Blue Mountain Coffee refers to coffee brewed from beans from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. According to the grade, it is divided into Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and Jamaican Alpine Coffee. The Blue Mountains are located in the east of the island of Jamaica, hence its name because it is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea. This kind of coffee has the characteristics of all good coffee, not only full-bodied and mellow taste, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee, so it has no bitter taste at all, only moderate and perfect sour taste.

Blue Mountain Coffee is famous in the world because it is located in the Blue Mountain with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, moist and rainy, and this climate provides excellent conditions for the growth of good coffee. The Jamaican government has a strict definition of the variety of coffee. Generally speaking, coffee growing in the Blue Mountains above 1800 meters above sea level can be classified as Blue Mountain Coffee, while other coffee varieties can only be called Alpine Coffee or Jamaican Coffee. Because of this, it shows the nobility of Blue Mountain Coffee.

Blue Mountain Coffee is harvested from June to November. Coffee trees generally grow on rugged hillsides and can only be picked by skilled workers. In addition, the procedures of shelling, drying and roasting of coffee beans must be carried out in accordance with strict requirements, otherwise it cannot be regarded as the world-famous Blue Mountain coffee.

According to the local plantation owner, in fact, the consumers of Blue Mountain Coffee are relatively concentrated, and most of the Blue Mountain Coffee is sold to Japan every year, followed by Europe and the United States. In view of the reputation of Blue Mountain Coffee, many coffee merchants also label their products as "Blue Mountain Coffee", and it is often difficult to see a real Blue Mountain coffee bean in a bag of coffee. In the great escape of the coffee beans, one of the Elaraby card people took refuge in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica.

Most of the Blue Mountains are more than 1800 meters above sea level, with the highest peak at 2256 meters above sea level, which is also the highest in the Caribbean. It is located between 25 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees south latitude. It is rainy all the year round and has a large temperature difference between day and night.

The Doumin who fled to the Blue Mountains are already exhausted, and many of the poor Doumin either hide in the sea or feed the wild animals. "Blue Mountain" is like a clean barbarian, slapping the black Doumin with a big grain of Rain Water, but this is to add to the hardship of the exhausted Doumin. If the heavy rain is another test given by God to the Doumin, then the temperature difference of 20 degrees between day and night is that God jokes about the lives of the Doumin. In this extremely harsh environment, soon more than half of the Doumin developed fever, cough and limb weakness, and the disease spread and expanded rapidly among the Doumin. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, the leader quarantined all the sick Doumin, and the other Doumin tried their best to help their compatriots. However, a tragic thing soon happened, and a large number of bean people died in large numbers.

The bean tribe on the Blue Mountain is like a soldier walking in front of death, either defeating death or dying.

Today's Lanshan people are the best of the beans, and have the reputation of being "aristocrats". The "Dou Zhi" that ultimately defeats death is remembered in the hearts of every Lanshan people and will be passed on forever.
