The legal coffee producing area of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica is constantly shrouded in blue fog, so it is named "Blue Mountain Coffee". Blue Mountains is located in eastern Jamaica, across 45 km, 20 km wide, up to 2260 meters above sea level, is the highest mountain range in the Caribbean. The Blue Mountains are covered with fertile soil with excellent drainage and are very suitable for coffee cultivation.

Located in the legal Blue Mountain Coffee District of Jamaica, Mavis Bank is also one of the raw bean processing plants certified by the Jamaican government, about 10 miles northeast of the capital Kingston, and has been operated by the Munn Family family since 1885.

The the Munn family family started running Mavis Bank in 1885 at a slightly higher altitude than the current site, called Strawberry Hill. Mavis bank processed coffee cherries at high altitude. the coffee beans they invested in brand-new equipment have been greatly improved because they have a really defect-free process, and the taste of this kind of coffee is very mild and smooth. Sometimes it reminds people of the fragrance of oolong tea on the frozen top of the mountain.

Originally the Moon family planted and processed the harvested coffee cherries in Strawberry Hill, west of Blue Mountain Coffee. The present-day Mavis Bank processing plant was founded by Victor Munn in 1920 and then taken over by Victor's nephew, Keble Munn. Keble is not only an agricultural operator, but also the first certified cup tester in Jamaica. Mavis Bank is already the largest coffee gathering place in Jamaica, and in order to ensure coffee quality, the processing plant collects raw beans from single farms or small farmers in specific areas of the Blue Mountains. The coffee planting and processing area is located in the mountain area with an average of 1600 to 900m, with sufficient altitude, mild afternoon cloud shade, sufficient sunshine and mineral-rich planting soil to provide good growth conditions for coffee trees and prolong the ripening of coffee cherries.

In the raw bean treatment stage, only ripe red fruit is harvested, and then manual selection and floating fruit elimination procedure is the basic condition. Farmers send the remaining coffee cherries to another washing station, and then carry out the second selection, and remove the flesh before the evening. Then carefully sift out any overfermented, unripe or worm-eaten cherries in a large tank before pectin removal. After the pectin is removed, the shell beans are placed on the cement slate and dried in the sun for 5 days, then bagged and stored for at least 10 weeks. Finally, the peeled raw beans will carry out the last procedure of picking defects by hand. Mavis Bank has the most complete raw bean processing equipment in Jamaica and has 6000 farmers. Under the management of the Moon family, established M.B.C.F, a world-renowned, quality assurance trademark.
