Flavor

The Blue Mountain of Jamaica is the highest mountain in the Western Caribbean (2256 meters high). The highest annual output of top Blue Mountain coffee is 2400 tons, of which WALLENFORD, the state-owned estate, is the most important and famous coffee farm, while WALLENFORD, MAVIS BANK, SILVER HILL, MOY HALL and GOLD CUP are relatively well-known brands.

The production of coffee is the same as that of general agricultural products, and there are great changes due to the influence of the weather. In 1969, the production of Blue Mountain Coffee in Jamaica was troubled by the hurricane. UCC enterprises in Japan provided assistance to introduce ecological planting methods.

In gratitude for the assistance of Japanese companies, Jamaica signed a contract with Japan in 1972 to supply 90% of its annual output to the Japanese market. The remaining 10% of about 3500 barrels (70 kg in oak barrels) are then released to the market (and the only coffee that preserves oak barrel packaging), so Blue Mountain Coffee is very popular in the market, establishing Blue Mountain Coffee as the dominant coffee market.

In addition to less production, the cooking skills that show the flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee-slightly sour and less bitter-are also more difficult to master, so some chefs use this as a skill to show the moderation of Blue Mountain Coffee.

Market

Blue Mountain Coffee is a famous coffee variety, and its output is very small, so it is expensive. Blue Mountain is located in the coffee belt between 25 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees south latitude. The amount of real Blue Mountain coffee is very small, producing only 40, 000 bags (about 2.4 million kilograms) per year. The cheaper "Comprehensive Blue Mountain" (Blue Mountain Blend) or "Blue Mountain" coffee (Blue Mountain Style) on the market is usually a combination of better quality Colombian beans, intended to mimic the taste of Blue Mountain.
