Mountains is located. In addition, Blue Mountain has fertile new volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, rainy all the year round, and a big temperature difference between day and night. Most importantly, every afternoon, clouds cover the top of the mountain, which not only shades the coffee trees naturally, but also brings abundant water vapor, which makes the taste and aroma of Blue Mountain coffee outstanding.

We first came to Strawberry Villa, a famous tourist resort in Kingston, and the majestic Blue Mountains can be seen at the top of the villa. It was about 1pm and the sun was shining, but the blue mountains in the distance were still surrounded by layers of fog. It turns out that the Caribbean is responsible for all this. The island of Jamaica is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Whenever the sun shines on the sea on a sunny day, the Blue Mountains are shrouded in a faint blue atmosphere because of the refraction of the blue water.
