The 3 World Best Coffee


The 3 world best coffee are Jamaica Blue Mountain, Hawaiian Kona and Yemen Mocha.

First, Jamaica Blue Mountain.
 

 
 
Jamaica Blue Mountain is coffee produced in Blue Mountain region that is East of Jamaica.
It got a nickname 'King of coffee', known as England royal family and Queen Elizabeth enjoyed the coffee.
 
Cool weather, frequent fog, a lot of rain fall and land that absorbs the water are perfect condition for growing coffee beans.
 
 
80% of Jamaica Blue Mountain is exported to Japan monopolistically, and the rest 20% is divided to the world wide.
 
SO, it is hard to taste in Korea and most of the Jamaica Blue Mountain which is sold in department store or famous brand is just scent additive.
 
Maybe the scarcity value attracts us more:)
 
 
Second, Hawaiian Kona.
 

 
 
Kona is planted since 1825 in Hawaii. Hawaii is the only area that can plant coffee in the States.
Hawaii is composed eight big islands and 120 of small islands, and Kona is coffee planted in Kona area, West of the biggest island in Hawaii.
 

Coffee beans of Kona is harvested one granule by one completely. And although being planted in low altitude relatively, regular rain and moderate temperature help Kona coffee grow well. So it has great quality such as being planted at high altitude.
 
Kona has sweet, sour and fresh flavors and is evaluated as soft and harmonious coffee. Kona is so soft that some people who enjoy strong coffee can think Kona is so light. 
 
 
Third, Yemen Mocha.




The first coffee in the world is produced in Yemen. There is Mocha port in Yemen, so all of the coffee passing through Mocha port became to be called as Mocha.
 
 
Yemen Mocha have strong taste than Ethiopia coffee, unique indiviuality. It has rich dark chocolate flavor and is harmonious with bitter taste. Mocha is known as Van Gogh enjoyed the coffee.
