Coffee story

The delicate sweet notes of the Jamaican Blue Mountains, which taste like wine, have always been the favorite of Japanese coffee lovers. Its rare output is the representative of fine coffee, and it is also one of the most expensive coffee in the world. However, not all coffee produced in Jamaica can be marked with the Blue Mountain logo. It must be certified by the Jamaica Coffee Authority, produced in a specific administrative district of the Blue Mountain and at a certain altitude in order to obtain Blue Mountain certification.

Produced from the old Wallenford Estate Manor, with elegant and sweet typical Blue Mountain flavor.

Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the most advantageous coffee growing conditions in the world. Jamaica's weather, geological structure and topography provide a unique ideal place. The ridge that runs through Jamaica extends to the eastern part of the island, with the Blue Mountains rising to more than 2100 meters. Cool weather, foggy, frequent precipitation, use this rich soil Rain Water to reconcile. Here, a mixed planting method is used to grow coffee trees to accompany banana trees and avocado trees on terraces.

Some small farms also grow Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Wallenford Estarte, Silver Hill Eatate, Atlantn Estate and so on. Even the largest landowners in the region are small-scale growers by international standards, many of whom are small landowners whose families have been working on the land for two centuries. The coffee industry in Jamaica is facing a series of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, increased labor costs and difficult mechanization of terraces. It is difficult to rationalize planting on many small estates and farms.

With a history of nearly 300 years since 1827, Wallenford Estate is the oldest Blue Mountain Coffee Manor in Jamaica. Wallenford Manor, which was the first to grow Blue Mountain Coffee in Jamaica, is given the title of national treasure-Wallenford Blue Mountain Coffee, the highest level of Blue Mountain Coffee. Its production is limited and is usually chosen by the royal aristocracy at a high price. Today, Wallenford is the most stable and trustworthy Blue Mountain Coffee processing Manor in Jamaica and is world-famous for its high quality Blue Mountain Coffee.

Jamaica is famous for producing Blue Mountain Coffee in the world. at the same time, it is located on the coast of the Caribbean and is often hit by hurricanes. The hurricanes in the 1940s and 1950s destroyed most of the Blue Mountain manors in Jamaica. Coffee trees, manor facilities, roads and other losses are beyond the capacity of the landowners. In order to boost the production capacity of Blue Mountain Coffee, the government made the decision to support and sell the Blue Mountain Manor. Coffee investors from Japan, Britain and other countries are lucky to own most of the Blue Mountain estates in Jamaica. Nonetheless, the Government of Jamaica has not completely waived its reservation over Blue Mountain Coffee (Jamaica's national treasure). While most of the estates are sold and privatized, Wallenford Estate is the only remaining estate managed directly by the Government of Jamaica, with the most stringent quality control procedures and not excessive pursuit of commercial operation, but with safeguarding the reputation of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee as its own responsibility.
