Posted: Oct 16, 2015
Appreciated and accredited for the smooth and mellifluous froth, for the stable fragrance and with smooth bitterness that coffee has, the rich persistent varnish uplifts this coffee among various other varieties and is one of the most exclusive & costly coffees around the world. It is cultivated in the island of Jamaica wherein the jagged territory, natural gloom, rich soil and a vaporous as well as cool climate blazes the coffee cultivation with stable rain.
Reason behind the exclusiveness & refinement:
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the finest among other varieties because firstly, the entire production from the Blue Mountains isn’t as much as it should be. As compared with various other countries where coffee is grown, Jamaica witnesses a relatively low production which makes the brew scarce. This limitedness and not an easy availability makes it relatively costly than other coffees around the world. Secondly, when someone describes a unique and distinctive coffee-growing atmosphere; it is the environment that is enclosed in mist and clouds with cool air. This environment requires ten months at an average, for cultivating coffee which perhaps, improves the taste of it and adds to the cost.
In other countries, coffee is either grown on a smooth acreage or on developing hills but when it comes to Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, the brew is planted in grows wherever the soil permits a cultivated growth. Also, there are some parts wherein the cherries get ripened and on some parts it doesn’t so there is too much labour invested to pick the coffee from where it has been ripened, it adds to the exclusiveness of this brew as well.
