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 to 5500 feet are authentic [Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee] (Jamaica Blue Mountain). Other coffee 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 Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, hence its name because it 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 (the average precipitation is 1980 mm, the temperature is around 27 degrees), this climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and the highest price coffee in the world. This kind of 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 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. The subsequent process is to dry, which 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.

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 is a high-quality Caribbean coffee, which, like other countries, has been damaged by natural hurricanes. I have seen too many damaged bean cups and the taste of kale. Prices are always affected or even unmarketable in years hit by hurricanes. In addition, the hot and humid environment of island countries often makes coffee moth-eaten or white spots, and coffee beans with real zero defects are always rare. Coupled with the Japanese purchase of 70% of the Blue Mountain Coffee makes the price high, the real high altitude 100% pure Blue Mountain Coffee is produced through the Jamaican national processing plant, the coffee is packed in a special barrel and there is a certificate on each barrel.

R.S.W Blue Mountain Coffee is composed of three local coffee estates Resource, Sherwood Forest, and Whitfield Hall in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica. It is the most stable and best quality of Blue Mountain Coffee. Each estate has a history of more than 1800 years. The owners of the Blue Mountain Coffee worked together to create the legend of barreled Blue Mountain Manor brand coffee a few years later. R.S.W only deals with coffee produced by its own manor group. They will never buy beans from other estates, they mainly use the Sherwood Coffee processing Plant (built before 1800) as their exclusive processing plant, where coffee cherries from the three estates are sent for processing, and the freshly harvested coffee cherries are placed in a humidity-controlled storeroom, with great care in every detail of the process, so that they can provide the buyer with the best Blue Mountain coffee.
