4 Reasons Why Blue Mountain Coffee Is So Special

October, 2014 was a big month for awards at Muffin Break, with the following wins 2014 GOLDEN BEAN AW Blue mountain is considered some of the best in the world. We explore why this highly sought after coffee is that little bit special: The cherries are handpicked In many countries coffee is grown either on flat land, or on rolling hills. This isn’t the case in the high reaches of the Blue Mountains. There are no large, flat growing areas. Coffee trees are planted in small groups, where the terrain allows handpicking and the ground can be as steep as 70 degrees! Unique growing conditions A combination of fertile volcanic soil, cultivated at an elevation between 1,800 and 5,500 feet, regular rainfall and misty cloud cover culminates in an exceptional and unique flavour profile – silky smooth and well–balanced, with an excellent full body, a classic and refined mild taste with chocolatey notes. Strict quality control Once the coffee beans have been processed and are in their “green” state, they are checked for defects. First, they are graded for size, with beans that are either too large or too small being rejected. They can be kept for domestic use, but not for export. Typically, only 85% of the beans are good enough to export. The total output from the Blue Mountains is relatively low Compared to other growing countries, the size of the coffee-growing region in Jamaica is very small which means a limited supply of high quality coffee beans.
