Jamaican Blue Mountain – Coffee Worth Every Single Cent
This tropical island of Jamaica is known for a lot of things, sandy beaches, reggae beats, Bob Marley as well as coffees. The high reverence for Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee among devoted coffee lovers has driven its cost approximately between $26 and $40 a pound. What is it with this particular coffee that warrants an extremely high sale price?
True to its name, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is grown in the Blue Mountain area of Jamaica, basically located in between Kingston to the south and Port Maria to the north. Ascending to 7,500 feet, the Blue Mountains are the highest possible point in the Caribbean. The area is characterized by cold, damp climate and dark, rich soil with excellent drainage, perfect conditions for cultivating coffee beans. Although coffee is not native to Jamaica, it’s the primary export of the tropical island.
Not only any old cup of Joe can call itself Jamaican Blue Mountain. The Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica ought to approve each and every bag of coffee to ensure only the finest quality beans carry the prestigious brand. The Board exclusively acknowledges coffee beans grown in specific parishes of Jamaica: St. Andrew, St. Thomas, Portland and St. Mary.
The Coffee Industry Regulation Act organized a system of three grades of Jamaican Blue Mountain based on the screen or size of the coffee bean. The term screen refers to the literal screens of various dimensions used to sort out the beans based on their size. The theory behind this process is that beans grown in elevated altitudes are usually bigger and produce better-tasting coffee compared to those grown in lower altitudes.
The demanding high quality standard for Jamaican Blue Mountain does not include beans that would probably be considered fine for other coffees. The screening procedure likewise helps to eliminate maragogipe (elephant beans). A mutant variety believed to have originated in Brazil, elephant beans are big, green, porous beans which often take up the taste of the terrain they grown in. The jury is still out on their value, but they are considered an insufferable defect for Jamaican Blue Mountain production.
At least 96 percent of the beans used must be of the very same size and bluish-green color. No greater than 2 percent could stray from that requirement in any way. Sour or black beans, or unknown matter of any sort, are considered unforgivable defects and don’t fall under the two-percent rule. By far the most unbending benchmark is needed to maintain the qualities that coffee lovers have come to expect.
The geographical area that cultivates Jamaican Blue Mountain beans is relatively small and are only able to make so much coffee. The limited quantity, the matchless quality resulting from meticulous farming, the appealing scent as well as the renowned name of Jamaican Blue Mountain have unquestionably led to its reputation as one of the most sought-after coffees on the planet. As long as hardcore coffee lovers continue to demand it, it will also be one of the most costly. A Holistic Lifestyle Coach will definitely suggest drinking coffee moderately and having a Raw Vegan diet plan.
