The Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Bean is one of the top boutique coffee in the world, and the Blue Mountain gets its name because of the local clouds and fog, which seems to be a layer of blue smoke in the sunlight, and this fog can lower the temperature. it is very suitable for the growth of coffee trees, but Jamaica has a small area, low production and frequent natural disasters. In 1969, due to the influence of hurricanes, important roads leading to the Blue Mountains were destroyed. It also damaged the facilities of several processing plants, greatly affected the output of Blue Mountain Coffee, and the processing plant also fell into a financial crisis. At this time, Japan's UCC came to the rescue, saving the economy of Jamaica. In order to thank Japan for its aid, Jamaica and Japan signed a contract to supply 90% of the annual Blue Mountain output to Japan. The output of Blue Mountain is already small, and there is not much left to deduct the supply to Japan, and scarcity is precious. That's why Blue Mountain coffee is so expensive.

In order to control the quality of coffee beans, the Jamaican government set up the Coffee Authority CIB (Coffee Industry Board), and stipulated that only four districts in the east (St. Andrew, St. Thomas, St. Mary and Portland), and in the blue mountain area of 1000 to 1700m above sea level, the planted blue mountain can be regarded as orthodox blue mountain. In other areas or those below 1000 above sea level, it can only be called Jamaican alpine coffee, and the orthodox blue mountain is divided into four levels. The top NO.1 is screen 17mm~18mm, and defective beans must be less than 2%. At present, the "Blue Mountain Comprehensive" and "Special Blue Mountain" seen on the market are mostly mixed with cheap beans, and even there is not even a blue mountain bean in it, but replaced by Colombia, which is similar in taste. In addition, you will also see "Cuba Blue Mountain" and "Haiti Blue Mountain". Neither of these two countries has a producing area called Blue Mountain. Naturally, there will not be real Blue Mountain beans, and many businessmen use its resounding reputation and then slightly rename it to make more profits, so if you want to drink real Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, you should not only choose a trustworthy store, but also recognize it as "Jamaica Blue Mountain NO.1" is orthodox Blue Mountain.

CIB not only defines the planting area of Orthodox Blue Mountain, but also strictly examines the qualifications of raw bean processing plants and export farms. Only CIB authorized dealers can legally sell Blue Mountain coffee beans. RSW is one of the legally exported estates, which is composed of Resource, Sherwood Forest and Whitfield Hall. After harvesting all the coffee fruits, they will be sent to Sherwood for washing and fermentation to remove the pulp, and then exposed to the sun until the water content is between 11% and 13%. Then sent to the 24 °C constant temperature and humidity air conditioning warehouse for 2 to 3 months to increase sweetness, shelling and polishing will be carried out in a low temperature environment before export. Then manually select defective beans for grading, and then through CIB testing, you can barrel and air export, such tedious and high-standard conditions to deal with raw beans, is to ensure that every coffee glutton to drink the Blue Mountain can be as soft and smooth as wine, the orthodox Blue Mountain has an elegant and refined aroma of flowers and fruits, which is converted into the sweetness of taffy and maltose. Finally, it turns into the finish of red wine and tropical fruit, with rich but clean layers that haunt people.
