The Most Luxurious Enjoy- Blue Mountain Coffee



I believe many of you have heard about “Blue Mountain Coffee” and even tasted it. However, do you know what you drink is not pure Blue Mountain Coffee?

Actually, the world famous Blue Mountain Coffee is from Jamaica’s Blue Mountain and it is also name by the place it comes from. The reason why the mountain has such a beautiful name was that an England soldier was astonished by the mountain covered by blue sunshine.



Many people are fascinated by the unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee. One of the important elements is about the location and climate. Blue Mountain has fertile volcanic soil, the air is fresh without pollution, and it has a lot of rain. Moreover, clouds offer shadows for coffee trees which can make the flavor and fragrance be more outstanding. Seriously, only the coffee beans from the height over 1800m can be called “Blue Mountain Coffee” or others are just “Jamaica High Mountain Coffee.”

It is said that pure Blue Mountain Coffee mixes sour, bitter, sweet, and other flavors together perfectly to another extremely alluring and elegant fragrance. It is a superb high level that other kinds of coffee are so far behind to catch up. Also, Blue Mountain Coffee is usually tasted in black coffee, and it conforms to modern health concept because of its low caffeine.

In fact, Blue Mountain Coffee is very expensive because it is rare. What we taste everyday usually are Blue Mountain Blend or Blue Mountain Style which are created to imitate the flavor of pure Blue Mountain Coffee. Although I introduce you this one terrific coffee, I haven’t had a cup of pure Blue Mountain Coffee yet and it is hard to be found in Taiwan, actually.
