Ah Jamaica, a great place to visit. But what about that incredibly expensive coffee? The world's best? The world's most overrated? Well, I can say for sure that it is not the world's best coffee. It is an excellent mild, lush coffee... sometimes. But it is can also be downright bad. In these cases, it's nothing short of a crime to pay those prices for coffee. On top of that, a lot of coffee sold as Jamaican is not true Jamacia Blue Mountain, or is blended. If you pay $12 per lb for Jamaican coffee, it cannot be true Blue Mtn. but either the lower grown Jamaica High Mountain, or most likely a blend that contains a small percentage of JBM.
The history of coffee in Jamaica is epic ...In 1728, Sir Nicholas Lawes, the then Governor of Jamaica, imported coffee into Jamaica from Martinique. The country was ideal for this cultivation and nine years after its introduction 83,000 lbs. of coffee was exported. Between 1728 and 1768, the coffee industry developed largely in the foothills of St. Andrew, but gradually the cultivation extended into the Blue Mountains. Since then, the industry has experienced many rises and falls, some farmers abandoning coffee for livestock and other crops. In order to save the industry, in 1891 legislation was passed "to provide instructions in the art of cultivation and curing coffee by sending to certain districts, competent instructors." Efforts were made to increase the production of coffee and to establish a Central Coffee Work for processing and grading. This effort to improve quality, however, was not very successful: until 1943 it was unacceptable to the Canadian market, which at the time was the largest buyer of Jamaican coffee. In 1944 the Government established a Central Coffee Clearing House where all coffee for export had to be delivered to the Clearing House where it was cleaned and graded. Improvement in the quality of Jamaica coffee export was underway. In June 1950 the Coffee Industry Board was established to officially raise and maintain the quality of coffee exported.
The Blue Mountain region is in the Eastern part of the island, and only coffee grown within can be called JBM. Jamaica High Mountain refers to coffee grown outside the true region. Wallenford and Mavis Bank are the two most prominent names (you will see Old Tavern frequently too). Moy Hall is a co-op created from one of the older farms, and one of the 4 certified sources along with the above-mentioned in 1951. But these are not farms, they are coffee mills that purchase coffee from the surround JBM small farms and mills it. Wallenford ...
啊牙買加,既將參觀這偉大的地方. 但是這既驚人又昂貴的咖啡?是世界上最好的咖啡嗎?世人對他的的評價是否過高?它有著極棒且溫和,味道豐富的口感所以,我能確切地說它是世界最好的咖啡. ... 有時它也不是全然的好. 有一些些實例,雖然是很小的罪行.當付現金給那些定價很低的牙買加咖啡人. ,他會賣大量的咖啡當做是真實的Jamacia藍山,而它是混合的牙買加咖啡. 假如你支付 $12美元每磅買了牙買加人的咖啡,它不能肯定給你真正的Mtn. 那是較低種植的牙買加高山,也有些混合小的百分率的JBM
史詩般的牙買加咖啡歷史 ...在1728年,牙買加當時的地方長官尼古拉斯勞斯先生,從馬丁尼克島進口咖啡進入牙買加. 在培養了9年之後有83000磅咖啡被出口. 1728和1768之間,咖啡企業主要發展在山麓 ,但是安德魯逐漸地培養擴展至遠處的藍山. 自從那時起,企業經營經歷了許多的競爭和被擊倒,某些農工放棄咖啡開始經營畜牧業.這個狀況不斷的出現. 為了挽救咖啡工業,於1891年立法通過 "提供教授說明培養和挽救咖啡" 「努力增加生產咖啡和建立精製處理系統及評分咖啡機制工作｣來盡全力提升質量, 然而,不大成功的是: 直到1943年它仍個是無法被加拿大的市場所接受,加拿大是牙買加咖啡最大的買主. 1944年政府建立一個咖啡票據交換聯盟中心.咖啡為了輸出必須全部運送到這票據交換聯盟哪裡重新分級和評分. 改以牙買加的身分統一編號管理 . 在六月1950個咖啡企業終於由官方建立起的公信和維持質量繼而奠定了咖啡出口的版圖
僅僅在東方部分藍山地區的島裡面種植的咖啡,才能被稱呼JBM. 在牙買加「高山｣咖啡種植的外真理地區. Wallenford和畫眉鳥銀行是2個最卓越的名稱(你 也常常看到老客棧農莊). Moy大廳是從一座年長的農場裡的消費合作社創造出來的,1951年它和一個 有4個保證來源一起上方裡面的-mentioned.但是這些不是農場,他們是在JBM週邊小的農家和咖啡磨坊聚集成為. Wallenford ..
