CIB stipulates that only blue mountain coffee beans produced in Jamaica Blue Mountain area above 2200 feet can be called Jamaica Blue Mountain. Its grades are divided into NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and PB specially selected by hand according to bean size. The basic standard of NO.1 blue mountain green beans is beans with more than 17 meshes, defect rate less than 3%, moisture content about 13%, etc. In addition, so far, Blue Mountain coffee green beans only one way to wash, no sun and other processing methods.

Blue Mountain Coffee Classification and Grading:

The history of Jamaica coffee can be traced back to the 18th century. The British introduced coffee trees into Jamaica and planted coffee in the Blue Mountains, which are divided into high-altitude Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, Jamaica Alpine Coffee and Jamaica Coffee. Different grades also determine different prices.

(1) Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

Among them, Blue Mountain Coffee and Alpine Coffee are divided into four grades. From the top to the bottom of the quality points are: NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and PB, PB is round beans. According to CIB standards, only coffee grown above 666 meters above sea level is called Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee; The best coffee in the best coffee, located in Jamaica's Blue Mountain about 2000--2256m high produced coffee, because it is located in the dangerous mountainside, less yield, large particles of good quality, taste harmony, at the same time with appropriate acid, bitter, fragrant, alcohol, sweet, is recognized as the best in the world, so the price of National Treasure Blue Mountain No.1 is the highest among all Blue Mountain coffee.

(2) Jamaica Alpine Coffee

The coffee produced in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica below 666 meters is called alpine coffee, which is also the second best coffee after Blue Mountain coffee. It is called the brother variety of Blue Mountain coffee by industry insiders. Jamaica Blue Mountain caffeine production is very small, so if you want to taste Jamaica coffee, then Jamaica alpine coffee is your best choice.

(3) Jamaica Coffee

Coffee grown outside the Blue Mountains is called Jamaica coffee. It turns out that Chinese coffee industry generally has a wrong understanding that only coffee planted in the Blue Mountain area above 1800 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain Coffee. In fact, there is only one manor, Amber, on the mountain crown above 1800 meters above sea level. It is descended from Chinese people. The manor's main surname is Lyn (Lin). Its ancestral home is Guangdong, China. The manor has only 30 hectares of land and its yield is very small. Blue Mountain coffee is mainly distributed in the Blue Mountains John Crow, St. John's Peak, Mossman's Peak, High Peak, Blue Mountian Peak and other five mountain areas.
