Jamaican coffee beans have a long history. In 1728, the then British Governor Nicholas Lowe Sir Nicholas Lawes imported coffee from French Martinique Island to Jamaica. Because the local climate was very suitable for growing coffee beans, Jamaica exported 83000 pounds of high-quality coffee nine years after its introduction. The Blue Mountain Coffee producing area is located in the east of Jamaica. Only those growing in this area at an altitude of 3000 feet to 5500 feet are authentic [Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee] (Jamaica Blue Mountain), while others growing at an altitude of 1500 to 3000 feet can only be called [Jamaican Alpine Coffee] (Jamaica High Mountain). Coffee grown below 1500 feet above sea level is [Jamaica's preferred coffee beans] (Jamaica Supreme) or [Jamaican low-altitude coffee beans] (Jamaica Low Mountain). Coffee is not allowed in conservation forests above 5500 feet.

The serious efforts made by the Government of Jamaica were mainly to increase coffee production and to build a central coffee processing plant to facilitate coffee treatment and raw bean grading, which did improve the quality but not very successfully. Canada, the largest buyer of Jamaican coffee in 1943, still could not accept this quality. In 1944, the Jamaican government set up a central coffee [water] treatment plant, where all coffee to be exported had to be processed and graded. The Jamaican Coffee Authority was established in June 1950 and the state is officially responsible for the quality of coffee beans for export. There are currently five government-certified 100% Blue Mountain Coffee processing plants: Wallenford,Mavis Bank,Old Tavern Old Inn, Silver Hill,Moy Hall.

[blue Mountain Coffee] what is it

Blue Mountain Coffee is the best coffee in the world. The Blue Mountains are located in eastern Jamaica, hence the name because the mountain 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. Located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round, this climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and the highest price coffee in the world.

Blue Mountain Coffee has the characteristics of all good coffee, not only full-bodied and mellow, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee, it has no bitter taste at all, only a moderate and perfect sour taste. It is generally drunk on a single product, but because the output is very small and the price is extremely expensive, it is generally made with coffee with a similar taste on the market.

The secret of Blue Mountain Coffee

The "secret" of why Blue Mountain coffee tastes pure: their coffee trees are all on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is so difficult that non-local skilled women are simply unable to do it. It is very important to choose the right ripe coffee beans when picking. Immaturity or ripeness will affect the quality of the coffee. The picked coffee beans are shelled on the same day, and then let them ferment for 18 hours. After that, the coffee beans were cleaned and screened. After that, the drying process must be carried out on the cement floor or on a thick blanket until the humidity of the coffee beans drops to 12%-14%. And then store it in a special warehouse. Take it out and roast when needed, then grind it into powder. These procedures must be strictly mastered, otherwise, the quality of coffee will be affected.

And we often see in the market [Blue Mountain flavor coffee] [Blue Mountain mixed coffee] and so on, to be honest, these coffees do not contain a blue mountain coffee bean at all! These coffees are made from beans such as Mantenin, Brazil and Goran to mimic the flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee.
