The origin of Blue Mountain Coffee, Jamaica, takes its name from the Blue Mountains surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Blue Mountain Coffee has a rich and mellow taste, and 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, the price is extremely expensive.

The secret of why Blue Mountain Coffee tastes pure: real Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the most advantageous coffee growing conditions in the world, and Jamaica's weather, geological structure and terrain 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. Their coffee trees are on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is so difficult that non-local skilled female workers 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.

In 1717 King Louis XV of France ordered the cultivation of coffee in Jamaica, and in the mid-1920s, the Governor of Jamaica, Sir Nicholas Lawes, imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began to plant them in St. Andrew. By 1800, there were 686 coffee farms in Jamaica.

In 1948, the world-famous Jamaica Coffee Agency (CIB) was officially established, and the Jamaican government enacted the "Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee Industry Management Act". At this time, the definition of Blue Mountain Coffee has been strictly stipulated in the law: ① gives four statutory coffee estates, including wallenford, to concentrate on processing Blue Mountain coffee beans to ensure the quality of Blue Mountain Coffee. ② grows in the Blue Mountain area of 3000-5000 feet. ③ Blue Mountain Coffee Export grades: No.1,No.2,No.3, Raw beans. Jamaica Coffee Industry Council has registered trademarks of 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee ®and 100% Jamaican Alpine Coffee ®, which have been strictly certified and licensed to a small number of coffee growers and processors. Only four estates, Wallenford, Mavis Bank, Moy Hall and SilverHill, are certified by the Jamaican Coffee Industry Council (Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica,CIB).

By 1981, about 1500 hectares of land in Jamaica had been reclaimed for coffee cultivation, followed by the opening of another 6000 hectares of coffee land. In fact, today's Blue Mountain area is a small area with only 6000 hectares of planting area. Another 12000 hectares are used to grow two other types of coffee: Alpine Top Coffee and Jamaican Superior Coffee.

100% pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee has a strong and attractive elegance that is unmatched by any other coffee. When it goes through the steps of grinding, brewing and tasting, it is even more difficult to give full play to its flavor, and it is difficult not to get drunk with the aroma of coffee. The cheaper "Comprehensive Blue Mountain" (Blue Mountain Blend) or "Blue Mountain" coffee (Blue MountainStyle) on the market is usually a combination of better quality Colombian beans, intended to mimic the taste of Blue Mountain. Its caffeine content is very low, only about half of other varieties of coffee, in line with modern health requirements.

Jamaica is one of the countries with low coffee production in the world. Blue Mountain Coffee is a rare commodity in the market, which has established Blue Mountain Coffee as the dominant position in the coffee market. Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, produces 30 million bags of coffee a year, while Blue Mountain produces only about 40, 000 bags a year. Its demand is very high, so some of it is in short supply in the market, so the price is high.
