How is this Jamaica Coffee produced? The process begins with cultivation. In Jamaica, they are committed to a natural production system, by using organic fertilizers and the cherry harvest is completely manual. This is due to the orography of the land, which presents great unevenness and does not make the transit of machinery possible. Only the mature grain is collected, which ensures the quality of the coffee in the cup. The pulping is by wet method, and after obtaining the coffee beans and drying them in the sun, they are classified by size, discarding those with defects. As in the collection, the classification is also manual and requires a lot of skill on the part of the collectors. One of the characteristics of this coffee is that it has a characteristic bluish-green color when raw. The coffee tasting is carried out in a precise way by the competent authority. It consists of a first evaluation of the green and roasted coffee beans. The cupping is done anonymously, that is, without knowing which farm or processor the coffee comes from, and a detailed evaluation questionnaire is completed. In this way, impartiality is ensured, because regardless of the reputation of the producer or processor, if a coffee does not meet quality standards, it will be rejected. In relation to packaging, it is well known to find Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee in white wooden barrels, which prevent the grain from being contaminated by external odors and flavors. Blue Mountain Coffee Why is it so expensive? The low production means that its price at origin is high, and to this are added, in our opinion, three more factors: on the one hand, the characteristics of the production process, and on the other, the exhaustive quality control to which this product is subjected. coffee, and last but not least, the great qualities that this complete and balanced coffee possesses. In relation to the obtaining process, it should be said that it is practically manual without the support of machinery due to the location of the coffee trees. These are located in the middle of the mountains, surrounded by very steep and slippery slopes due to the local climate, which means that the workers run a great risk when harvesting the coffee. In short, the care and harvesting of crops is laborious and dangerous. On the other hand, quality control, as we have seen, is demanding and exhaustive, which adds value to the product. preparation tips You have different options to prepare this coffee. As we have already recommended on other occasions, the filter or drip coffee machines, the Italian coffee machine (also known as the moka coffee machine) and the espresso coffee machine are interesting. As you already know that coffee is a matter of taste, choose the option that allows you to highlight more the qualities that interest you in your coffee, although for high quality coffees, as is the case with JBM, it is recommended to a greater degree the filter or drip coffee maker, for having the ability to extract more aromatic and taste nuances. Remember that in all cases it is very important to properly adjust the grinding of the product and grind only the amount that you are going to need. Finally, remember to use bottled or filtered mineral water to avoid transferring unpleasant odors and flavors to the infusion.
