Why is the Jamaican Blue Mountain so popular and popular?

The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part 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. The highest peak of the Blue Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. It is located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round (average precipitation of 1980 mm, temperature of about 27 degrees). This climate and ultra-high altitude have created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and the second most expensive coffee in the world.

The coffee planting and processing area is located in the mountain area with an average of 1600 to 900m, with sufficient altitude, mild afternoon cloud shade, sufficient sunshine and mineral-rich planting soil to provide good growth conditions for coffee trees and prolong the ripening of coffee cherries.
