In 1953, the Jamaican government established the Jamaican Coffee Authority (Coffee Industry Board, referred to as CIB) to manage the quality of Jamaican coffee. Jamaica is the first country in the world to distinguish coffee names on a regional basis. Like French wine, cheese, cream, etc., will be named after the country of origin. All coffee exported from Jamaica can only be exported through the Jamaican Coffee. In particular, coffee harvested from the Blue Mountain area authorized by law is absolutely 100% Blue Mountain coffee.

It is well known that the Classdale area is located in St. Andrew's diocese, where coffee is produced at an average altitude of 1000 meters, which is right in the middle of Blue Mountain coffee production. Therefore, it is also called "the Heart of the Blue Mountain". Near this area is the largest national park in the country, as well as the Grand Ridge Forest Reserve.

The history of Clydesdale

Classdale Manor was founded by Dr. Colin McClarty in England in 1800. Although he first went to Jamaica for the purpose of a trip, he fell in love with the land and settled down. The estate was also one of the first estates to commercialize Jamaican coffee. At that time, the name of the diocese was still Port Royal, but it was later changed to St. Andrew's diocese. Farmers began to find that the coffee produced in the area was of good quality, so they followed Dr. McClarty and started growing coffee near Clydesdale. In this way, Coffee is growing more and more widely in Clydesdale. Coffee from Clydesdale Manor has been exported since the 1800s.

Although Clydesdale Manor is no longer in actual operation, the treatment plant, drying plant and water wheel at that time are still in good condition 200 years later. Clydesdale Great House, once a honeymoon accommodation and adjacent to the factory, has also been designated as a national heritage by the Jamaican government.

Producers in Clersdale continue to grow good Tibica coffee. Clydesdale is the blue mountain coffee harvested in this area. Irreplaceable and incomparable, this fragrance remains the same today.
